Sewing Project #3: Travel Toy Blanket

The finished product: for my impatient readers.

Long, long ago, Prudent Baby led me to this tutorial for a travel toy blanket.  At the time, the Fidg was still very much enamored of tags. Couldn't chew enough of them. Of course, I figured something with chew-specific tags would probably not count since they wouldn't be the real thing, but it seemed like a fun project, relatively easy, and with many opportunities to get my-level creative (ie: find lots of cute ribbon. I can handle that.)

That was in November.

But now, finally, I've made one! She may not want to chew the tags anymore, but something to which I can attach toys still seems like a good idea.  Check out my own step-by-step commentary after the jump.

'Ten minute' is a title, not a guaranteed duration

And for my next trick . . . .

My second sewing project was the "10-minute Onesie Dress" from Prudent Baby.

It was probably closer to a 45-minute Onesie Dress With A Two Hour Intermission During Construction, but I did at least finish it in a day.  More on the making and the "After" pictures after the jump.

She's Crafty. Sew Crafty.

(Ed.'s Note: I don't trust people who don't like puns.)

Today, I busted out the sewing machine. I figured out how to wind a bobbin. I figured out how to load the bobbin. I correctly threaded the needle. And I made a whole little project, just like that.  A project just like this, just like that.

Next up, a pillow case dress and a onesie dress. And a pot holder. And a fat-quarter apron. Because I aim to be cool like these gals. Someday.
