can you believe how tiny my little thomas is still? he has the cutest little chicken legs, if i do say so.
anyhow, i wanted to share a few blankets i sewed for the little guy.
this first quilt is my absolute favorite. i love all the colors and the stripes! the other side is a soft white minky fabric. my friend jessica made a darling one for her little girl after she was inspired by a cute bib from modern thread. one of these days i’ll have to make jess post a tutorial when she’s not so busy, because they really are cute and not too hard to make.
this yellow, black and white blanket i started originally for my little norah, i even bought the cutest pleated ruffle yellow trim for it. well, it goes to show you how great i am at finishing sewing projects. so, i finished it for mr. thomas. it is also yellow on the other side.
it’s also nice for taking pictures of the little peanut.
this last one i used an amy butler fabric i had lying around forever. i made it small on purpose, it’s the perfect size for car seats. it’s a soft off white minky fabric on the other side.
wow! i proud of myself for actually finishing a few sewing projects around here. you’d seriously die if you saw my list of things i need to sew that i just haven’t gotten around to doing… it’s pretty sad.
Awww, he is SOOOO adorable!!!….and so are the blankies 🙂
Such cute blankets, and an even cuter little boy!
Oh my! I LOVE THOSE!
And PLEASE post a tutorial – I SO want to make one of these!
Those are beautiful blankets and the little peanut is just perfect! My favorite is that black and white and yellow one – LOVE IT!
Those all turned out amazing, I need to have another baby just so I can make one of those like Jess'. And just goes to show, we need to have more sewing nights! He is one adorable TINY little peanut.
Girly, I adore these blankets, and little mr Thomas could not cuter!! What a doll, and he is itty!!
Very cute blankets! You'll be glad you did those. Your little guy is so sweet. I totally understand your 'things to be sewn' list. I don't think mine will ever be completed at the rate I'm going.
wow, caroline! are you going to start offering blankets in your shop, too?!? these are incredible.
miss you. i hope all is well, and you are handling three littles well. sometimes those days can get long.
dying over the first one! amazing….
Oh such a cute wee babe, adroable! I LOVE the black/white/yellow combo – can you tell me where you got the white/black fabric? Thanks xx
These are darling, and mr. thomas is so sweet! Cutest little chicken legs ever! 🙂
Love- love – love these! Nice job
I would love to make that first blanket for both of my boys! Adorable baby and blankies. 🙂
Unbelievably adorable!! As if he needed blankets to make him cuter… ; )
love all the blankets. what type of fabric did you use for the stripes? it looks so soft.
hi mandy.
i just used the regular solid cotton colors at the fabric store that i liked. i tried to get as many of the kona cotton fabric in the colors i like because it's softer and better quality. hope this helps..
Do you top stitch the trim on or sew it in between the fabrics? How would you do a ruffle trim? Thanks!
hi riskeybusiness.
i top stiched the trim on. and i have no idea how to do a ruffle trim. i usually just buy the trim all ready to sew on.
