First Baby Sewing Project

I made a boppy for the baby. A boppy is a U-shaped pillow good for nursing, tummy-time, helping with sitting, etc. I found a pattern online and found some fabric that I like and will definitely be durable (it's a canvas). However, I chose just to make a pillow instead of a pillow and a cover. And my very generous sister, Annalisa, let me use the sewing machine she got for Christmas. Still, sewing that last bit by hand was absolutely horrible.
Hopefully it will work.

Kelsey, this looks really great! Probably WAY cheaper than the $35 store bought Boppys! I didn't know you could sew, that'll come in very handy with kiddos!

Kelsey, you wrote that I let you use my sewing machine for Christmas. Wow, I am so generous to you:)

wow! you're a pro! I love the fabric you picked out. I hope you don't mind if I copy your idea for our second one (no announcement any time soon...)- we didn't get one for Treson cuz they just seem like a really expensive pillow, but after hearing all these moms rave about them I kinda wish we did. though, I am glad he's not deformed or brain-dead from the lack thereof.
