Nesting: The Sewing Corner

Last time 'round (a refrain that keeps going through my head), making things for my impending baby looked waaaay different.  I'm pretty sure I whipped out 5 quilts in 2 weeks (here, here, here, here).  This time?  Zero.  Zip.  Zilch.  No quilts for this baby.  Last time?  Diaper clutches, changing pads, tiny clothes, all of the things.  This time, well, most of the stuff I'm feeling compelled to make is not even for the new baby.

That's normal, right? 

Two Boppy covers.
One in flannel because *BRRRR!!*
This one is basically for baby...

Two new over-sized wetbags.
Eventually will be used by baby, but right now for RG.
So maybe kinda sorta for baby...

Pillow covers for the couch pillows.
The peach, its jersey.
I'm in love with it.
Baby, well, baby will likely not care one whit.

I wanted to show you the back of the pillows.
Riley did not have the same desire.

A new Shwin+Shwin Lizzy dress for RG.
Made with some Goodwill fabric from a while back.
Only the best for my first bambina.
Perhaps if we have another girl, it could go to her...

Its sort of a wooly blend.
Except soft and not scratchy.

Finally, an outfit for baby, complete with a bow just in case its a bambinA.
Hoodie pattern found here
Pants pattern found here

Aaaannndd... thats about it.  And by "about" I mean that its really all of it.  Its so much less than last time, and its much less baby-centered than last time, too.  I'm pretty sure that its going to be a theme with this whole shebang, however, that its less baby-centered than last time.  It's the trade-off of a second child, I believe.  They don't get nearly as much time or individual attention, but they don't get experimented on nearly as much either; they get the benefit of our experience while trading the personal care.  Oh, and they also trade in the new quilts and made-for-me clothes.  Hopefully we've learned enough that its not a loss on their part ;)
