I know a cute little baby girl who is just learning to grasp items with her hands. I am sure that she is going to love this Take-Me-Along Tabbie Blanket. It is small and can easily be taken with her wherever she goes.
For the body of the blanket, I used two pieces of 11" x 11" fabric, a decorative fabric for the front and a soft flannel for the back. I cut twenty-four tabbies from scrap pieces of coordinating fabric, each initially measuring 1-1/2" x 4". Each tabbie was folded and sewn before being attached to the body of the take-me-along.
The tabbies were evenly spaced and pinned around all 4 sides of the take-me-along. Each piece was then sewn securely to the body of the blanket for a total of 6 times so as not to become loose and pose a choking hazard.
A sweet Take-Me-Along Tabbie Blanket for a sweet little girl.
Have a wonderful day.
Aloha!

I don't remember exactly which site I read this on, or when, but I know it was on a site for people in the business of selling crafts. I read that an individual, or very small company, filed a patent for the loop part of that little blankie; she/they didn't invent it of course, but were able to take out a patent because no one else had. There was much discussion about how someone could take out a patent on the loop sewn into the blanket. In my opinion it is the same tag that is sewn on clothes for size or laundering insturctions. So I know this doesn't make sense, but because I was thinking of making and selling these, I am sure it is what I read. Sorry I don't remember all the facts, but if anyone reading this is thinking of selling these, you might want to check it out first.
