I dug out some flannelette that was destined for charity and tried to make a fancy-schmancy receiving blanket which is beyond my non-mathematical brain. So I opted to do my own thing.
These two fabrics were remnants from another project.
When I was all finished, one little receiving blanket and one burp cloth -- which is my regular gift to new moms.
The free pattern for the burp cloth and tutorial are here:
Thanks to Jennifer and Shabby Fabrics.
Check out her website. She has so many wonderful tutorials.
Why not make another? The first one went so well.
Of course, a burp cloth to match.
and then I had this idea. A baby bandanna. I made them years ago and donated them. I use my walking foot when sewing my layers of flannelette
