While I still get my thoughts on everything organized, how about I share a different pattern each day? They will all be quick and easy for the average "beginner" seamstress, but may require you to sew a fabric that's new to you! Some may be patterns I have tried and love, others may be patterns I have yet to try but am itching to make! If it's a pattern that you have to pay for, trust me that it will be worth it!
For Day 1, I chose something that should be a fun sew and the end result offers a great way to stay warm! Today's pattern is a mermaid/fish tail blanket for children!
There are a lot of fresh, new patterns recently released for this style of children's blanket and they're fun for almost any child! The pattern I chose for this blanket is by Made For Mermaids, also known as M4M in the pattern/sewing world, and I chose them because I've used a couple of their patterns and think they are written very well, easy to follow and they provide great pictures during construction as well as after. I have yet to make mermaid tails for my girls, but it is on top of my long list of things to create!
This pattern is free for today only, so grab it while you can! One thing you have to keep in mind is that it calls for fleece, or a similar style knit, fabric. Any kind of knit can be difficult to sew with, mainly because of it stretching or rolling while sewing, so make sure you sew sloooow and use lots of pins or clips!! Feel free to contact me if you have ANY questions on sewing with knits and I'll help you out in any way I can!
How do you get this pattern? Go visit Made For Mermaids on Facebook look for their most recent post. They provide a link to the pattern as well as info on their Facebook group!
Another great thing about this pattern? They also have it sized down so you can make one for your child's doll!
