So I finally decided to do something fun and work my magic with sewing. Okay try to work my magic is more like it. I haven't sewn in awhile so trying to do these blankets and pillows was a bit challenging. Truth is I really didn't take the proper measurements for what a toddler or baby blanket should be. I winged it and I did what I felt was a good size. I must say that I have no regrets.
It took me sometime to figure it all out and lay out the material. You really do need a flat surface to lay it all out. That is the best way to make the proper cuts and add your needles as guidelines for sewing and to hold the materials together. I do like to match my fabrics but find it a bit boring to have the same type of fabric on both sides. I like reversible blankets or things in general because when you get tired of looking at it one way, you can switch it and have a totally different look.
I will apologize in advance because I was so excited to share this that I did not use the right lighting or stage my pictures as I normally do. The colors are actually more vibrant. I will have updated pictures later on in the week to post up but for now, I hope you love them as much as I do. I think they are fun.
Yes, I am a Giants fan but make no excuses for the game opener (wow that was horrible) but I love them anyway. This is for the Giants Fans.

I also did a general Football Blanket for those people who love different teams. I think this one is adorable.

Huge difference in color.
If you have an idea, please share it with me. I am trying to do a bit of everything. So far this project was the most fun for me to do because it was a bit challenging.
