Sounds great. I'm a bit of a hobby sewer (dont think that's spelt right..it looks like something else..lol) but haven't had a chance to do anything since DD was born. Before she was born I made a ton of burp cloths with the intention of selling them but didn't have any interest.
I have quite a few projects on the go though- a patchwork puppy (must finish it cause I know DD would love it), a pillow case I was doing for my little brother (has been in progress for a couple of years ) which is just calico and I'm hand appliquing lizards onto it. Will look pretty cool when it eventually does get finished.
I've also done a few little teddy bears, some stuffed with polyfill and some with split peas to make them like bean bags. And I started embroidering a heap of cushion covers, just have to cut out fabric for the back so I can sew them together.
Must get all my photos of my projects together. Right now though I want to make some door snakes, have the fabric just need to get some filling and cut out/sew them. Hopefully before winter is over
I got a new machine for christmas and have hardly had a chance to sew as I was working two jobs and had no time But now I am slowing down with work I am going to jump on this weekend.
I have a mountain of material, I found an awesome website in the US that sells absolutely stunning fabrics and has great specials and postage was really cheap and quick and with the exchange rate it was definitely value for money!!
I have a few projects on the go:
Quite for my nephew, I have to finish the quilting and do the border.
Bibs with sleeves for DD and some friends, they have a waterproof backing and sleeves, and really pretty fabrics at the front. My own pattern
NICU gowns for our local hospital, I made 56 last year and donated them for christmas, this year I am hoping to make 100. I have created my own pattern
Flanellette Sheets for DD, I picked up some gorgeous fabric from Spotlight for $3 a m on sale over summer!
I have about 6 nappies cut out ready to sew, but I need to buy more fabric for boosters, so this project is on hold as I think I should be using the fabric I have before buying more.
I also make little bags to hold ventolin, spacers and spare puffers for Daycare/Kindy, a few friends have asked if I can mkae them for them as well, they are personalised with names and are fully lined
Plus a pile of patterns ready to make clothes for DD, she needs track pants for daycare and I do need to go to spotlight and buy some more trackie material
If anyone has photos of what you have done I would love to see it!
