I've been super excited about sewing this week and today I finally made my way back to one of my favorite fabrics as of late, Monaluna's Bah Bah Black Sheep from the Taali collection. I sold the last burp cloth set that I made from this fabric back in February, so it's fun to have it back in the shop again.
I am currently in love with Monaluna's "Busy City" print from the "Taali" Collection. I was in love with the "Bah Bah Black Sheep" print, but now I just can't get over the cheery red accents and super cute design. This print has everything: puppies, birds, bikes, and scooters! The colors are vibrant and neutral. Overall, it's just fantastic. I paired busy city with the "Chevron" and "Posies" prints, also from the "Taali" collection for this burp cloth set. I haven't made anything for baby bear in a while. I was thinking I might make him a stroller blanket out of some of these prints. He could use a new, fresh blanket for when spring comes and we begin to take walks outside again.
Oh, I almost forgot to mention. This set of burp cloths is backed with an organic fleece from Green Textiles. This is the first time I have worked with this fleece and I have to say, "Oh my!". It's so soft. It has this great nappy, almost curly texture to it. The more I washed it, the softer it got. That's part of the reason I want to make bear a blanket. This would make a most awesome backing for a blanket.
I finally got the chance to make something out of Monaluna's "Bah Bah Black Sheep" print from the Taali collection. I was so excited about this print because it's clean and modern and totally gender neutral. Often it's difficult to find something gender neutral. Many fabrics are clearly intended for a boy or clearly intended for a girl. Even when I can find something in gender neutral colors (orange, green, yellow) there's often something about the motif of the print that seems too girly like flowers and as a mom of a little boy, I just can't see something with flowers being gender neutral, even if it's in neutral colors. Sheep, on the other hand, are completely gender neutral. And completely adorable.
