sew and tell: "bumpy" blanket


Here's Kailey modeling the latest sewing project while Zoe enjoys a rawhide. As I mentioned on Sunday's post, Kailey was interested in having a new blanket for lounging (and road trips to Wichita!) so we picked up this super soft material at Hobby Lobby on Saturday. I've seen baby blankets made out of this fabric - it's got these little bumps for texture, hence the blanket's nickname, "Bumpy."

The original plan was to make one side white and one side blue (to mimic the sky and clouds) and then use satin blanket binding to finish the edges. The plan changed, as most plans do. We ended up just sewing two pieces of blue fabric together and nixed the satin binding completely (Kailey didn't think it was soft enough). So now I have plenty of white fabric ready for the next project.
