So I walked in Jo Ann's the other day to look for orange fleece, to be exact. I needed something for babies for Halloween. WELL- they were having a huge sale on all kinds of fabrics- fleece being one of them. So I bought my orange (and even got a red for Christmas) and then found a Dora print. It was SO cute! Kensley is crazy about Dora lately- it's a little over the top, I'd say. :) But that's ok. So I the bright idea to make one of those tie blankets- no sew! I got a yard of Dora fabric and a yard of yellow for the back. I knew I didn't want to make really big, so I cut the fabric in half and was just going to make two- one for Kensley, one for Kallie. While I was making it, I texted Whitney a picture and she said she wanted me to make one for Hailey! (Hailey is also crazy over Dora!) SO- instead of giving the second one to Kallie (which really has no use for it anyways) we're going to mail it to miss Hailey Grace tomorrow! I hope she likes it :)
Here are some pictures:
This was before I got started. Now keep in mind, I had NO directions. And I probably did it wrong. But that's ok- the blankets still turned out cute!
Making progress....
And the finished product!
So there you have it :) Kensley is still down for her nap, but I'm sure she'll be thrilled when she wakes up to find her new Dora blanket!
**It cost right under $10 for fabric and it only took me about 30 minutes to make it!
