After the headbands, I wanted to do more sewing!! I found a new way to use up my flannel, baby burp cloths! These are faster than the
Flannel Eater blankets, but use less of my stash. There are a ton of tutorials online for the patterns but I found measurements from
this Simply Designing pattern and then modified it a little. As long as my serging doesn't go crooked, they go super fast and only one tail to finish...otherwise they get a little special...
 |
| The silver stars are glittery, but they should soften up more with each wash |
The pattern is very simple and you could probably do it with a normal sewing machine and either a zig-zag or faux serger stitch, but the serger makes it sooo much faster!
 |
| My sketch lines, but I ended up just folding the paper in half and cutting it out to get a symmetrical shape. |
I even did a fun second print on the back - there are so many options for these since I have a HUGE flannel stash!!
I can't do just one thing, so last night I was also running my embroidery machine at the same time...now that they are all on the same side of the table, it's pretty nice! I don't quite have room for all 3 (sewing machine, serger and embroidery machine) and projects, but I'm getting it figured out!
 |
| Still so much to organize, but I need a break! |
Current Projects:
Baby knit fabric headbands Made 3, now to send them off and see if they work!- Flannel Burp Cloths - Super fast and easy project, need to make a few more!

Current Crochet Projects:

Tail/bikini left.Just needs
some face details, and maybe a swimsuit to wear when she's not in her
tail...bikini sort of works...made up my own pattern and it's
interesting...
- Chunky Unicorn Blanket - almost finished up to the hood, then just ears, horn, and fringe!
- Figuring out C2C (corner to corner) crochet with some random scarfie
yarn...ran out of yarn before I finished! Now to decide if I frog back
with yarn that hates being undone, or buy another skein if I can find
it...
- Started the Mermaid tail towel, hopefully will come together fast since it using a giant hook and thick yarn.
- Started working on cowls for the fall because they are mindless and
fast...but I really should totally finish them, not leave them with
tails and button-less...
