Good morning! Our weekend was jam-packed with fun, and\u00a0although I don’t have a whole lot to show for it (unless you count the dark circles under my eyes from trying to shift my schedule for Daylight Savings), I did make these sweet double-gauze blankets for a friend’s baby shower, just in time for the event on Sunday. Fabric design has come a long way since K was a tiny tot. I was amazed by the choices available here\u00a0(love these birdies), but I got these gender neutral fabrics that are perfect for swaddle blankets from here, and a yard and a half made for a very generous-sized baby wrapper for each design. I probably could have gotten away with just a yard. I’m a pro at mitered corners now (this is a good reference video), and I love how soothing it is to sew these. Not much\u00a0thought is required as it’s a lot of pressing and sewing straight lines —\u00a0I get to zone out in a blissed out sort of way.
