I had to repair some trousers for NYE and loved having my sewing machine out again. I wished quietly I had a reason to sew. Then to my amazement a week later my friend asked me to make a memory blanket for her little boy.
She gave me a bag of superman t-shirts and I set to cutting up the use able ones.
As he is a little boy there were tons of blue shirts so I decided on 3 rows of blue interrupted by 1 red and 1 green.
Despite using a template to cut the blocks, the t-shirts didn't line up perfectly which is a true annoyance to me but alas I wasn't unpicking all the panels that I had only just put together.
I then whizzed the backs of the shirts into the same sized panel and joined the front and back together.
My back hurts from cutting and sewing and I have a blister from my scissors so I should probably be careful with what I wish for but I have truly loved making it.
Who wants the next one?xx
