Reusing your
wedding day materials is important to me. It’s one day that we spend so much
time, effort, and money on and then…. It’s all over!
Have a
bridesmaid dress your friend promised you would totally wear again?!
Try using this
memento from the bride’s special occasion in a new time in the mama-to-be’s
life.
After the most
gorgeous wedding, I had no other use for a long black gown. Since I didn’t
think the color or fabric was a good choice for an entire blanket, I decided to
make my own monogram applique to give the blanket a special touch.
First, I printed
and cut out a letter to make my own monogram.
Then, I cut out
the letter using the bridesmaid dress as my fabric.
I stitched the
letter on cotton fabric using my sewing machine. Then I created my blanket.
*Tip: Fold and
iron the edges of the letter underneath to reduce the risk of the edges
becoming frayed.
Baby Bella is more loved than she knows!
Not a
seamstress? No Problem! Buy an iron on adhesive and use it on the back of the
letter. Use a premade cotton blanket and save time. Just as special with less
work!
