Cute pink giraffe fabric |
A friend recently had a little girl which was quite a surprise since they were expecting a boy. I had made several items for her baby shower but decided she needed a girl blanket now.
Name in center |
I chose a cute giraffe print I had in my stash along with the pretty grey fabric. I got all the stats from momma and embroidered them onto to the grey flannel after cutting both pieces to the same size.
All the stats in the corners |
The name went in the middle and the other stats on each of the four corners. I layered the pieces right sides together and pinned around the edges.
Layering the fabrics |
I then used my Cut-A-Round to round off the corners. I sewed it with a 1/2 inch seam allowance, leaving an opening for turning. I pressed the seam and turned it right side out and pressed again.
Trimming the corners |
I then topstitched around the edge to close the opening and also prevent the fabrics from creeping.
All finished and ready to snuggle up a new baby.
