Here are some mini minky bunny taggie blankies (try saying that 6 times, fast) I sewed this evening. They are destined for the Rainbow Comfort Packs project and hopefully will be suitable for a baby or very young child.
These small comforters were very quick and simple to put together. Comprising two fat-quarters each, they sandwich some satiny ribbon tags along the edges. I used Beatrix Potter cotton prints for one side and Minky dot fabric for the reverse.
I loved making these ... almost entirely for the joy of working with the minky fabric. I have been looking for an excuse to buy some for ages. It must surely be the most cuddly, silky soft fabric that you could find anywhere.

I find myself drawn to it; wanting to touch it. The lure is even greater than that of bubble wrap. But that is another story entirely.
They are absolutely gorgeous... I would find comfort in those let alone a baby!
ReplyDeleteWhat sweet little blankets! I am sure they will be loved by their new little owners.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, I bet these will be well-loved. That minky fabric looks awesome, very tactile. Nice work toots.
ReplyDeletethey look so lovely and cuddly. Did you find the minky hard to work with?
ReplyDeleteThese look adorable, but I am a bit perplexed as to what the tags are for?
ReplyDeleteAh ... they are there because babies love, love, LOVE tags!
ReplyDeleteDon't they look gorgeous!?! I'm sure they will be much loved, rolled about on, and tags pulled - lovingly, of course - by their new baby owners.
ReplyDeleteOh I don't think I have seen anything like this.... Ohhh hope I see something like this at the AQC. I might also visit Lincraft in the city and see if I can see yummy fabric there : o )
ReplyDeleteOooer, slinky minky! Better than bubble wrap, you say?
