Danny likes to be covered up to his chin when he falls asleep and needed some sort of "summer weight" blanket to replace the extremely way too hot wool one he's been using. I recently inherited a cotton gauze swaddling blanket which reminded me of this blanket tutorial and this fabric dyeing tutorial (from the same blog... http://www.danamadeit.com/). So I made some larger ones, one for each boy. They picked their own colors, Danny picked...
Pink of course! Matthew picked this light light blue...
And Joe picked "Royal Blue" mostly I think because it had the word "royal" in it. Dyeing the cotton gauze was exciting and super simple. I did all three colors in about an hour in my kitchen sink...
My usual "who gives a damn" technique...
Here's Danny trying his out for nap...
It works!
(See... Right up to the chin.)
Now I can retire this guy for the season (several months late)...
