Thank you.  :grinnnn: I'm pretty happy with that fabric, too...it's nice and thick, and though it was dry clean only, I washed it...because lets face it, life happens. It made it look a little aged, but in a good way.  :yesssss:

Love the pillows.... are those regular bed pillows in there?  And those beach balls are awesome.

Nope, they are stuffed with polyfill, so I can change it when it gets lumpy from too many trips through the laundry.

They are stuffed with polyfil too. And they go through the wash nicely.  :good2:

Nice diaper and bug bags, Triss... :good2:

Sarah, those pillows just invite someone's head to rest. :giggle: And those beach balls are adorable. I bet Monkey Man really loves them... :good2:

The fabric belt is what makes it cute.  I had not done that before but saw a picture of one so I decided that all of my jean purses like that will need one.

That pocketbook is fantastic, Triss. :good2: I know you could sell them. You ought to open up a craft shop or try to sell your work to some gift shops. You are very talented... :grinnnn:

So... I soooo do not sew.  But here are the results of my project - the Belly Bands. I will just post the link then you can click on the first pic and view as a slide show if you like.  I'll have to get a pic of them with it on later. Right now they are all crashed and pretty soon there will be houseful, so I will let them rest now.

Belly Bands

The shorter ones are Georgie's and the longer ones are Raphael's.

Thank you.  I am hoping to do a craft show this winter or at the very least have friends start buying my stuff and get the word out.

Barb, you did a great job on those belly bands.
