There is zilch sweeter than a homemade gift for yous or your novel baby! When my miss was born (over a yr agone – eek!), I was overwhelmed alongside the fourth dimension together with show that people pose into their gifts for her! So I’m paying it forward, together with making these homemade pump taggie blankets equally my get-go of many homemade gifts for other lilliputian ones.

With Valentine ’s Day speedily approaching, I knew a heart-shaped blankie would hold upward a cracking gift stance to highlight the holiday, simply would equally good hold upward cute together with feminine.

Start yesteryear printing this template:

Heart Taggie Blanket

Materials:

One Minky fabric

One soft flannel fabric

Fabric pen or pencil

Variety of ribbons

Needles

Coordinating thread

Sewing machine

I know equally presently equally I saw this beautiful pump minky textile from Pick Your Plum that I would hold upward making something beautiful alongside it!

To start, impress the higher upward template together with cutting out the “half-heart”. Use this template to describe the pump kind onto each of the 2 fabrics, using a textile pen or pencil [Sorry! My textile pen is hence faint inwards the picture!]. I did this yesteryear get-go tracing a straight line of piece of occupation (using a ruler) equally the centre of my heart, together with hence lining upward the template on either side of the line, together with tracing the outline.

Next yous desire to cutting out your textile hearts. I cutting approx. 1/2 “ away from the line of piece of occupation on each pump hence that I would convey a seam allowance (later yous volition sew together demand on that pump outline).

Next, line of piece of occupation upward the textile hearts hence that the “good” sides are together.

Then pattern where yous desire your ribbons to go. Cut each ribbon into a 5″ slice (you desire your tags to hold upward well-nigh 2″ each).

I chose coordinating ribbons together with colours for Valentine’s Day. I equally good ordered them inwards a pattern, simply yous tin produce whatever yous like! I left approx. an inch betwixt each ribbon, together with pinned all of the ribbons inwards place.

Sew the pump along the lines yous traced originally, leaving a gap at the bottom to draw the within of the pump through. Then cutting off whatever excess textile approximately the edges.

Pull the pump right-side out through your opening, together with hence sew together along the edges i time again. I had a very pocket-size seam allowance. This time, yous tin sew together all the means around, including closing the opening yous had previously left.

And that’s it! Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 beautiful gift for a novel baby!!

My miss LOVED her taggie blanket SO much! I cannot await to orbit these to some to a greater extent than lilliputian girls that volition LOVE them equally good :)
