How To Make Baby Fleece Blanket

Things You Will Need

Appliqué Template

Micro Fleece Fabric in Contrasting Colors

Straight Pins

Tailor's Chalk

Thin Cardboard

Method

Trace an appliqué design on a thin cardboard and cut it out. Go for simple designs, especially if you are a beginner.

Trace the design on the fabric using tailor's chalk and cardboard pattern and cut out appliqués leaving about ¼ inch of extra cloth from the outline for seam allowance and border.

Stitch the micro-fleece fabric together to form the blanket.

Pin the appliqué to the fabric for the blanket.

Attach the appliqué using over lock stitch, zigzag stitch or straight stitch along its entire perimeter.

Put the two pieces of fabric in such a way that appliquéd sides face each other.

Pin the sides together and sew leaving a ¼ inch seam around the entire perimeter.

Leave about 4-inch opening on one side and turn the blanket right side out from it.

Do not iron the blanket as the fleece may melt. Therefore, just press the edges flat with your fingers.

Stitch the opening shut.

Create a 2-inch flange border from the edge using zigzag or over lock stitch.
