Fun Fri~ Quick Lined Fleece Baby Blanket

 

 

 

If you keep some super soft minky fleece on hand,

as well as a soft fabric such as Seersucker,

then you can make up a baby blanket in no time.

 

This was a yard of minky fleece,

with a piece of soft Seersucker cut to match.

Place right sides together and 

stitched 5/8 inch around edge,

leaving an opening to turn inside out.

I used a walking foot type device,

and had no problem making the minky behave.

 

Once turned inside out,

use your favorite method to

pull out the seam.

Instead of using an iron,

finger press out the seam.

I like to pull out the seam with the point of a pin

as I stitch.

Stitch length was 3.0. 

 

In no time you are done!

 

Because of the top stitching around the edge,

no quilting is needed.

I've known one child to carry his minky

until well, 

he didn't want to be seen in public with it.

Have a Fun Friday making one of these.

Tip: Watch for sales of this fabric.

Compare the price to make them to premade.

This week this fabric is on sale for $5.39.

(I'm not sponsored, so sorry, I'm won't be sharing where I bought this.)

The Searsucker fabric I had bought

 in a large $35 bag of fabric on marketplace.

So this blanket costs

me about $6?

That's still under the cheapest $10 blanket I found online.

********

My stash is what it is

because I either

paid a low low price

or

it was kindly given to me.

I'm very blessed.
