I have this watermelon fabric that I just love. And when I found this adorable pattern over at
Craftsy, I knew I had to make it! I am so excited with how it turned out!
My once-upon-a-time-almost-sister is expecting, and while I couldn't make it to her baby shower, I did send a gift. I caught the "faux chenille" bug (thanks to these amazing tutorials at
Aesthetic Nest and
Made), and thought this was the perfect excuse to try it out! I layered a super cute Michael Miller giraffe cotton print with 4 layers of flannel. Then I sewed endless lines a half inch apart...
Then I cut in between all those lines through 3 layers of the flannel, and attached the binding.
Put it in the washer and dryer, and TA-DA! It gets softer and softer over the next several washes! I must make MORE!
My label!
I also learned how to machine applique! Here's my first attempt!
Finally, here is my work-in-progress Dr. Seuss quilt... just the top is done so far.
Ok, that's all my show & tell for today!
