Blanket with Love

This cute little blanket is for my little diva. She loves having a blanket or burp rag by her face. I don't know why she just does. So I thought I'd try my hand at making one. Although this weekend I went to the orange county swap meet and they had a few there. I did buy one just in case mine didn't turn out. The one I bought was $15 and if I would of waited a few aisles down was one for $10, oh well(next week I will show you what I bought there). Like always it would of been cheaper just to buy one than make one but I already bought the stuff. So I started on my project then I thought let me take pictures. I had already cut out the fabric two pieces front and back. I made mine the size of her burp cloths. Then I determined where I wanted the ribbons and pinned them.


Once they were all pinned I sewed them on.





During this process I started having trouble with my sewing machine again. Yes I wanted to throw it out the door again. Since my mom is here she messed with it a bit and got it going. So I continued on my sewing little way. I put both pieces together and sewed them together.




Don't forget to leave an opening to turn it inside out.




Stitch up the opening. I then sewed them together right side out.



Now my blanket is done. Not perfectly straight but made with lots and lots of love.


The little diva feeling the love.
