Sewing stuff for babies
i had a weird urge to sew a baby blanket… It is
the perfect excuse to try out some embroidery.

If you read my blog and know me, and are going to
have a baby, don’t spoil the surprise and tell the baby about this. I took some
cute cotton fabric and backed it with flannel to make a baby blanket and a burp
cloth. Then I added a decorative zigzag topstitch. i amazed even myself by
washing (and preshrinking) the fabric first. I also tried my hand with a little
embroidered accent on each one.

The burp cloth is a little raggedy and uneven,
but hey! it is for baby vomit!

I am sorry that it turned out this way, but I think
that the monkey (pattern purchased from Sublime
Stitching) on the burp cloth looks a little maniacal. I think he is
mad because his digits are too big. If it is not allowed to go anywhere near
the baby to prevent a monkey-phobia, i understand.

Okay knitters, time for a
sit down. Know that baby gift that you have been working on forever? Maybe it
is a little sweater or a blanket or something…. this entire endeavor,
including embroidery, took about 2 hours. Okay, plus the laundering but I am
sure that you wash clothes anyway. I will never come up with some cockamamy plan to
knit
an entire freaking blanket. Insanity is what that
is.
