One of the mother's I was sewing for asked if I could make heirloom quality blankets and bids for her to give as shower gifts. She keep me busy with those!
Recently I was asked if I had any baby items and I pulled out my old patterns and started playing around with some new ideas.
Here's the result!
I love this curved pattern and I simply sewed rows of fabric together and then cut the pattern on the fold. I wanted to add some "pretty" but also make it washable...because you know it going to get dirty! I used scraps of fabric for the flowers and when I could, I free hand cut the petals, also on the fold and then hand appliqued them down. I know, there are easier/faster ways, but I spent the day watching TV and talking with my daughter today, working on these, instead of under a machine all day. That's the best part of hand applique.
I definitely think I'll be doing more of these. This one is listed on my Etsy store, ready to be mailed to you!
