Hooray! I finally made something (besides a baby, that’s a pretty creative act)!
pocket/loop travel blanket for Abraham
I have several (like 50) projects bookmarked, many for baby, some for me or others, and I made this little blanket for Abraham. It turned out to be very cute, yet sophisticated (for a baby blanket…).
no, abraham is not reading Ibsen (his books are upstairs and i needed a stand in)
The tutorial is easy to follow if you want to make your own. It is basically a blanket with little pockets and loops around the edges. You can place books or whatever in the pockets and link toys to the loops. There are also velcro tabs that you can use to strangle Sophie the Giraffe.
We are traveling by plane to Pensacola in July to see the family, and I thought this would be handy to have to keep his things together. Practical, practical!
loopies!
PS – I used a baby blanket we had around the house for the back (it’s blue, I forgot to photograph it), 50% off fabric for the front of the blanket, and ribbon I had at home or bought with a coupon from the fabric store. So it was pretty thrifty too!
Abraham will be traveling in style! What a great blanket!
Thanks, Elizabeth! I’m looking forward to using it!
You are a crafty mama genius! Love it!
And I love you in the heart!
Awesome! I have a bunch of things bookmarked for Ruby too. Some of them won’t really be relevant to her for a few years but whatever!
Anna always wants to read Ibsen. I’m like ugh, not that again! Seriously! What about Teeth are not for Biting or something?
Kids these days…
