Baby Blanket I made and some bags...
I haven't posted what I've made in over a year because I keep forgetting to take pictures before giving the items away as gifts! Just made this for a nestie friend. Love the sheep fabric! Minky is on the back.
Oh, I do have some photos of totes I made for Christmas gifts that I never posted!


Re: Baby Blanket I made and some bags...
Stand up for something you believe in.
I am making another one of those bags for myself, but a little larger, to use at the beach. I am making a beach blanket to match, too!
PAIF and SAIF welcome. IVF questions welcome, too.
I used this tutorial, but changed the dimensions to make a bigger bag. There are six exterior pockets and the bag is reversible. The pockets are really deep.
I also used fusible fleece interfacing to make the bags a little padded and more durable feeling. Along the edge of the pockets, I have the inside fabric of the pockets showing a little, sort of like "faux" piping.
Super easy to make!

The fabric collection is a Michael Miller; Going Coastal by Emily Herrick. Pretty sure Fat Quarter Shop, Hawthorne Threads, and Fabric.com have most of them, if not all of them. I bought mine when they first came out last summer/fall and they were selling out, but probably back in stock by now!
I am obsessed with the crab fabric, too. It comes in orange, blue, and gray. I am about to start a beach blanket/quilt out of the collection of fabrics.
