BABY BUNTING/BLANKET

Baby Bunting/Blanket

When I purchased my Viking 1+, it included a brochure with directions for a wonderful little bunting/blanket. I have made this many times through the years for gifts and everyone that received it loved it.

I recently made another one for my grandchildren's hope chest and wanted to post it to my website, but I just knew I would have requests for the instructions. I changed the original instructions by adding decorated piping and using the decorative buttonholes from Customizing's Shapes.

But, the original instructions weren't mine, so I asked Viking if they would please put the instructions on their website for all to enjoy. I am happy to announce that Sue Hausmann has contacted me.

"Regarding your request for the Kite Tail Bunting pattern, thank you for the request. This has continued to be a very popular project through the years. The idea came originally from a Husqvarna Viking store owner and wonderful teacher from California, Linda Brush. We had it in Art of Sewing Book 3 (long ago out of print) and in the brochure you received.

We will post the new and updated instructions including a buttonhole for the safety belt and a 'doll size' version for the 'big' sister or brother's doll when the new baby comes on the America Sews website. Look for it after September 1 or at the latest after October 1 at www.americasews.com

I love your idea of sewing the decorative buttonholes from Customizing!

Thank you again for contacting us.

Happy Sewing!!
Sue Hausmann"
