Pillows with our model Lemur |
And that adorable little girl in the picture is Lemur, our current house guest we are testing out for full adoption. She’s one of S’s rescues we fell for. So far so good. For now her favorite hobby is to sit on my craft table and keep me company while I sew or interrupt my sewing…
I also tried my hand on those tag blankets that seem to be pretty popular for baby gifts. I used instructions from this great book by Lotta Jansdotter called Simple Sewing for Baby: 24 Easy Projects for Newborns to Toddlers
I made two medium sized ones and then a tiny one with some scraps I had. Such an easy project and great to have on hand for baby gifts. It was also a great excuse for me to stock on up on ribbon in all sorts of fun colors.
Join the Mix and Mingle Party over at the Mustard Ceiling.

Thanks for linking up today and for posting a button :). I have to admit I was scared of sewing for the longest time…I started in January, and I really enjoy it. I love your minky blankets with the tags, so cute!
