Stroller Blanket

This is a super easy project, great for a beginner sewer. The rounded edges give the blanket a more finished look - simple details can really make a difference!

Skill level: Beginner 

​Partly made from 100% organic cotton

---

​Materials:

• Jersey or fleece or broad cloth (I used 100% organic cotton jersey)
• Minky fabric
• Thread
• Paper
• Fabric pencil

How to Guide:
 
Measure up

• Jersey fabric:
  • 30” x 40” for the front of the blanket
• Minky fabric:
  • 30” x 40” for the back of the blanket

 
Lay and cut it out

• Lay out the jersey fabric on a hard smooth surface, right side down.
• Measure and mark 30” x 40”.
• Cut it out.

 
Minky, minky

• Lay out the minky fabric on a hard smooth surface, right side up.
• Measure and mark 30” x 40”.
• Cut it out.

 
Paper cuts

• Using the corner of your paper, trace a rounded edge.

• Cut it out.

 
On Edge

• Lay out the jersey fabric on a hard smooth surface, right side down.

• Place the rounded edge on the corner of your jersey fabric about 0.5” from either edge of the salvage. 

Mark it

• Trace along your paper edge.

• Repeat for all four corners of your jersey.

Pin together

• Lay out the minky fabric on a hard smooth surface, right side up.
• Place your jersey on top, right side down.

• Line up the edges and pin.

 
*Tip: be sure to line up the edges and not try to smooth out the jersey over the minky, otherwise you will end up with a shrunken top layer.

​Sew, sew

• Sew 0.5” along the edge and follow the rounded line you drew.

• Leave a small opening.

Fold out

• Flip your blanket right side out using the unsewn opening.
• Press, press, press!
• Pin the opening closed

• Stitch opening shut.

Bundle that babe up and go for a stroll!
