turns out, i love dyeing stuff! we did t-shirts for grown ups, t-shirts for kids, onesies, socks & pretty much every white cotton fabric item we could find.
i had the brilliant idea to buy some white flannel & dye it to make a baby blanket for a girlfriend of mine who is expecting her first in a couple weeks. i had wanted to sew her a quilt, but my time & motivation is running low & i know i can make a cute flannel blankie with much less effort that still looks good & is nice & soft & cozy. so here are my 2 options:
and :
think either of these is good enough to use for a gift? (obviously the finished blankie will be lined, bound & edged.) emmie keeps carrying these around, so whichever we don't use for a gift i'll use to make a blankie for her. or are these not cool enough to give some one? should i try, try again?
i like the blue one best (though i am just not a fan of pink in general) and think either (maybe with a onsie thrown in too!) would be lovely gifts.
ReplyDeleteway cool gift idea!! But then,I love tie dye :)
ReplyDeletewhat a neat idea! Flannel is so cozy ... and something kids can use into their teenage years! :)
ReplyDeletethanks guys! on reflection, altho i like the blue better, i decided that this particular friend would really want pink, pink, & more pink for her little girl, so i'm re-dyeing the pink. (it's in my washing machine right now-- we're trying a new "dye it in the wash" method, that hopefully won't suck.) i'll post pics when i get it done :)
ReplyDeleteOooh yes! Those are awesome. Definitely would make good gifts.
