Stroller Blanket Perfect for Fall and Winter Weather


You can roll around all fall and through the winter with this special stroller blanket. Unlike other "stroller blankets" this one has a secret weapon: clips! Sewn right into the top corners of the blanket are sturdy but stylish clips that fasten the blanket securely to your stroller so it does not slip off and drag on the ground or get run over.

Your child will be so warm underneath thanks to the "furry" side of the blanket. The faux fur has a very short nap with a flocked design to add warmth. Only the best designer fabric is used. Shown here are a quartet from Tina Givens Treetop Fancy line for Westminster Fabrics. These browns, blues and lime greens are saturated with rich color and make moms of a boy happy to have some high style.
Here's a close up of the clip.

You can clip onto a seat in the car to serve as a lap blanket or clip it on and use it to securely cover an infant in their carrier. And you don't have to worry about it slipping off!

This stroller blanket is available in my Etsy Store. And can be combined with other lovely products in coordinating prints to make the most amazing baby shower gift. You will be the hit of the shower if you show up with this set (shown above).

New Burp Cloth Design at BabySaidSew.Etsy.com

You can find in our baby shop an original burp cloth design. I had simply "had it" with the off the shelf cloth diapers that most crafters are making their burp cloths out of. I wanted a more premium quality of diaper cloth. Something that would feel soft of baby's face and would look nice after washing.

So I bought premium diaper cloth by the yard and created my own design...
diaper cloth in two layers paired with two prints of premium fabric from top designers on each burp cloth. There is much more beautiful fabric to enjoy on these burp cloths. The edges are serged to prevent fray and the decorative fabric is top-stitched for a professional finished look. The result is a burp cloth that is more beautiful, more resistant to shrinkage and more functional!

I've kept them priced at only $10 a pair so that people can begin to try them out and see if they don't just love them so much more than the cloth diaper variety. Much more work has gone into these than simply sewing a strip of pretty fabric down the middle of a cloth diaper. I hope you'll visit our Etsy shop www.mommysaidsew.etsy.com to purchase some the next time you are someone you know has a baby. I've already sewn a ton for my own friends and family!!
