an easy blanket.

anna had a birthday party on Friday night.

we decided to do a little sewing.

With 60 inches of a cute cotton, one yard of a soft fabric, a little iron-on and some co-ordinating scrap fabric, we made a cute, easy blanket.

first- we printed out reagan in mirror image.  anna traced it onto the iron-on, ironed that onto a piece of fabric, cut out the letters and ironed them onto her front fabric.

second- on the sewing machine, she stitched in the middle of each letter.

third- we pinned right sides together.

fourth- anna stitched around the edges of the blanket leaving a hole to turn it right-side-out

fifth- we top-stitched around the whole blanket.

VERY FAST and VERY EASY.

 And, I had to make a blanket for my sweet baby...  you can never have too many soft blankets...

happy president's day!
