Annagrace took a long nap today, so I took full advantage and finally made the Taggie blanket and all of the "to do" fleece blankets!! I'm pretty excited about them. I don't know if it satisfied or intensified my crafting urge?!?
I decided to only put ribbons on two sides, I thought it might me a little too busy with them on all four sides. I probably would have done all four sides if I had put fewer ribbons on each side. But I'm happy with it. I made it from fleece so I wouldn't have to sew it on the reverse, flip, blah, blah, blah. I just placed the ribbons between the two pieces of fleece as I was sewing them together. That's the beauty of fleece - no hemming!
I just folded the one yard of fleece in half width wise and did a blanket stitch, by hand around the edge.
This one I folded in half again, but with the reverse sides together and sewed on the sewing machine, turned right side out and stitched up the hole. This one is made out of the softest fleece I have ever felt. Hopefully Annagrace will enjoy these! They are my homemade Christmas present for her. I want to make that a tradition every year: at least one homemade gift.
I can check them off of my list!!!
