Crafty Sewing Mama Challenge Week 3

Ok, ok, so I skipped week two. I really wanted to participate but with my new store opening, it was a hectic week. So without further procrastination, here are my week 3 sewing challenge items. One of the themes chosen was, "Picture Perfect."

What are these, you ask? Well they are camera strap covers. They are padded with fusible fleece so they are oh-so squishy. I use this tutorial to make them. They are very simple to make and only take about 15 minutes each. I am gifting these to my best friend and boyfriend, they are both art majors and huge photography buffs. I made them each coffee cozies with these fabrics, and so I used the leftovers to make the straps. 

Oh and next week, Friday the 25th of February, I will be having my first REAL and OFFICIAL stocking. I will have some premade diapers along with some custom slots, so be sure to check it out. 

Testers

So I know I never got around too doing last weeks sewing challenge, so this week I am definitely going to be getting too it. I was a little overwhelmed this weekend with the tester orders, I didn't expect them to sell so quickly. I was also really bogged down with homework and that is more important than anything else. But here is a sample of some of my testers, I made two more, I just wanted to give you a peak!

First Stocking!

Okay so I posted my first stocking on HyenaCart just a few moments ago. I am looking for testers for my sized side snapping diaper. I will be stocking other items this weekend too! Check it out!

Giving Back

Okay so no projects to report at the moment. I probably won't get to doing my sewing challenge project until this weekend but I will post it as soon as I am finished so no worries. I have been diligently working on getting my ducks in a row so that I may open up my tester slots on Friday and get them posted on my Hyena-Cart.

Today I am heading to the post office to mail a package. In this package there will be two diapers and a diaper cover and I am mailing them in to donate to the Cloth Diaper Foundation. Ever heard of em? Well they are a great little foundation, they provide cloth diapers to those that cannot afford their own stashes. Buying a starter stash can be a small investment from $150 to $600 depending on which route you go when purchasing diapers. I spent about $300 on mine.

If you feel like you would like to donate to this foundation, check out their website. They take any cloth diapers that are in working condition and are not in need of repair. Here is their address if you would like to mail in a donation.

The Plunge

I have decide to take the plunge and open a Hyenacart account. I will be selling my side snapping AI2 cloth diapers, along with other creations like coffee cozies and upcycled wool soakers. I will start taking testers as of Friday, February 11th. On Thursday I will give out the link to the store, until then, you will just have to wait :) I am in the process of getting prepared over the next couple of days. I will also be completing my Sew Crafty Mama Week 2 challenge later this week, I can't wait to share that with you guys also. In the mean time to keep you guessing, her is a creation I made yesterday afternoon.

Isn't it just SO adorable???
