Batman Pouches

I was really trying to get a baby quilt done for this weekend but my Dad got into an accident. Luckily he is okay. We were very worried for a moment since he was on his motorcycle when it happened and was air lifted to the hospital. Scary stuff. Tomorrow my Dad goes in for surgery on his wrist/hand. We are so glad that all he came away with was a few broken bones.  Poor Daddy is all broken and it is his birthday today too. He was giving me a hard time since I did not have a quilt ready for him. I had made one for my mom for mothers day but she got it a few months early when she was in the hospital. She had broke her leg and had a partial hip replacement. Yes my parents are falling apart. Ugh.

Anyhow I was able to get the birthday present done earlier this week for this weekend plus a custom order. Little boys no matter their age need a little batman in their life, right?! I made some more striped pouches from this tutorial here. I figure this a great size for in diaper bags for small stuff..

And some toy leashes from this tutorial here.

Sorry that is all the sewing that has happened this week. It has been crazy. I am tired.

Linking to finish it up friday at crazy mom quilts

Toy Leash…

I wish I had one of these when I had little a little baby who threw things from highchairs at restaurants, from their carseat, from anywhere really. I think that this will be my go to baby shower gift for a while. I followed this tutorial from Moda bakeshop, well kind of. I did not sew the fabric on the batting and then fold it over and sewed it closed. I did not like the seaming that way. So I just pressed the fabric over the batting down then folded the other side over top then pinned it into place. That way you only have one seam in the middle instead of two seams fighting with each other! I also got to practice some straight line quilting! Oh and of course it matches this little ones tumbler quilt!
