DIY.. Fabric Covered Foam Blocks

in Baby, DIY Projects on 22/12/14

Blocks pile

I’m over at hello, Wonderful today sharing a tutorial on how to cover foam cubes with fabric.

I’ve wanted to make fabric blocks forever. My son is almost 3 years old and loves playing with a piece of foam I’ve had hanging around the house.  I often find him laying on his stomach and using it is a kick board.  He got really excited the other night when I started cutting the foam into cubes. Out came his dump truck and he piled the cubes into the bucket and ran around the room pretending to have a “big load”.

The colorful blocks have been a hit. With both father and son! Now, I just need to find time to make a few more…

Head on over to hello, Wonderful for the tutorial. I promise that by the time you are on to the 3rd block you will have the hang of it.

What I like about those blocks the most is that if you are precise with the cutting and sewing – they are square, sturdy and stack really well.. That’s it for today.

Happy Sewing.
