Sew and Tell – Self Binding Baby Blankets

20 Jan

This week, I got to focus my sewing attention on 2 new little babies that were born to 2 separate families in recent weeks.

I love celebrating babies!

These 2 little girls are GREAT blessings to some parents who experienced the heartbreak of a miscarriage before experiencing the joy of a child. Unfortunately, I know that pain, too. So, it was with extra prayers of thanksgiving and praise that I stitched up these self-binding baby blankets. I followed this tutorial at Pink Suede Shoes. It is a great tutorial and an easy project. I just love how these simple blankets look when they are complete — and look at the beautiful corners.

I know that these 2 little girls are a joy to their families. I hope these blankets will be, too.

    They are so sweet! And I’m sure those baby girls will feel all the love that you stitched into them, too. :)

    Thank you for sharing your heart! I love celebrating babies, too – especially when, more and more, they are considered a burden in our society, rather than precious treasures from the Lord! The blankets are adorable. What a sweet gift. May God bless you for your kindness!

    I’ve never done a self binding that looked as good as yours. Ok, I only ever did it once but it looked so awful I never attempted it again. I’m going to check out the tutorial, thank you for posting it, it’s just what I need!

    Wow, those corners look great! The blankets are adorable. I especially love the animal print, I scored a remnant of that print in green. :)
