Did you get gifted too many recieving blankets? Or has your baby grown out of needing them? Don't give them away!!! Most recieving blankets are made out of flannel, and flannel is perfect for tons of things. Play mats, burb cloths, taggys, bibs...the options are endless!!!! Here's a playmat I made for Blaine using a set of receiving blankets.....
I just had to buy material for the back of the playmat.
I whipped up a small little taggy for Blaine. (Hint: Cut up one of your plastic grocery bags and sew it inside so it makes that squishy, squishy sound that babies love.)
And look at all the material I still have left!!!!!!! I think I only used about half, maybe a little less, of each of the blankets.

Well you've turned in to quite the Suzie Home-maker haven't you?! Great idea!
ReplyDeleteToo cute! I think next year I will make learning to sew a New Year's resolution.
ReplyDeleteI love the grocery bag idea! I'd never have thought of it! Just remember not to wash it huh? :)
ReplyDeleteDanielle - You can wash it; I just wouldn't throw it in the dryer.
