I kept thinking I needed to blog about the present I made for Helen's 1st birthday but in all the busyness I kept forgetting.  Here it is!  I took a 24"x17" piece of flannel and a piece of silky fabric (content unknown, lol) of the same size and attached a ton of ribbons to the sides.  I used up quite a few of my small "useless" pieces of ribbon this way.  I folded the ribbons in half and basted them to one piece and then sewed the whole thing together right sides together leaving a small opening for turning.  I used a slip stitch to close the opening, washed and dried it and presented it to Helen.  It would make a wonderful new baby gift!  I'm putting it on my list of possibilities.  Here are some pictures.

Here's a view of both sides:

Here's a picture of the whole thing laid out flat.
