New additions!

For me, part of the fun part of doing this is looking around for fabrics and new patterns. Everyone has a different taste and idea of what they want, but something bright and fun or sweet for the babies is always a good option.
To order your baby blanket in these patterns, let me know a little in advance! They will need a little time to arrive, but they're worth it. :)

Girly Girl

I love Amy Butler fabrics! I finally got a request for baby girl...so I took the opportunity to make one with Amy Butler's designs. (although it's not part of the assortment below), but I'll work on getting some.

My idea of girly girl is this wall flower print. Hope the lil one will like it! :)

Minky vs Fleece fabric

Babies have alot more luxury these days. When I decided to make these, I wanted to make sure I had the softest material so they will feel not only warm, but comfortable, and still look fashionable for both baby and mommy.

Most of the time, I use a material called Minky. Minky has gotten alot more popularity in the recent years. It is a 100 % polyester soft microfiber fabric - 100% polyester. It has a more luxurious look and feel to it. Trust me, it has a feel of cashmere, and it is still as warm as fleece. I have always ordered my minky from the States, because I just couldn't seem to find the quality here. Maybe I'm not looking in the right places.

Sometimes, I use micro chamois fleece. It is also 100% polyester. It is basically a silkier and smoother micro fleece that is just as cuddly.

Both Minky and fleece do not shrink when washed. However I always prewash them before I sew. :)

Enjoy them!!
