Around here - Sewing Diaries - Toddler TV Quilt & Picnic Pants Set

In this post I showed you the toddler pants and top I made for my nieces 3.5 year old and the baby shoes for the new baby.  Since I had left over fabric from the toddler picnic pants I figured why not make a little TV blanket for the 3.5 year old.  The pattern for the Picnic Pants is here.

For the Quilt I cut out 4.5 inch squares and sewed them together and then quilted either side of the seams both vertical and horizonal.  All I needed was the backing fabric which cost $4.00 and a binding fabric which cost $1.50 so not bad for $5.50 using the leftover toddler pants fabric.  The blanket ended up measuring 28 inches x 32 inches.  Anyone that does quilting or scrapbooking will know these crafts are measured in inches even though in Australia the metric system started in 1970's.

Finished Quilt 28" x 32" [71cm x 81cm]

Another Picnic Pants set I made and paired it with a little
$2.25 T-shirt from Kmart which I sewed on the little heart
