Travel/mini-blanket

For a toddler obsessed with tags on blankets.

It's about 12" square, perfect for the car. Or just grabbing and chewing.

First completed project on new machine

As a first post, I thought I should introduce my sewing machine.

Meet the Brother SE400:

And now for my first finished project from that machine (there have been a few projects started, and a lot of monkeying around with different features and settings).... This is a book/magazine sling.  I followed the tutorial from here , but made the sling narrower since it is going on a short wall.  The final sling will have dowels and a custom made double curtain rod to "attach" it to the wall.

Fabric is Curlicues by Michael Miller, purchased from a local quilt/fabric store.
