Soon, very very soon, James will arrive. He's overdue right now. His mama is excited.
Maybe he'll feel more welcome in this world with a soft blanket. (I'm guessing he already has some waiting; I'm pretty sure his parents are ready).
I made this little blanket out of leftover fabrics. I had some leftover dog minky from Halloween, and I had some leftover tan Cars fabric. Actually, the cars fabric was going to be a dress for Gracie, but I never did get it made and then she lost interest in wearing Cars dresses. Anyway, I still had it and the fabrics matched up nicely! Yay for nice big scraps!
Since I overpurchased these fabrics quite some time ago and they now considered scraps, they are also in my mind considered cost free. Free! This blanket cost nothing!
All I did was put the two layers together and topstitch the edges. There isn't any stuffing in between since the minky is so fluffy already. The blanket is small, just a little carseat or stroller blanket, or a good lovey sized blanket. But it won't keep him warm if he grows long legs in a few years.
Hurry up, James.
*Update: Baby James arrived on January 8th. He sure likes his soft blanket!
