Over the last year I have discovered the joy of picking out fabrics and sewing on my sewing machine which I have had since college and am just now figuring out how to use!
Specifically I have have been making baby blankets for all of my friends and family that are expecting a little bundle of joy. I have had so much fun going to the fabric store and picking out just the right fabrics for the expectant mothers. Most of the time I try to pick a fabric to coordinate with the nursery theme but occasionally I will find a fabric that just seems to perfect to pass on. I use snuggle flannel in a fun pattern for the front and ultra cuddle fleece on the back in a solid color. On my latest blanket I attempted to use binding on the edge to finish the blanket off. (I must admit it was a pain at times but it looks so nice!)
Here is a picture of the blanket I just finished for my cousin's new baby, Jack!
Since it is now summer time and I have a little more free time I also decided to try and make something new that I saw on a fellow bloggers site, called the ribbon snuggly. It was super easy to make and lots of fun as well! The one pictured below I made to coordinate with the blanket for baby Jack!
I am thinking my next sewing project is going to be curtains for the office/guest room and some for the laundry room as well! If they turn out nice I will post pictures when done!
