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.
