• Feb. 27, 2008 - The World's Softest Baby Blanket
Well it might not technically be the *world's softest*, but it is pretty cozy!
I saw the Chenille Backed Blanket Tutorial over at Craft Apple this past summer and was really excited when I finally got a chance to make one a couple of weeks ago.
I have to say that I give her tutorial 2 thumbs up! I'm a total sewing novice, but I was able to do this project (with just a little bit of help) in just a few hours.
You basically just sew a piece of flannel and a piece of chenille right sides together, flip it inside out, and then do a decorative stitch around the edge.
I've got to tell you a secret though -
One of my friends helped me and she had the most la- dee- da sewing machine that I've ever used.
Just take a look at this baby -
It's a Brother SE270D Computerized Sewing and Embroidery Machine. This baby loads the thread, threads the needle, cuts the thread when you're done, and even stops and goes at the push of a button. You don't even have to use the foot pedal!! How cool is that?!
I wasn't sure if I'd like that feature, but it actually helped me to keep a steady pace rather than my usual poky puppy/speed demon fluctuations.
It's quite a bit more expensive than my little starter machine, but with all those extra features it was definitely worth it. I even did a really cool blanket stitch all around the baby blanket with it. My little beginner Brother sewing machine is alright and everything, plenty sufficient for the little bit of sewing that I attempt, but using the la-dee-da machine made sewing this sweet little baby blanket even more fun!
