I'm slowly getting through some of the crafts that I started while pregnant.
One of the easiest and fastest one is from the book
Sweet Booties!: And Blankets, Bonnets, Bibs and More by Valerie Van Arsdale Shrader. I just used some scrap fabric leftover from other baby projects. You just cut out six squares that are four inches on a side. I used three different fabrics and cut out twenty four squares, eight of each fabric, to make four blocks.
|
Sew right sides together of two fabrics with 1/4 inch allowance and continue until you get a strip of four. |
|
Sew last two fabrics on bottom of the strip of four to make a "T" shape. Leave a 1/4 inch spot on top that you will later pivot and sew to start shaping the block. |
|
Take one of the fabrics on the "T" and align it with closest fabric (for this block it is the adjacent trees fabric).

Ashley! Love your blog and I am so excited to read all the updates. Plus I really want to make these blocks! I've never considered myself to be a crafty person, but this looks easy enough with your step by step pictures (because I don't read too good). Tell me how baby S likes them when he is old enough to use them, and I will make them for my baby O!
ReplyDeleteHi! We can make the blocks together when you come visit :)
ReplyDeleteI'm officially inviting myself to come too even though my baby might be a little old for those. Sounds like a party!
