textured play mat for baby

I made this play mat for my 3 month old niece.


The idea was to combine a variety of textures to help her development. Don't ask me - it's what I was told to make by my her mother :-) Anyway, I made this project in no time - rather than fussing about it being perfect, I just got to work and finished it in a couple of hours. I sewed stretchy fleece to woven fabric without even flinching. No measuring nor planning, either. There's no binding, just a felt backing.


Please accept my usual apology for the really bad photos... 


If I ever sew such a diverse combination of fabric types again, I would probably underline them and maybe even baste before sewing.


Nevertheless, the recipients were very pleased with the gift!

I'm not so good at sewing different textured fabrics together. You've done a great job!!! It's a fabulous play mat for a little one.
