used all six of the blue prints for these six sided plush blocks these soft 4 blocks are great for snuggling tossing and stacking baby j is still too small for them but he will be playing with them in just a few short weeks and they make an adorable nursery decoration in the meantime the blocks sew up fast and easy and would make a really fun baby shower gift i just love these whimsical woodland creatures on the sides of these blocks some letters are a fun addition to the side of the blocks you can do a simple a b c or maybe spell out your little ones name want to make some plush blocks let

one side starting and stopping at the corner marks 1 2 from the edges make sure you back stitch at both ends to prevent your thread from unraveling press the seam open repeat those steps to sew a row of four squares together fold the row to sew the 2 end blocks together sew from the 1 2 marks about 1 leaving a 2 opening in the middle as shown below again make sure you back stitch at the start and

pounds 12 ounces he is the smallest and hairiest of all my babies and he is so snuggly he has been taking up most of my time lately but i did manage to squeeze in some sewing at the request of this sweet girl who needed a new dress for valentines day we have some springy weather around here and i can t wait to sew up some more dresses for this girl now if only the grass would hurry up and turn a springy green too em asked to go to the fabric store and she chose the fabrics and buttons for this dress i love her choices i used the emory dress pattern by izzy and ivy the same pattern i used for her sun dress last year with is still one of her favorites just a bit too short now the pattern has button loops on the back but i am not a big fan of button loops i find them tedious to sew and they never look quite right when i am done so i switched them out for regular button holes i drafted a pattern to make a matching dress for her dolly too she got this doll for christmas and loves when they can match my sewing time is a bit sparse while i figure out our new normal with three kiddos and most of my free time is spent snuggle my new little guy but hopefully you will see me around here a bit
