So, I am not usually a Black Friday shopper- actually I am NEVER a black Friday shopper, but this year we were at my parents house and it just happened that I needed a few (10) yards of fleece and one of the major fabric chains was advertising 75% off one line of fleece, so My mom and I decided to brave the chaos (keep in mind that fabric store BF(Black Friday) chaos is not nearly the same as say- Walmart BF chaos- and mostly it meant having to wait 10-20 minutes to get our fabric cut). Wow that is one long sentence, sorry about that! Anyway while we were there we discovered that ALL the flannel was on sale for $1.49/yard- yup, you read right, $1.49 per yard! There were so many cute prints, but I am really proud of myself for keeping it under control. I only bought 8 yards- enough of this fabulous print to make half a dozen burp clothes for the baby...
and enough of this to make a blanket set, just because it was too cute to walk out of the store without it! It is possible that it will never become a baby blanket just so that I can keep it I like it so much! Maybe one of the boys needs a pair of jungle pajama pants...
Well, with only 9 nights left to sew I better get back to my Christmas sewing or someones not going to get all their gifts!

those are adorable! love the prints.
ReplyDeletewhat measurements do you use for the burp cloths? I can't help buying fabric remnants with cute prints and have a LOT of flannel around!
ReplyDeleteAndrea- I don't use any exact measurements- I just dived up the fabric I have- These ones are 12"x15.5" finished. I sew two pieces right sides together leaving an opening to turn (1/2" seems). Then I turn, press and top stitch all around with a zig zag or other decorative stitch. I also put a ribbon loop in one corner- that way you can attach it to your stroller or car seat with those linking rings. Can't wait to see what you make!
