Hi JIAD readers!
My name is Kara and I’m a creative mommy blogger over at Mine for the Making.
I love sharing tutorials, recipes, printables, frugal decor ideas, mommy adventures, fashion, and all things DIY. I enjoy painting and designing wooden signs and I also LOVE making jewelry and hair accessories for my shop. Today I am sharing a handmade baby gift that any baby will love!
Enter in…
Supplies:
-2 pieces of coordinating fabric, each 12in x 12 in
-Multiple pieces of ribbon cut in different lengths
(anywhere from 2in to 4in…I didnt actually measure though)
-Sewing machine and notions
(Pardon the bad lighting… this was a nighttime project.)
Tutorial:
-First start by cutting your fabric and ribbon.
-Fold your ribbon pieces in half and pin to one of the pieces of fabric. Pin it so that the ribbon is laying on the right side of the fabric, facing in (look at picture collage above).
-Lay the other piece of fabric on top, right sides together and pin in place.
-Sew all the way around (remembering to back stitch at the beginning and end) except for a small opening to turn right side out.
-Turn right side out through the hole. Press with an iron.
-Go ahead and top stitch all the way around the blanket. Be sure you sew over the small hole as well (picture not in collage).
-DONE!
Such a simple, adorable, handmade baby gift… don’t you think?
This Taggy Baby Blanket is obviously for a girl, but they are great for little misters too!
Babes love the different textures of the ribbon on their fingers…something to pull or chew on is always good, right? {winks}
Thanks for hanging out with me again at JIAD!!
Lots of love and blessing sent to the JIAD home!
I’d love for you to stop by my place and say hi sometime!
