I can sew?

After reading some blogs of ladies that are super crafty and create wonderful things I was inspired to do some crafting of my own! In a very short time I started following like 20+ blogs. One blog in particular had such a cute idea that I knew I could tackle. A little crinkle toy. 
Since I'm a beginner sewer my mom suggested I sew down the ribbons first. As opposed to trying to sew through three layers all while holding the ribbons in place. I used the wrapper from a bag of popcorn for the crinkle layer.


And so here is the finished project. (minus the zig-zag border)

And here it's being tested by Bear. Well....he'll enjoy it eventually!
    It was such a fun project and I look forward to making more fun things for baby. I had a huge smile on my face when I finished. I ran to show Thomas and was so proud of myself.
  I hope I'm on this sewing kick for longer than a week.

    Way to go Little Miss Crafty-Pants! That looks like a very nicely done project. Before long you'll be ready to go into business. It looks like you guys are doing well. So glad for you!!

    You make me want to bust out the machine (and make a bag of popcorn) and get to work!! Too bad my sewing machine is currently being used as a TV stand. Maybe we'll have to go shopping too!! :)

    That is awesome! I am so not crafty at all, my sister is, and I have been jealous for years. I want to get a machine and learn! Great job!!
