Do you need a baby gift or want to make something for your own little one? I've got a few go-to items for baby showers or mailing to a new mom or dad. This is part of my Learn to Sew in 2020 series featuring the Brother CS7000i sewing machine. We're making a simple baby blanket, bandana bibs, knit hats, baby booties, and burp cloths / unpaper towels. These gifts are for my friend Alison, who is expecting her first child with husband Lynn. Hoping to get them on the next episode to get their reaction!

I Love this!!! As a kind of novice these look so easy but professional looking. I suffer from a traumatic brain injury and so I had to find something I could do. So I am now sewing blankets for children in the cancer hospital near me as well as for foster children, also for animals in no kill shelters, and for elderly people in nursing homes. It’s a way for me to do something good for our community and the recipients love them. I don’t charge for them but I am setting up a 501c3 as well as a way to collect donations in the future. Your blankets, bibs, and hats are precious. Thank you for sharing your passion. ❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕👶👶🐶🐶👵👴

I have made many baby quilts 34 inch by 40 inch. I make them so you can have two quilts in one by sewing around the edge. I quilt on my machine, either by sewing around the animal or birds or by making meandering squares. It is easy and really loved by Moms. I take a picture of each one before wrapping them up.

Love this video! I'll be making booties and hats, to be sure. I've been making double-sided flannel baby blankets - with a hood in one corner - for decades! I use 1 1/2 yard of flannel. Square all sides, then put right sides together, match all sides. Then, turn up a corner on both fabrics about 16" - 18". Mark the angle with fabric marker, or just iron a crease. Cut a large 90 degree triangle (16" - 18"on the short side) out of each flannel fabric. Sew triangle right sides together leaving an opening to turn. Clip corners. Iron, then top stitch triangle. Place triangle in a corner of the larger pieces of flannel. Pin in place. Stitch around entire blanket, leaving room to turn. Back stitch at points of triangle to reinforce. Clip corners to reduce bulk. Turn, iron, top stitch. Top stitch another row 1/2" from first row. Helps to keep edges from rolling. Use the leftover flannel from cutting the triangle pieces for burp cloths, bandannas, bibs, etc. Makes a blanket large enough to wrap a toddler, and the hood makes a nice way to keep baby's head warm.

I honestly do not know what people’s obsession with making baby booties are. Yes they are cute but speaking as a mom of five they are pretty much useless. They do not stay on the feet socks work better. Knit hats are good though especially for newborns

I’m fairly new to sewing, using videos like these to learn! I had watched a few burp cloth tutorials before I found yours. I made the hour glass shaped ones. It’s interesting how many ways they can be made (flannel, cotton, 2 pieces of fabric, or 3, batting, interfacing, terry cloth, quilted or not quilted! I’m sure there are more, I will keep practicing and find the one I like best. Oh, about the glue. I heard Elmers Glue was good for sewing so I bought some of the glue sticks, did I get the wrong thing or can you use any Elmer’s glue?? Thanks for the video, fun projects!

@SewingReport 4 жыл бұрын

Quite honestly, with quilting cotton prints many are limited runs and can be hard to find after they've been out for a while. I try to sew from my stash most of the time, so the fabrics are *not* new. Listing them wouldn't do much good because they're likely not available anymore. If it helps, I did a video about coordinating fabrics. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iNCeoNiUqdu4e2Q.html

@SewingReport 3 жыл бұрын

You do need to use knit fabric for the booties, I don't think quilting cotton would work with the construction method. Burp cloth, I suppose you could add a layer but haven't tried that.

Thank you for such great videos and instructions. Question: I have a Brother SE600 and make weighted blankets so I use a walking foot regularly. I was told that I should not back stitch with the walking foot but I see you are doing it with no problems. My machine has an option that it does 3 fixed stitches rather than doing a backstitch. I just wonder if that is as effective as a backstitch.

Since there is a batting between the material, should it be tacked down or sewn down periodically to avoid breakdown of the batting after washing? Thanks so much for your thorough instructions.
