I’d like to have a new sewing project completed each month of 2013. I’ve already done one, a sort of table skirt-looking thing (sorry, no photos). It seems like everyone I know is having a baby, so I got some minky fabric and I’m making baby blankets.

They are minky with a cotton backing. That particular combo is rumored to be tricky, so I am pinning every inch on the sides and using my walking foot. It took me half an hour to figure out how to get the walking foot on appropriately. Hopefully it will help with the fabric, though. The color is sort of turquoise, which I hope will be fine for both boys and girls.
