FO - Driving Me Sane Portable Play Mat™

Hannah loves cars & trucks and at our house we have a playmat with streets and signs she loves to use. With that in mind I thought.. wouldn't it be cool to make one that can be taken to someones house easily and maybe double as a playmat or blanket to picnic on or just a cozy throw to take to the park while the babies are playing?

Then, like magic, PurlSoho sent out their e newsletter and the cutest fabric was inside! Streets and cars and signs - oh my! With a little bit of searching I found the cutest coordinating stripe fabric and voila! and order was placed. It took a bit of time to figure it out, but I knew I wanted certain things... lightweight, mobile, machine washable, easy to carry & FUN! Bring out the sketchbook... the ideas are flowing!

Here is the final product... I added a grosgrain ribbon to tie it up and left it nice and long so it can be knotted and slung over your shoulder for easy carrying. Hannah loved it and Im MORE than happy with the results. YAY!!

A playmat for Hannah

How adorable is this fabric? Since my latest decision to not pursue new wholesale accounts and focus only on my current and the retail end of things (due to a huge POP - yay!) Our home and Hannah have become the newest focus of my creativity and this fabric just screams Playmat! I love the orange and the cars. Hannah's new passion is cars and trains. Choo choo - All Aboard! is a common phrase throughout the house. :)

What size though? Since its fabric it can be rolled, and I want ther to have as much room as her imagination will let her at 2 years old.

Once again, PurlSoho is an inspiration!
