For my friend's daughter's first birthday, I made little soft blocks and a pouch for storage.
pay no attention to the beer drinking, laptoping husband in the background...
A close up shot of the seams for the pouch.
It's entirely made of recycled fabric. The upholstery shop, next to the playplace where we hang out, periodically gives away older fabric swatch books. I found enough coordinated pieces to make this pouch.
Full of baby blocks. I used 3 inch squares of fabrics mostly acquired from thrift shops.
And the velcro enclosure was left over from a birthday crown I'd made my son last year.
The entire project was basically recycled. The only thing new was the thread, and I already had that on hand. I think I'll do more recycled projects in the future. I have books of fabric swatches after all.
close up of the stippling. my second attempt. Still having issues with thread tension.
A nice stack of blocks. There were 18 in all, just the right amount to fill up the pouch.
