| A Taggie for Maggie |
I got the idea for this taggie from a couple of posts on sewforum.com. I used fleece for the center that I embroidered on and flannel for the borders and back. Since she was 9 pounds and was born on June 9th, I was able to use the 9 for 2 stats - I am hoping my niece likes it!!
The pillows were made with outdoor canvas from Joann's. The plain one were made from the method I described in an earlier post Decorator Pillows and the one with the sash I just added a rectangular tube of fabric and neatly sewed a button to the center after I added a pleat. I must add here that I just love sewing buttons on with my machine; I simply hate sewing buttons on by hand and with the sewing machine they are so much more secure. The pillow with the 4 buttons was just a strip of fabric that I finished both short ends; of course I sewed those 4 buttons on with my machine also.
Such a cute and clever gift idea! Your niece will adore the pillow to celebrate the arrival of her baby. You inspired me to make some decorator pillows with the "extra" fabric left over from stash. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy making your pillows - I always forget how easy it is to make then until someone asks me to make some. I make cute piloows for others but somehow never get around to making any for me!
