Memories

Haven't we all got special baby clothes bagged up in our airing cupboards and lofts? All those lovely things our babies wore, we know we should probably pass them on to someone else but just looking through them stirs up memories. 

The first outfit, that gorgeous romper suit grandma bought ..........

Well time to get them out and make something fabulous, a real personal family heirloom.

I made this double sided quilted blanket for a lovely mama who had bags of old baby clothes aka bags of baby memories.

It started like this 

Then became like this

(Choosing all the best bits)

Then cutting them all into squares 

A fair bit of this ouch scissors left surprisingly painful blisters.

But encouraged me to get a new best friend 

Lots of sewing later and voila 

A warm snugly blanket with a story to tell in each square.

Feel better about hoarding your little ones little outfits, one day you may make something with them - or you can go to www.gooddollymissmolly.com and find out how I can make one for you.
