I've been wanting to upload this post but had to wait until the baby shower was over! Now I haven't sewed anything of value since that apron in the 3rd grade thanks to Mrs. Buttice and my 4H Club! But, I got the idea in my mind to make my good friend a baby blanket for her upcoming baby shower. I found inspiration from this "Play Date Blankie" and got to work. Unfortunately there was math involved as the pattern was for a much smaller blanket. After a few recalculations I was on track. After that it was a lot of pinning and trying to sew in a straight line. Some seams were more of a success than others. I even got my little nephew to help, which was the best part of all! There was a little moment of concern when I realized I don't even own an iron and needed to iron down the seams. But, luckily for me, my curling iron worked just fine.
Overall, I am pretty dang happy with the finished product!
So wait... you own a sewing machine, but not an iron?
