One of my sorority sisters asked me to make her a blanket using her son’s blankets and baby clothes. I used 98% of the baby items on the front and the back. I also used a layer of cotton batting plus a layer of polyester mid-loft to give it that extra coziness you can see. I chose a free-hand meander on my long-arm machine to give it just enough density to make the negative space puff up. My “sister” and I were both proud of how it turned out. Thank you for letting me help you cherish your son’s baby
We had a crochet party for my daughter a few years ago (I believe for her 7th birthday). I made these adorable purses as part of the girls loot bags (they also had a crochet hook and ball of yarn included). The girls loved them so much I made a few extra for my shop. They measures approximately 6″ wide by 7.5″ tall. My daughter is modeling different ways to wear the purses.
Fabric is so sensory to me. I love the crisp smell of it, the colours entrance me, the feel just makes me imagine it in a completed quilt or garment. When I purchase it, often-times it gets folded and kept in a drawer until I (eventually) get to using it in a project. I like this idea from Torie Jayne of using hanging baskets to display the fabric to keep me inspired. How do you store and get inspired by your fabric?
