Kid's Roll-Up Blanket |
I finally finished my Kid's Roll-Up Nap Blanket for my nephew "M" that Sew4Home had on their website. I had so much fun picking out the fabrics with my Mom and making it was even more fun. The instructions on Sew4Home's website were very easy and they have pictures to go along with each step. They also have so many beautiful things to make for your family or home.
*Note: I was trying out my portrait lens when I took these pictures, so they came out not as pretty as I would have liked.
I love both coordinating fabrics and the blue fleece. This was also my first attempt at binding a blanket. It was a little trying at times, but, I'm sure with practice it will come out better.
I also made homemade labels that I found at Sew May Ways website. I love that I can personalize a project this way.
When my sister "E" received it in the mail the other day, she absolutely loved it. The nicest compliment was from her husband "E" and her neighbors on the block who thought she bought it from a store.
Hope you all have a wonderful week. I am linking up with these parties and TCB.
This is such a fantastic idea and you have used wonderful fabrics. Can tell why your family loved it.
