A Sewing Morning

sakon76Two more crib sheets and one pillowcase sewn up this morning. I also dug out a piece of pre-quilted fabric (hot pink on one side, bright orange on the other) I got in a random grab bag and cut it to the length of the pad on the changing table. I figure I'll sew binding around the edge and a bit of elastic across the width to make it wrap, and it can be a reversible changing pad cover. Since currently we just wrap bath towels around the thing. The pad's not a standard size, so we were never really able to buy covers for it, and I already have this fabric, so why not experiment...?
My feet, ironically, feel fine this morning. But my calves are still killing me from all the Comic-con walking. And one shoulder hurts. I'm basically taking it easy and hoping the sundry aches and pains of exertion heal up by Friday.
ETA: changing pad cover experiment seems a success! (All the stuff I've been sewing is currently in the wash, so we'll see how much shrinkage happens in the dryer.) And I found in my stash some fabric that didn't look too bad with the remnant of the third crib sheet, so I did up one more coordinating pillowcase. Three new sheets, three new pillowcases, one changing pad cover, and ten yards of fabric from my stash actually used up! And I have enough elastic for another crib sheet and another pad cover, but for the former I'll wait and see if I need to adjust the pattern fit any, and for the latter, I haven't got any more prequilted fabric on hand, so....
