My sister is having a baby in August and really liked these
loveys but thought they were too expensive to be able to buy them for her little one. I told her that if she bought the fabric, I would make them for her. She picked Alexander Henry's Juicy Jungle with pink Minkee Dot for the back and hot pink sateen binding. I was really nervous about these as it wasn't a gift that I made because I wanted to, but I was commissioned to make them. I was worried that they would not hold up to the standard of a bought and paid for blankie. After practicing 4 times, I thought I was ready to make the ones for baby Paige. I made three loveys approximately 15 inches square. I fussy cut the fabric to focus on different animals: the elephant, the hippo, and the tiger (my favorite).
Here are the results:



(Yes the pictures of the tiger loveys were taken at a different time and place than the other two.)


I love the pictures of two of the loveys folded up so beautifully!


These are the results of one of the projects I have been working on and was able to finish on Saturday. I finished two of them. They really don't take much time to make, but I was so nervous about them that I fussed over them for long than was necessary to make sure everything was perfect.
Those are SO cute!!
ReplyDeleteI must say that you did an excellent job and they are just as good or better quality than the ones I have bought.
