I haven't been up to much sewing lately, but I did manage to make these two swaddling blankets from lengths of flannel I had in my stash. It's just a single layer of flannel, with the edges folded under 1/2" twice and stitched down. I made mitred corners for neatness. They ended up being about 38" square. I had several like these that I used with Edmund, and I really liked them for their versatility -- swaddling, nursing cover, floor mat, etc.!
Lord willing, one of these blankets will be put to good use in our family next May! ;-)
I'm a 31-year-old Christian. My hope is to live a quiet life filled with home and hearth, family and friends, loveliness and simplicity. I'm wife to Douglas (married October 2008) and mother to Edmund (born November 2009), Lavinia (born May 2012), and Rosamund (born February 2014).

Oh Laura, how exciting! Many, many congratulations to you, Douglas, and little Edmund! What a sweet and clever way to announce your happy news on your blog :-)
ReplyDeleteThe swaddling blankets are just charming -- I used that same blue polka dot flannel to make our Little Man's crib sheets, actually.
I hope and pray that you have a safe (and enjoyable!) pregnancy! Congratulations!
Love,

ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!
ReplyDeleteLaura, these swaddling blankets are just beautiful!! I have missed you of late and hope we won't be strangers. I love the peace and joy which I feel when I am with you. I just loved you the first time I met you at the Brookshire's home, and little Edmund, was such an obedient and earnest young 'man'! May you, Douglas, and Edmund thrive in the Lord as well as this new little one you carry!
