This video is 5 years old, but still the best video I've found. Thank you so much!

Thanks for a great tutorial... for those concerned about the "crinkle" and/or plastic, just leave it out. Someone said not to wash minky, I have no idea why not. I've washed it in other projects without a problem. Used it in quilts with no problem. Thanks

Hi Nicole, t a milk bag is what you used in the taggie blanket.. I use the bag that is inside the cereal boxes it is very crinkly baby loves the sound.. :)

These are so cute! You can use the inside bag of cereal as well. Obviously, you’ll wNt to wash it first but it work great.

I love the way you give instructions..You have things ready .and get to it ..I love people who do this instrad of talking to everyone..Wonderful job..

Great tutorial! Geez people! Taggies have been around for many years! Everything is sewn down & around!

Umm, totally fine! LOL! You have the sweetest voice and speak clearly so don't worry!

Thanks for the tutorial! I made one for the first time and it turned out beautifully!

Great instructions, clear and to the point, super cute blanket. I'm making an Arizona State University Sun Devil tag blanket for a baby boy I watch in my home and I'm so excited! Unfortunately I have to do it all by hand stitching but it'll be worth it :)

Thanks, great tutorial. I love the textured pink fabric!

Hi Nicole, thank you for a wonderful video! Great instructions and clarity! Making one for a neighbors new grandson.

Thanks a lot for a great tutorial! You explain really well and the camera job is perfect! 🌸🌸

Thank you so much for this lovely tutorial. I made two for my cousins baby ❤ You did and amazing job.

Hi Nicole yes here in Ontario Canada our milk comes in a bag with three 1 litre bags in it. I have used the outer bag of the milk for taggie blankets :)

This is a lovely video 💕 I'm going to make it tonight. Thank you 💛

Thank you! My grands love it!

Great directions, thanks! Just made one and it came out very nicely!

You said "um" exactly 70 times in this video. Yes i counted. And you gave great clear instructions. Keep it up.

I stumbled into this video today. Thank you for the idea. I have a 2 week old great grandson and he has a problem with his thumbs. He is not using them. His parents have to try and get him to grab onto things, he may even need a small operation on the skin between thumb and finger. I'm thinking this could be an aid in his physiotherapy. Thank you. I'm in Australia.

So question - what foot do you use to sew these? I made my first 2 today and my first attempt sewing the pieces together did not do well. Had to get the sewn ripper out. I changed to my walking foot and that helped but still had to seam rip once more. So curious what foot you use? Ty

Great video thanks for sharing 🙂

Thank you just made one for my baby :)

I’m planning to try with oven bags which would be heat resistant

Do you accept orders?

Where do you get milk bags? What kind of ribbon do you use? Is it grosgrain or satin?

Hi there. I ended up using a long arm machine and I stippled the entire thing pretty much, I outlined some of the larger applique pieces but otherwise just added in quilting around and inbetween the applique. Thank you for watching my videos!

I am wondering how to wash it! Hang to dry? My biggest question is can the baby suffocate on the plastic milk bag inside? (Maybe they roll on to it - face first?) I'm not trying to be a troll, just asking! I do love how it came out, you did a great job! TFS (I am a 7th decade great grandmother that worries too much!) 💕

Hi there. I recommend Washing in cold water and hanging to dry. And also putting it inside a mesh laundry bag so the little loops don't snag on anything else in the wash. I'd recommend only giving this to a baby to play with while they're being watched by an adult. I'd never let them have it unattended or while they're sleeping in their crib. 😊

Hi there. You cannot put this in the dryer. Aside from the use of the milk bag, you shouldn't put minky fabric in the dryer, or ribbon. It all washes nicely, with cold water, but just lay flat or hang to dry :)

@QuiltersWorkshop

You can purchase materials online that are "toy crinkle fabrics" and created for this type of thing. Milk bags are something that I'm using as an alternative, as it is cost effective and essentially preventing milk bags from ending up in the garbage! :) So far milk bags have worked the best (I have tried plastic shopping bags but the plastic is not quite heavy enough to make a nice "crinkle" sound) Perhaps the plastic from a cereal bag would be heavy enough? Although I have not actually tried it.

@QuiltersWorkshop

7 жыл бұрын

Hi there! A taggy blanket/crinkle toy is a sensory toy/comfort blanket. It's for babies to explore various textures, colours and fabrics with their hands. It's similar to a "quiet time" book, if you have seen those before. Something to quietly entertain them. :) They make great shower gifts or additions to gift baskets!

You would want to inspect it often as with all items you give to a baby/child to play with. That being said, with all the extra precautions such as sewing the edges/ribbon three times like she did you really shouldn’t have a problem.
