Baby Sikes 2 Nano

Sophia gently informed me that her baby sister was going to need her own Nano.  For those that are reading that don't know, my daughter has named her security blanket Nano and felt the soon to be arriving baby should have one too.  Nano lately has become quite human in that it eats at the table on a chair, loves grapes, goes on the the doll potty chair and even gets sad sometimes.  Who knew?   So, I found a scrap of soft flannel fabric and started sewing. I made a small lightweight blanket for baby Sikes 2 so she will have her very own blanket.

With this project I learned how to use blanket binding which I have never used in sewing before. It was harder than I expected but fun to learn.

Mizzou blanket

I made a surprise Mizzou blanket and matching pillow with my serger for Scott. He is a huge football fan and loves watching and cheering for Missouri. He has no idea and doesn't read my blog so he will be surprised.

Scraps can become a cute little doll blanket

I made a baby doll blanket out of some scrap flannel from the fabric store. My daughter chose the fabric out of the remnant basket at the fabric store. I wasn't sure what we would make at the time but she wanted it and it was marked down. Here is what it became.  Unfortunately, I can't get this photo to turn the right way so I guess it will be sideways.   The pillows are on the right rather than at the top.
