#WWback2best A Monthly Make 2011 baby Crafts for adults handmade sewing

A monthly make – february

How is it March already? I’m slightly late in posting my February monthly make but it is something rather special:

a lovely dinosaur blanket for Edward’s first birthday.

I found the pattern in an old issue of Sew Hip magazine and used a vintage blanket and Amy Butler fabric. The finished blanket is slightly smaller than the original pattern as I wanted to make it for his cot. I’ve embroidered the bottom edge with his name and the date of his first birthday and hopefully he’ll treasure it.

    That is so amazing!

    I love the way you’ve used the pattern in the fabric for the dinosaurs.

    What a beautiful heirloom for him to treasure forever!
