Pretty Purse

I was feeling ambitious after I made a few baby blankies and felt like going for something a little more "involved," so I went with a ruffled purse design I found on a cool blog. My first attempt (below) went pretty well, but there are definitely things I will improve on with my next purse. Mainly the measuring...measure twice, cut once. Isn't that how it is supposed to go?

More Baby Blankets

With a few babies joining our extended family, I wanted to make some more super soft baby blankets as gifts. I made one "taggie" edge blankie and one edged with ric rac. I found some great fabrics and of course use the ultra soft minky dots on the reverse side.
