You might have seen this tutorial floating around blog land awhile back…. I hadn’t posted it here yet because it was a SECRET!!! Why a secret you ask?? Because I made these for my bridesmaid gifts for our wedding!!!
Pins
Next you’ll pin and trim your satin binding to the two width sides (the two shorter sides)… The binding will have a fold down the middle, simply line that fold up with the edge of your fabric, making sure it’s centered so there’s an even amount of binding on both sides…
Fold over the edges of the binding to make your four corners and pin those as well. You can either trim or fold the extra binding inside to make your corner.
Once you have the binding pinned onto both sides, get out the sewing machine. I used red thread to match the binding…
If you sew really well, you can use a varying color of thread for added pop!!!
I don’t so much… SO matching thread hides my inexperienced sewing skills.
(I’m a little addicted to zebra print… can you tell?!?)
Simply sew the binding to the fleece pulling pins as you go.
And TaDA!!!! A SUPER EASY fleece blanket made by you!
They make great baby gifts, or gifts for friends or family!!
And most especially, GREAT Bridesmaid gifts!!!
You can see… I made six of these blankets, then each blanket was rolled up and tucked inside a personalized tote bag for each of my lovely bridesmaids for my wedding a few weeks ago!
For the personalized tote tutorial, you can pop over here.
Have a lovely rest of the week!
Happy Sewing!!!!
