A Few Firsts

I completed the November blocks for do.Good Stitches this past weekend.  This was my first time making the Simply Woven block.  It seems deceptively easy, but you have to be really careful with how and where you rotate and cut this block, because it's really easy to cut it in the wrong place and have to start over.  A couple of girls in the sewing circle had this issue, so I was forewarned and paid close attention, so that I didn't cut it at the wrong spots.

I also finished up a bib made from an old shirt.  This was my first time sewing velcro, and it was surprisingly painless.  This is from the charity sewing circle at church.  It's part of boxes were forming for mothers in need.  The boxes contain pretty much the baby's first year of needs in terms of lightly used clothes and a few extras like bibs, blankets, books, and toys.  It's called a Loved Twice Box.  We're trying to put together a box for a boy and a box for a girl.
