Sew Busy

Part of my nesting has been utilizing my sewing stash - fabrics I bought when Jared was tiny that have sat unused taking up space and weight. Since we're having another boy they might as well get used even if it is dated. Baby won't care. So, here are the goods so far...

Bottom with an opening flap to slip the cover in and out. There are lots of tutorials that include a zipper, but I just wasn't interested in going there. Fold over flap was much more my speed.

Aaron insisted on sleeping with it that night :) He looks kind of cozy snuggled up with it.

Baby Fabric Rings/Chains (instructions courtesy of http://www.makeit-loveit.com) 
These were pretty simple in concept and execution but a major pain to actually sew shut. I have three more links I could have added but decided I was done. Next time I make them I will add the step of folding down the ends when I sew the strips. The ones that happened to already have a sewn edge seemed to be easier to work with when I linked them.
