SO A COUPLE MONTHS AGO I MADE A U OF L BLANKET FOR MY HUSBAND AND A STEELERS ONE FOR MY SISTER-IN-LAWS HUBBY...THEY ARE NO MORE THAN $20 AT WALMART..IN THE FABRIC SECTION.....THEY HAVE ALL DIFFERENT KINDS ..ONES FOR KIDS AND EVEN ADULTS...
HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED
1.3 YARDS OF THE FABRIC YOU CHOOSE..EXAMPLE-U OF L
2. THEN GET A SOLID COLOR FOR THE BACK ..3 YARDS OF THAT 2..EXAMPLE-WHITE
3.ALSO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SCISSORS AND PINS TO KEEPS THE BLANKETS TOGETHER.(I GOT THE ONES WITH COLORFUL TOPS SO THEY ARE EASY TO FIND IF YOU DROP)
4.AFTER YOU PUT THE PINS IN YOU CUT STRIPS(THEY SHOULD BE AT LEAST A HALF AN INCH BIG) ALL THE WAY AROUND AND DOUBLE TIE THEM...(I ONLY DO 3 AT A TIME)
5. YOU MAY HAVE EXTRA FABRIC..JUST CUT IT OFF!
6. ENJOY YOUR COSY BLANKET!!
I wondered how to make those. Thanks for sharing this. Now I know what I'm doing for Christmas presents.
ReplyDeleteI received two of these for a baby gift when Eli was first born (5 yrs ago). They make really great baby blankets. I've made a couple and keep saying I'm going to make one each for the kids...but I can never seem to find a good enough deal on the fleece...I'm going to have to splurge though because Gavin wants a Green Bay one.
