I've made a lot of these "taggy" blankets for various babies lately, and being the ribbon-aholic that I am, and not being able to throw away even the littlest offcut, I found these blankies a great way of putting the odd leftovers to good use. For the uninitiated, "taggy" blankets were apparently invented by some clever person who made note of the fact that given any toy to play with, babies seem to always go for the manufacturer's tag to suck on or play with, disregarding the actual toy in most cases. "Taggies" is the brand name of these toys and they are usually quite small, more like a "security blanket/scrap", but I like making them a bit bigger so that they can be used as a cover for baby in a carseat or pram/stroller/buggy, as well as being a kind of toy.
Welcome, and thanks for visiting. I have to keep my creative juices flowing, so these are some of my creations!
