Blankets!

My first blanket is what I call a Chenille.. and it took about 7 hours to sew all the lines and then about one to bind it, and about 2 to wash and dry it. Every time I have made a blanket like this I tell my self I will NEVER make another.. yea well, guess what... I made my Little guy one! I sure hope it last for a while because my sewing machine was being a PAIN and kept not catching and it was so awful.
I was really happy with how it turned out, It has the Soft minky fabric on the back, (first time ever sewing with that kind of fabric!)



The Second blanket is a Self Binder blanket. They are super simple to make, but absolutely HATE making them.. 1 because my corners never turned out right so they were ugly, and 2 if you want the corners to turn out right you HAVE to iron them.. well I DON'T iron..
My good friend Harmony came over and wanted to make one.. So I had my mother in law help us because I hated making them so much.. and she ironed my corners for me!! So my blanket actually turned out this time, and I just may make another.. but I do know I will have to iron it.. Harmony's turned out really pretty it was made of flannel and the Minky soft stuff.. which I just may have to copy and do one with the soft stuff because it turned out sooo cute!

Things for our New Addition!

I really didn't do to much for Christmas, I only made 3 gifts.. BUT now, I am making this for our new little guy coming in 10 weeks (give or take..)
First I made a Car Seat Cover! (I've had the fabric since we found we were having a boy, but weren't telling, so I waited and made it now that everyone knows!)

Inside...Stripes

I got some fabric to make matching burps clothes (they match with a blanket I was given too) So I put those together

And some other ones I've had fabric for that I JUST LOVE!!!

I still plan on making at least one more blanket that I got the Fabric for today, so we'll see how that one turns out! And I could just make a few more burp clothes or things since I do have a LOT of boy fabric hanging around!!!
