I was very lucky to get a sewing machine. It's a lovely one and a thing of beauty. Having had a go on one at a sewing cafe, I longed to get one. Because it was also my 40th, Dave got it for me.
I've had a go at a few things, decorated a blanket for my nephew and Leah asked me to make her one.
I used a fleece blanket from Ikea, I don't think it cost anymore than £5.
I used my Big Shot die cutter to cut out the letters in fabric backed with Bondaweb.
And them ironed her name on,
then stitched around her name.
Edged the blanket with different stitches.
The stitching around the letters will take a few more goes to perfect but it's something she absolutely loves and just in time for the coming cold snap.
