I haven't sewn anything is a while, but now that my due date is approaching I have been thinking of lots of baby girl sewing projects. The trouble is finding the quiet time to make them, but this taggie blanket is super quick and easy to make! It would make a great handmade baby gift.
Supplies:
-Two 16" squares of fabric
(I used two different colors and patterns of minky fabric
that I bought locally from Create Your Own Joy Studio)

-16 to 20 5" longs pieces of ribbon (I chose 3 different colors and sizes)
-Scissors
-Pins
-Sewing Machine
-Thread
First place your 16" square pieces of fabric with the right sides facing each other.
Next cut 16-20 pieces of ribbon each 5" long.
Begin folding the ribbon in half to create the tags for the blanket.
Tuck the ribbon with the folded edge inside the two pieces of fabric, leaving some of the other side sticking out. Pin each ribbon into place.
Once all of the ribbons are pinned into place you can sew along the edges. When I passed over each of the ribbons I sewed back over then 3 times to make sure they held in place. Also make sure to leave a small opening in between two of the ribbons so that you can turn the blanket the right side out when you are done sewing.
Once the blanket is turned right side out it should look something like this. Now you can sew up the small hole either by hand or with your sewing machine. Then you are done!
