Hello everyone! I am again here and hopefully will have more time for my sewing. In last couple of months my life has been changed a lot. First of all I became a mother of wonderful and very cute daughter! Moreover, I have moved from Germany to France and busy with learning french. Meanwhile my daughter is two and half months old and started to play. So, I decided to make a play mat for her which she can use now and later. The mat is done as patchwork mat with a lot of 3D appliques, some of them produce sounds like crinkle. For this I used polyethylene or paper inside. The mat consists of 12 squares with appliques from different fabrics, like fleece, cotton, leather, satin, silk and fur. Finally, the total dimension of the mat is 130 x 130 cm.
The composition of the mat has a certain meaning. It represents of sky and ground and everything with can grow and live on Earth. So, my girl can not only play but also learn. For example there are stars and moon made from leather, or fur clouds in the blue sky, flying butterfly and of course the sun.
Another row contains the house where crinkly windows can be open. There is a snail, fleece mushroom and silky flowers.
It took me two weeks for create it and a lot of patience. Finally my sweet girl can play and she is happy!
