Polka Dots for Baby

I love these fun and stylish polka dot blocks and burp cloths! They make such a wonderful gift for a new baby and every time I make a set of blocks or burp cloths with this Amy Butler fabric I have so much fun! The colors are so bright and cheerful and just knowing that they will soon be in the small hands (or mouth) of a special little one brings me joy. The fabric is 100% cotton and I use high quality fiberfill or eco-friendly bamboo fiberfill to stuff them and include a few ribbon tags along the seams for baby to tug on. I currently keep a hefty stock of these 6 colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue and pink and hope that Amy Butler never decides to discontinue this fabric!!

(1) Set of 6 small polka dot cloth play blocks
(2) Polka dot burp cloths can be purchased in a set of 2 by selecting 2 colors of your choice.
(3) Set of 6 polka dot burp cloths

The small polka dot cloth play blocks can also be purchased in a set of 3 or 4 by selecting the colors of your choice.

Want to make your baby gift extra special? ... In addition to purchasing some blocks and burp cloths from Knitstyle, I would suggest buying a set of 2 coordinating spotty elephant onesies from Tadpolecreations. Your gift will be complete and the envy of all the moms!

Cloth Play Blocks

Hello all! I have recently introduced a new product to my Etsy shop. These cloth play blocks come in a variety of fabrics, patterns, colors and sizes and are lots of fun for baby to play with. Since joining the Etsy I have seen some absolutely beautiful fabrics and some amazing items made with these fabrics. I decided I wanted to pull out my mom's old Singer Featherweight sewing machine and learn to sew again. It is a very simple machine but I absolutely love it and it is perfect for me! I made my first play block for my adorable niece Sydney, who is now 4 months old. She instantly loved her block and I knew I had to make more! The SYDNEY block is constructed using Heather Bailey fabric - you can find them posted in my shop, Knitstyle by MMC. I soon had my first custom order to make a set of 3 blocks sizes small, medium and large in Heather Bailey fabric. Lucky for me, my buyer is a professional photographer and she took amazing photos of the blocks she ordered (click the photo at the top of this post for more photos). You can also view her work here: heatherwagnerphotography
I am currently working on another custom order of 3 orders of the set of 3 block (small, medium, large). I have finished 2 of these sets and am so happy with the way they came out. I currently have 1 final block to construct before completing the order and can't wait to share this set with you too! These blocks will be going to a great Etsy Buyer who has been a pleasure to work with.
Here are my standard sizes:

Small: 3"x3"
Medium: 4-1/2"x4-1/2"
Large: 6-1/2"x6-1/2"

I am happy to do custom orders so please feel free to contact me with your interest!
