Have you ever bought an item that you were excited about at first only to see it disappear in the back of your wardrobe a few weeks later?

Super Easy Baby Blanket DIY

Katy Dee from Letter 11 recently printed custom fleece fabric with us to make comfy baby blanket for her little nephew and shared her creative process with us.  Get creative, make your own fleece blanket, its super easy!

You will need:

  • Custom printed fleece fabric, the beauty of this fabric is that you can make a blanket without using filling or backing fabric. One layer of fabric is enough to get comfy and snuggly. You can order your custom fabric here!
  • A sewing machine.
  • Bias Binding, you will need enough to go around the entire blanket. For this a 1.5m x 1m fleece blanket used just over 5m.
  • Dressmaking pins and scissors.

  1. Cut your custom fleece fabric to the size and shape you want, in tutorial the blanket is 1.5m by 1m which is big and snuggly! A square would also be cute.
  2. Find a spot around half way down the longest length of blanket to start pinning the bias. To pin you fold it naturally in half with the flaps on the inside and wrap it around the blanket pinning all 3 layers together like a sandwich. Carry on pinning the binding all the way to the corner. baby blanket DIY, custom baby blanket, design your own baby blanket, custom fleece fabric, blanket fabric
  3. Now it’s time to begin sewing…. Using running stitch and the colour thread of your choice, pop the blanket in under the machine foot and do a few back stitches first to secure the bias.  Then continue sewing on the inside edge of the binding and down towards the corner following and removing the pins as you sew….baby blanket DIY, custom baby blanket, custom fleece fabric, blanket fabric
  4. To wrap the bias binding around that corner nice and neatly, fold the corners down to create a diagonal fold and pin this into place. At this point, also pin the binding along the length towards the next corner. Sew slightly into the diagonal fold, stop to rotate the blanket so you can sew another side of the blanket bias and continue to sew all around the fleece blanket. baby blanket DIY, custom baby blanket, custom fleece fabric, blanket fabric, print your own fabric
  5. When you are nearly at the point where you began sewing, do a few backstitches and remove the blanket. Cut the binding neatly so there is just a 4-5 cm length left. Fold this in on itself and pin down into place creating a neat hidden pocket. Now you can pop the blanket back in and sew that last little bit up! Don’t forget to finish with a few backstitches for safety!baby blanket DIY, custom baby blanket, custom fleece fabric, blanket fabric, custom blanketKatyDee_baby_blanket_playful_print_fabric_design_colourful_hearts_rainbow_fleece
