Making baby gifts | Sewing for baby

Soft and cuddly

April 17, 2015

I love making these little blankets for babies.  It takes me about an hour to make one, and they seem to be well-loved.

I have friends and relatives that tell me they are amongst their kids’ favorite blankets.  Plus they last a long time.

One of the reasons: I do a lot of stitching.  There are three lines of stitching on this one for the satin bias binding.

The fabric for this is a Riley Blake flannel and a lovely soft minky.  I thought this flannel was perfect for a little boy that will eventually have a bunch of Hot Wheels.  He can play with them on the roads on his blanket!

I did a tutorial a few years ago for making these blankets, which is here.

I stuffed this inside the diaper bag, and it is on its way to Tennessee.  Finally.  A little late, but that’s how I roll lately.  Too much on the to-do list to get everything done on time!

And baseball/softball season is almost starting.  Oy.  I don’t think I have time right now to get things done…it is about to get worse!

  1. I know an adorable little boy in TN who is absolutely going to love that blanket!! And I know his parents will LOVE the diaper bag! Amazing job as always 🙂
