I worked on many projects over the last week. Mostly blankets. Here they all are hanging over the edge of our Pack-n-Play,
These projects like most started with purchasing a big pile of fabric from Fabric Depot and then bringing it home to wash it all.
Then I just had to decide how I wanted to make them all. I kept it pretty simple because I am by no meas master of the sewing machine yet. For the first two I just sewed them peices together in a square leaving a gap so that I could flip them right side out. Then I sewed around the outside once just to keep it all together. The dino one is for me sweetie... just so he could have a more masculine one to wrap our precious girl in .
With this one I tried something a little different ... it worked out alright. Because I had a bit more of the owl fabric then the polka dots I made the Prefect corner blanket. I followed this tutorial. so now my owls are edging the dots. I really like it as well.
The last of my blankets were just crocheted. I used a double crochet stitch and made them the width I wanted and crocheted all of the two skeins I had. These two ended up a bit smaller, I think they will be great for swaddling and the cloth blankets will be great floor play blankets... at least at first when she is so small.
I hope these blankets will keep our little girl warm for many years to come. What projects have you guys been up to lately?
