Can you see the problem with the NICU incubator blankets
I made yesterday?!
The first one I made (bottom) was too large. I corrected my math and the second one (top) was too small! By then I was in a panic! I started with a clean piece of paper and and looked at the blanket and found out what I was doing wrong! It was the double folded envelope hem. I needed to add only one width of the hem allowance not two because it was folded over itself. The one that was too small, I didn't add the seam allowance for both sides....just my brain and math having a slight disagreement!
The blue one is just right!
You can be sure I wrote all the directions so when I make the other two today, I won't have to invent the wheel again!
The fabrics are cute and I believe they (the hospital) will still use the odd blankets, I am sure hoping!
And I am glad I ended the studio time on a win
since I have more to make! lol
So cute! Anything that involves makes me panic anymore.
ReplyDeleteMath and brains - hahaha. cute fabrics and I'm sure the "wrong" sized blankets will be used and loved.
