I made this blanket for a recent gift exchange. I liked it a lot and eventually may make one for home. It was so easy. Cut, pin, sew! There was a 30 minute hiccup with my sewing machine but generally went smoothly.
You'll need:
1 yard of minky fabric
1 1/2 yards of designed fabric
Color appropriate thread and two bobbins worth of the same color.
The fabric I bought was perfect and I didn't have to cut but once. You want your minky fabric to be 4 inches shorter in length and height than the designed fabric. I folded the designed fabric in to barely touch the minky fabric and then folded it again to cover the minky fabric. This will give you 3 layers to sew together. Do this and pin as you go. Sew along the middle of the fold and again closer to the seem.
These look darling and couldn't be easier. I will be making 3 more as christmas gifts. Throw questions in the comment area and I'll do my best to help you along.
Ps the excess fabric makes a great little toddler scarf!
