I mean it when I say that I am not the best at sewing. Short
story – I took Home Ec when I was in high school (1 semester) and we had to
make pajama pants. I sewed by pant legs together and they were several inches
too short. My mother can sew. I think in her heart she was deeply saddened by
the fact that I was terrible at sewing. I don’t like the quit though. I keep at
it and she gives me tips here and there. I had someone make my kids burp
clothes when they were babies. They were really cute. My kids also have strange
obsession for tags on toys. I really think that whoever designs stuffed toys
should rethink the location of where the tags are usually placed. Go ahead – go
look at a stuffed animal. Chances are the tag is located at the back end of the
toy (depending on what it is of course). Both of my kids have stuffed bears
that are their favorites. My son was a terrible thumb sucker. He HAD to have
the tag in the same hand of the thumb he was sucking. His favorite “baby
bear’s” tag was located on the bears butt. Picture this – your kid sucking his
thumb with a bear’s bottom on his nose. I hated it. My daughter also likes tags
but doesn’t suck her thumb so it isn’t as much of a problem. Regardless, I
decided to give them a blankie they could have WITH tags to keep them happy
also. Trust me when I say that these are EASY to make. They also make perfect
gifts with that special homemade touch.
- 2 fabric squares, any size (I usually find two patterns that match of the 18” squares – just make sure your squares are the same size
- 2-3 colors of 1” ribbon (I’ve used different textures with great results)
- Thread color of choice
- Sewing Machine – or needle if you have a lot of time on your hands!
