Success! I sewed my first flannel swaddling blanket and coordinating burp cloth. I made it for my cousin’s new baby, and I’m sure she’ll love it.
I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to do it, given my sewing machine’s touchy personality (I honestly think it hates me). After a thorough cleaning and oiling the machine worked like a charm!
The Easy Peasy instructions truly were easy peasy. This was probably the easiest thing I have ever sewn! It only took me one hour per set, despite the fact that I really haven’t sewn much since I was 9 years old.
I hit some good sales at Jo-Ann so each set only cost me about $5.00 to make, including fabric, thread, and appliques.
I’ll print off a page of swaddling instructions to include in the gift bag. Now off to get a cute bag and tissue paper for tomorrow’s baby shower! I hope she likes it!
Looks like you did a great job – I’m so impressed!! What fun, personalized, thoughtful gift!
I personally think you did a fabulous job. Love them and I am sure your cousin will too.
