    So many things I love about this. I love that you made it your own. You pour so much into your family. Truly Tom is a blessed man to have such a talented wife. Honestly, you never cease to amaze me. I watch every video several times in case I miss something. All 5 of my kids can’t wait for baby Hannah.

    Watching this now is so sad, but little Hannah has this video to show her one of the ways her mama loved her so. I have a grandson coming soon and I knew that Andrea would have a good tutorial on something I could make him.

    So exciting I love making my babies things when in the womb and picturing little baby in it😍❤️😍 you are so blessed to live by your own standards and not by other people’s your truly living the life. It’s truly beautiful when you can live without fear and disappointment all the time . I think more people would have large families if they lived according to their hearts and not fears. Love love love the blanket too so cozy especially when little Hannah gets to snuggle up in it😊

    My favorite baby blankets I made from flannel exactly the same as you make your fleece. My girls still use as car lap blankets the ones I received as a gift from a friend who sewed large rickrack in the seam when she sewed the two fabrics together.

  • @mireckca
    @mireckca 6 років тому +2

    What a special blanket for a precious baby girl! I would like to try this myself and have one question - when you do the final stitching all around, are you sewing far from the edge so that you are going through 2 layers of fabric, or closer to the edge so that you are going through 4 layers (created by the previous stitching all around)?

    • @TheMillsFamilyVlog
      @TheMillsFamilyVlog  6 років тому

      Mostly it's just because I like the way it looks, but it's also easier to sew if you're only going through two layers rather than 4.

    @wendimercer7910 2 роки тому

    any tips on what todo to keep the2 pieces of fabric from seperating from each other like in the washing machine? I have made bigger blankets with both fleece and plush fleece like you used here. I also used a satin binding ribbon the the edges as well. but can't seem to figure out how to keep them flat with the other. Also i am currently trying to use a very stretchy polyester fabric i believe with the plush fleece and the stretchy fabric is moving to much even when i use clips and pins. any suggestions??

    • @TheMillsFamilyVlog
      @TheMillsFamilyVlog  2 роки тому +1

      Andrea passed away 3 years ago, but I can tell you that she sewed little spots around the center of the blanket that keeps it all together. It is now like 4 years old and countless washes and stays together fine! Hopefully that's some help to you.

    I have a question about the sewing machine, the light looks blue in color, is it LED? My sewing machine is about 12 years old so it has the old incandescent bulb. Also wondering if the blue color affects how clearly you can see what you"re doing?

    • @TheMillsFamilyVlog
      @TheMillsFamilyVlog  6 років тому

      It's just a plain white light, but it does seem to show up as blue on video. I think maybe it's because of the machine being black, but I'm not sure.
