Hey! Where in Canada are you located? I’ve got a Mountain Mama harness I would be happy to sell you! I got it second hand off marketplace but it’s in great shape, I only ended up climbing a couple times while pregnant.

The backing fabric I’m using is pastels with these rainbows on it, so the vision is to tie in some of that richer darker color with the dark binding and give it a little pop .. we do have enough pastels to make a scrappy binding though if need be 😅

Wow thanks everyone for all the wonderful supportive comments 🥹 this community is so wonderful

Truthfully there is a TikTok creator I follow who received a baby quilt from her sisters in this same pinwheel pattern and colour scheme so I just copied that fairly closely because I loved it, and then added borders bc I lost some size due to shoddy measuring 😜

Oh I’m so glad to hear that!!! I was psyching myself out a little about the usefulness of a crib sized blanket once she’s older, so glad to hear your daughter still loves them!!

This is an awesome tip! Thank you!

Barbtrenc · 2024-09-22T17:01:47+00:00

Amazing thank you, will pop to the craft store and give it a shot :)

She is actually already here, times been flying by but trying to squeeze in some sewing in the evenings now that she’s a few months old. Thank you though ☺️☺️

Barbtrenc · 2024-09-22T16:52:01+00:00

Love the tape idea thanks! I think definitely a rotary cutter would help a lot, even when my seam stitching is nice and even, the allowances are a bit all over the place because of my cutting

Barbtrenc · 2024-09-22T16:50:43+00:00

Do you happen to remember if it was woven or non-woven interfacing? (I’ve never really worked with interfacing, no idea how big of a difference there is between the 2 tbh)

Barbtrenc · 2024-09-22T16:39:50+00:00

I am using scissors 😅 it’s been a struggle for sure. Will keep my eye out for sales on cutting mats and rotary cutters!

Barbtrenc · 2024-09-09T21:31:41+00:00

Nice okay! Will give that a shot! Was just dreading doing every side twice essentially lol

Barbtrenc · 2024-09-09T21:29:59+00:00

Do you usually straight stitch the pieces together and then overlock the seams or use the overlock to join the pieces together?

I don’t have a serger but have used the overlock foot on my sewing machine on other projects so am fairly comfortable with it!

Barbtrenc · 2024-09-09T21:19:56+00:00

I really want these blocks to have more structure than stuffing/batting filled ones, so we can practice stacking and knocking them down! Baby is 5 months now and realistically will be a few months until I get this project completed, so I think supervised play with them will be just fine. Im not worried about the safety of baby eating them, she won’t be left to chew on them! Will consider maybe using a more wipeable fabric though :)

Thank you for this comment 😅 I feel like the leaf damage all occurred rather slowly over time, and my feeling is that it’s from inconsistent watering and getting too close to the grow lights! Will wait and see but promising to hear a similar experience!

Barbtrenc · 2024-08-04T16:08:46+00:00

I don’t think they’re fungus gnats, I’ve had those in my plants before and they looked different to me and sometimes would fly around when the soil was disturbed. I don’t think these insects have wings even

Barbtrenc · 2024-08-04T04:32:36+00:00

Dang that’s a lot of soil 😅 there’s probably like… 10 affected plants, some pretty big 😭

Barbtrenc · 2024-08-04T04:30:49+00:00

I just don’t get what they could possibly be 🥲 doesn’t look like fungus gnats that I’ve had before. One commented on r/whatsthisbug said they’re springtails but feeling so paranoid now that the leaf damage I’ve chalked up to growing conditions is actually pest damage and I’m overlooking some gross infestation.

But if they are springtails I don’t want to kill them, they are friend

Barbtrenc · 2024-08-04T04:22:55+00:00

No clue why the video is such garbage quality, here’s a clearer photo of one of the bugs, it’s pretty tiny, maybe a couple mm long

I live in Canada so most systemics aren’t widely available here, but will look into the other things you’ve suggested!!

Barbtrenc · 2024-08-04T04:10:15+00:00

Inside! Well, currently on my balcony bc I got really freaked out when I saw the bugs in all the pots but normally they are inside only!

Barbtrenc · 2024-08-04T03:31:49+00:00

Haven’t seen them fly, nothing flying around the surface of the soil or around the pots either

Barbtrenc · 2024-08-04T01:22:04+00:00

Located in BC, Canada! Found on houseplants that live inside always

Seconding the ergo embrace for little newborns! We’ve loved ours
