3 Step Blanket

Me and My Brother are having a dandy time creating.  So far we're getting pretty good with the whole 3 step blanket (or burpcloth).  I showed a few of my creations in a few posts ago (see here), but I realized I didn't explain the very simple process. Here goes...


Start with 3 pieces (2 cotton flannel pieces and 1 warm & natural liner) or 2 pieces if you don't need warmth or are using Cuddle (cuddle counts as one piece of cotton flannel and the warm & natural liner).  You can basically make them any size you want, just make sure all are the same size.


STEP 1:
Layer the following way on a flat surface... Warm & Natural, cotton flannel with wrong side touching Warm & Natural, second piece of cotton flannel with printed side touching other printed side of 1st piece of cotton flannel.  PIN. PIN. PIN.


STEP 2:
Sew both long sides and one short side.  On second short side keep an opening in the middle so you can turn fabric inside out.  If you are working with a blanket make sure the opening is a foot.  If you are doing a burpcloth you only need like six inches.


STEP 3:
Turn inside out. Pull fabric through the opening.  Make sure once fabric is all turned out (so it actually looks like a blanket) to be sure to press out the corners so they are as close to being square as possible.  Now SEW a border around entire blanket.  I usually sew in 1/2 inch.  Close opening by hand with a running stitch.


EASY PEASY. If I can do it you can do it.
