ready for rainy day sewing


While awaiting the arrival of the Kaffe Fassette fabric (ooh pins and needles) I’ve gather some fun flannels and Minky to make noisy lovies for the 2 up and coming baby showers.
 
This bit of yumminess if for Cherish whose shower is on the 20th of this month.  Since I know she’s a she I thought lime backing would be dandy with the pink with frogs and blue with turtles.  I’ll be putting a squeaker in one corner and a rattle in the other and a few sheets of cellophane in the middle for some crinkle.
 
This bright eye catcher is for the shower on the 23rd of June for a baby whose sex hasn’t been let out of the bag yet…figured orange; bugs and bright purple will fit either version of human… I’ll be putting a squeaker in one corner and a rattle in the other and a few sheets of cellophane in the middle for some crinkle.
 
Bought a thread burner to melt the ends of the ribbons all professional like…I’ll leave one loop on each lovie to add a plastic ring so these lovies can be hooked onto a car seat, stroller or what ever…
 
This is Olivia’s noisy lovie…I didn’t have any cellophane at the time so it’s not quite as noisy as it could be and she loves the crinkle noise…
Finished they are 18 inches square not counting the ribbons and prairie points poking out…flannel on one side and Minky on the other so the wee ones get the total tactile and sound entertainment in on soft package…
