After my successful sewing venture yesterday, today I decided to take on another project I've been putting off. A few months ago we found a moses basket at D.I. for very cheap, so I bought it. It was "naked" though, no lining and no sheets for the pad. Well, today I finally made the lining. I cut up an old pale green sheet and sewed it up. Considering that I'd never made anything like it, and didn't use any kind of pattern at all, I think it turned out pretty cute.
Later I'll get around to making a couple sheets too. I don't have the elastic I'll need to make them, but once I buy some I'll just use fabric I have lying around the apartment to make some cute sheets.
It's fun to be sewing and making useful things again! Next I need to pick up the hooks and start crocheting again - I need to make a blanket for the baby.

Yay! You are so awesome to make me a mei tai, this will be so much fun to cart a baby around in. Especially since William is too small to walk by the cart, height wise anyway. I'll be looking for fabric for a regular long wrap-y thing too, so I can nurse while running around and all that.
That basket looks so cute and portable! That will really come in handy for just letting baby nap wherever you happen to be, so you can keep an eye on the little ones to.
I am so impressed! Somehow I missed your post about the baby sling you made back in March. But both the sling and the "Moses" basket are so cool!
