Trena's gift to her brother...

Trena is so excited for her little brother to arrive and wanted to make something for him, specifically a blanket. So together we decided to do a one sided flannel receiving blanket. It gets pretty hot here in the summer and with the baby being born in April I wanted to have a few light weight baby blankets on hand. First we washed and then ironed the fabric, she then cut the fabric to square it up.

Next she would roll up the edges 1/2" and then iron the sides to give it a crease and then rolled another 1/2" pinned it and ironed it again.

She then cut and mitered the corners so they wouldn't be so thick. And sewed the edges.



She sewed this all on her own and I was so proud of her. She did a great job for her first project and I know that she and her brother will treasure this blanket always.

Trena I am so proud of your hard work, you did a great job!
