Spiderman Squares

The Spiderman quilt is consuming all my free time. I finished two of the three accent squares (that are going across the foot of the bed). The eyes are appliqued. They weren't too hard, just took a lot of time.

I created a paper piecing pattern to make the spider web. It was a ton of work, but not too difficult. I think I will end up doing a paper piecing pattern for the third accent square (a spider). I just have to design it first.

Spiderman Blanket (coming soon)

About a month ago my son got a big boy bed! Since he's only 18 months and he tends to crawl all over in his sleep, it's just a mattress on the floor, but he's still so proud of it! We let him pick out his own sheets and he surprised us by choosing Spiderman (which he affectionately calls "pider" or "man", depending on the day).

I didn't love any of the blankets that were for sale with the sheets. They're way to cheap looking and not at all cute. So, I've planned out a quilt and purchased the material to make for my husband Logan. I'm excited to have designed it, and can't wait to get it done and on his bed! I'll keep you posted on how it goes.

Felt Breakfast

I've been doing a lot of cooking lately and as a result my son has wanted to do a lot of cooking too. So much so that he would ask for snacks and when I gave him something he would dump them in his pot and start stirring it. So I decided to make him some fake food to cook with. It's a quick and easy project, and he's loved the results!

I've scanned my pattern so you can make some too! If you want the PDF, just leave a comment with your email address and I can send it to you. To make these I sewed on the accents on one of the bases first (ex. for the waffle or the egg), then I sewed the back on. 

I made the syrup and strawberry syrup separate from the waffle and the pancake, so Logan can choose which syrup he wants when he gets to the point where he cares. The apple is the same pattern as the orange, just without the sections sewn in.

Website Revamp: Stage 1

It's been a crazy few weeks around the Plastow house! My husband and son both were sick for about a week and a half. It put quite a damper on my sewing, but we're better again and back in the game! So be ready for more.

I know this site hasn't been up too long, but one of my New Years Resolutions was to fix it up. I've always wanted to have a few tabs to make it easy to find a project when you're looking for something specifically. So now you can find what you're looking for by clicking on the tabs at the top.

The tabs are organized into the sections "Tutorials" and "Inspiration". If I get enough feedback from the inspirations, I can work on a tutorial for those as well.

I have visions of getting a new background and a new header, I just have to sweet talk my graphic designer of a husband into helping me out. The problem is I don't exactly know what I want yet. I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually though!
