AW: I made something decent!

This is the first thing I've made that I've actually been legitimately proud of, I think. It's a nap mat for Kellen for when he starts day care in a few weeks. There's zero chance Kellen naps on it unless they put it in a crib, but oh well.

Um, I would like to place an order.

It looks great!

Very cool! I love the action shot. Looks like he's napping peacefully!

It's super cute! You did a great job!

Thanks guys! It took way longer than it should have. I won't be making another one for like...ever. Haha.

That is fantastic! Amazing job! Did you embroider it and everything?

I did embroider it, but that's the easy part! I just press a button and my machine does the rest!

That is adorable! I bet I could maybe manage that. Where did you get the pattern?

I used this one as a guide:
https://prudentbaby.com/2010/08/baby-kid/diy-nap-matbed-roll-2/
But I tweaked it majorly because I couldn't find 60" wide fabric I liked. So mines shorter and wider and I added a small pillow instead of the way it says.

I'm sure you can manage it! I'm a novice and it was tricky, but if I can do it you can! The hard part was getting all the layers in between the bias tape. Major pain! If you make one let me know how it turns out!
