You can use a washable pen or disappearing ink pen to draw your own designs and they sew over them. You can draw whatever you like that way. You can you matching colors to sew or use something that will show on both sides.

Maybe that is what she meant. The width would just be whatever the width of the fabric on the roll is. That is usually the same. So when you go to the store: find the two fabrics you would like and get 1.5 yards of each. One will be the front, one will be the back. That will be what you need. You don't need to alter the width. I made these with 3 yards for extra long twin beds. They are the coziest blankets in the house! So you can do whatever length you like. :)
@seasons0123
4 жыл бұрын
I know this is old and you have probably figured this out but for others with the same question. The bolts that the fleece come on are pretty much the same. If you go to the store you will find a lot during fall. You only get the length cut and not the width. IF you want the width shorter you would cut that at home. And for the length you can do whatever you like. If you are making a lap blanket or a toddler blanket you would cut shorter. IF you are making it for someone who is taller then a normal bed then you would add as many inches as that person likes to sleep with. Such as my son.. he gets extra long material... if I remember. Otherwise if you want a twin you can use a twin bed measurement if you don't want any hanging over the bottom. But in the end you really can't screw it up... unless you cut it to short. And then you give as a gift. :0)

@higgalot1919

Leisa, If you don't have any designs or patterns as described above, it's something that quilters and seamstresses have been doing for years...simply google " embroidery tied quilt"... or " tied quilt techniques"...it's a simple and easy technique that helps to hold layers of fabric together if one doesn't have the time or patience to sew the individual patterns such as this youtuber did. You also can use yarn, embroidery floss, thin ribbon etc. or buttonhole twist thread to " tie" the fabrics at even intervals. Nancy Zieman from Sewing with Nancy has some tutorials,as do many quilters on youtube. Tying blankets and quilt layers together usually include a layer of batting..which was omitted in this particular blanket...but all of this is easy, basic stuff that involved using a large needle with an eye large enough to hold the embroidery floss etc. I know that I'm late replying ( 8 months),but the " cuddle minky" type fabric by Shannon fabrics is also a great baby blanket fabric..and they have tutorials on youtube too. I hope my post has helped you.There are many ways of doing literally hundreds of techniques in sewing...fleece type fabrics do stretch,so if you do this , be sure to sew with a ball point type needle.

I made a blanket with my mom once... it was not fleece. Two sheets and in the middle was wool. It was laid on 4 boads and tied to them to stay put (3 boards). Then the you would take a piece of yarn that matches and you would go through out the blanket in lines back and fourth and make a stitch about a handswith a part. Pull thread through and back up. Cut yarn both to be about 1-2 inches and not twice. Sounds a little like what TheSuperBondGilr is saying below except you would hide the stitch and tie in the back instead of the top.

Sorry to disappoint you girl, but since Erica, My wife, was around in the sixties, and her maiden name was Bond, She, for me at least, rightfully claims to have the title; Super Bond Girl here in the UK. And since your tee-shirt does not have a Union Jack on it, but a cockeyed version of the Union flag. (A Union Jack is only used in navel terms so it needs to be on a ship). The only reason why I suggest that your flag is cockeyed is that it's not the right way up, and I have serious doubt as whether you know which way it should go. lol On the other hand, a fantastic video, Since Erica is now, sadly an invalid, through having a stroke, I have to do all of the sewing and mending, and I am so enjoying it, it's so therapeutic!!! As of today, I am adopting you as my second in command Bond Girl, and since I have subscribed to your channel, don't let me down. I need all of the help that I can get. Keep up the good work.
