Faux Chenille Baby Blanket – TUTORIAL
Creating a faux chenille blanket tutorials wasn’t really on my to-do list. But then so many of you asked for it…how could I not?? I’ve been sewing these for about 5 years and have shared the directions (cryptically) with a few friends through email over the years. So I’m glad that it’s all written down in a step-by-step process now. For a while, faux chenille blankets were my go-to gift for a baby shower. Layers of cotton fabrics are sewn into rows and rows of diagonal lines and then cut and washed to create a faux chenille look. These blankets are great for snuggling and also work as a playmat, while baby rolls around with toys. I first shared Lucy’s baby blanket with you, that I sewed 4 years ago. And though I didn’t have a baby in mind when making this new blanket, I went for a rainbow of colors and love the happy, cheery vibe. I must point out that like most quilting, this blanket takes a while to make. Ready to jump in?? Ready, set, break!

Princess Seamed Bodice Pattern Generator
Fill in the blanks and follow the directions to create your own waist-length princess seamed bodice! I have done something amazing! I have used Excel to create a princess seamed bodice pattern generator, and I'm letting anyone and everyone use it! You won't be able to change anything but the purple cells (to keep mean people from stealing it), but those are the only ones you need to be able to mess with. All you do is take your measurements, put them in the appropriate purple block, and follow the directions. Make sure you read the notes at the bottom first. This is not the last version I'm going to make. The software I used was Microsoft Office Excel 2007.
lil Mop Top: Cozy Flannel Blanket - Tutorial!
This blanket is my most FAVORITE item I have made so far! I made it for John's for his second birthday and I hope he loves using it! My best friend and college roommate had this fabulous flannel comfy blanket that her mom made her. She had told me how it is made and I kept it in the back of my mind as a possible project...and that was almost 10 years ago! She told me that her mom makes one for one family member each Christmas and everyone holds their breath hoping they were the 'chosen one' that year. Want to make one as a special gift? 1. 2. 3. 4. If you look really carefully, you can see where I sewed my lines in this picture... 5. 6. 7. Front: Back: I forgot to do this, but I had thought of appliqueing John's name on the blanket before I started sewing the layers together. Like I said, I LOVE how this turned out! I think he liked it!... If you make one, I would love to see pictures!
