Sewing projects for 2015

I have a lot of sewing/crafting projects that I have been wanting to make, and this is the year I am going to make them. I am hoping that this will also give me some direction on what to make when I am in the mood to do some creating.

1. Ties for Russell. This one will be a relatively easy project and one that I can do when I only have a few minutes here and there. There is also a girl in our ward who said she'd like to come make some with me for her own little boy.

2. A new diaper bag. I have been wanting a new diaper bag for a while because I am not in love with the design of our current one. I have been reluctant to buy one for various reasons ie. too big, too expensive (our current one is a savers find for like 3 bucks) too many strange compartments. I bought this pattern a couple months ago because I think it will be perfect and easy enough to sew.

3. A hooded scarf. Even though we had a pretty moderate December temperature wise, we have has some really frigid days, too. I have found that I am wearing my hair up a lot more often and so the back of my neck has been freezing. I saw several on pinterest and found this pattern that makes it look pretty easy.

4. A menu board. We have a great permanent place for one in our house, and after making one for Janet for Christmas, I was very encourage to make one for ourselves. Along with a menu board I think I will also make...

5. A Family Home Evening Board. We need one. The only thing is how do I know how many assignments do I put on the board?  Maybe I'll just make a simple one for now and if more people join our family then I'll just have to make another one.

6. These towels.

I got some kitchen towels and potholders on after Christmas clearance that will make great gifts for my visting teachees this next year.

7. A warm/thermal space-suit for Ben. He needs one for working outside during these cold-cold Minnesota winters! Plus, he is a wonderful husband, so he deserves only the best that I, and NASA, can offer. 


These are only a few of the things I have been itching to make. As I make other things I'll be sure to add them to Sew Scoresby for all to see.

Funny. My goal for 2015 is to sew as little as possible. This is Emily, although I don't think Preston plans on sewing much either.

I'm sure Russell and Megan will be great at making treats and preparing lessons for FHE.

I do like my menu board.

Jacob got me a new diaper bag for Christmas, so the old hand me down is no more.

You might want to consider a backpack diaper bag. I bought a nice-ish diaper bag with Sabrina, but I can't tell you how many times I wished I could strap it to my back!

Also, I can't wait to see more photos of your house!
