We had a great time visiting and sewing and it was her first sewing project!
If you’d like to make one too, here is how you do it.
You will need 2 yards of fabric. 1 for each side.
2 packages of double fold bias tape
Lay your fabrics on top of each other (right sides facing out) and then fold in half lengthwise, and then width wise. It should now look somewhat like a square. Using a bowl or round edge, trace the bottom right corner (opposite from the fold) along the edge to round the corners of the blanket. Cut.
When you open your fabric you should have 4 nice rounded corners.
Now all you need to do is finish the edging which requires sewing on your bias tape. The best tutorial that I have seen online is on Made. There is no reason for me to create another one for you so I will just link to Dana’s.
Once your bias tape is sewn in place your blanket is finished! It is so fun to see baby Uriah snuggled in his blanket at church. Such a rewarding feeling!
Oh, but we aren’t done yet. Were you wondering about those totally rad little shoes?

March 3, 2013 at 12:21 amThey turned out really cute! I wanted to mention, I learned from a lady at church (who is a great seamstress) that when making double sided blankets like this, you should turn each side opposite ways so that the stretch goes the opposite way on either side. I don’t know if my explanation makes sense. Anyway, she said they stretch and give better that way.
