Tackle It Tuesday

3rd June 2008

posted in sewing |

I’m progressing in the sewing of fleece blankets that I’m planning on selling at our booth in July. I was able to use my serger a week or so ago and finished the edges. This is a photo of one of the blankets as it’s being run through the serger.

Yesterday I spent time sewing the lace and trim to the edges of the blankets. This red one is now finished and the blue one is also finished, I added fleece binding to it instead of lace, I think it looks more boyish that way!

I have two more fleece blankets that are almost done. I am going to do the machine embroidery on them today and then they will be finished. Then I will be back to sewing a few fabric purses and bags.

I’m working hard to have a productive sewing week, which also means I am having to spend less time at the computer. That’s not an easy thing for me since I am totally addicted to my computer! I am still checking in though and will reply to all comments eventually!

These fleece blankets looks sooooo soft. I like the lace and trim edges you have put around each of them. I particularly like the red hearts trim edges

Marie - Thanks! I found the red fleece on clearance, it was from Valentine’s day. I then happened upon the red heart trim in the same shopping trip, I knew it was meant to be!

Thanks Kim! I like to stock up on the super soft fleece when it’s on sale. I have more to cut, but I need to buy trim for those, so they’re on hold right now.

Great tackle! I received a sewing machine a few years ago from Santa and I barely have had enough time to even try it out. You’ve inspired me!

These fleece blankets are looks so cute and simple. Well, I am willing to try to sew but maybe with my own materials and combination of colors. Thanks for sharing.

Sometimes you find great materials that work well together, in the most unexpected places!
