Her nickname was Sweet Pea from the second my husband found out we were having a baby. If it was a girl, her nickname was going to be Sweet Pea, the end. So of course when I saw this Sweet Pea flannel at Jo-Ann’s I had to buy it. Along with 2 yards of embroidered Sweet Pea fleece that I have no clue what I’m going to do with yet.
I considered using the flannel for the car seat cover, but changed my mind and decided that it was too thin for winter and made a blanket instead with this chenile I had in my stash.

I really wanted to use satin blanket binding on this, but for some reason it wasn’t in the cards. After ripping the binding out three times I decided that it wasn’t worth the annoyance and that top stitching would be just as fine.
And look, my little sweet pea doesn’t even care.
Your little sweet pea is just beautiful! Congratulations! And she is certainly enjoying her new blanket. My grandchildren always enjoyed the feel of satin, so instead of blanket binding I simply added a band of 1.5 inch double face satin ribbon around the edges of the top layer before putting the two layers together.
