Well, I had a really productive day until right at the end. I had to just give up. Everything was going wrong, and after my sewing machine needle broke, I threw in the towel. It was time to call it a day and start fresh tomorrow. However, before everything turned sour, I was able to do a lot of things, and without a lot of hassle. I finished four bibs, two receiving blankets, and two changing pads. Here they are.

I was working on a body suit for my grand daughter when I started to have problems. I have never made this pattern before, and it was a little confusing to me. I am making it out of jersey knit and it is so hard to make small seams. The material kept getting caught down in the machine every time I started a seam. It stretches so much that you have to be careful not to pull on the material, or it will be all out of shape. I was trying to do something that I didn't really understand when the needle hit a pin and broke. I didn't have any needles left for working on knit material, so I had to quit even if I had wanted to keep going. I picked up some more needles tonight, so I will try again tomorrow when my mind is fresh. Besides it, I still have four more things to make for this baby and then I will be finished with everything I plan to make for her, except for the quilt. I haven't even started it yet, but since she is due in August, I don't think she really needs a quilt until later. I want to get the animals made for the other play set before I do anything else after I finish these sewing machine projects.
