I am in love with minky and flannel fabrics... Most use these as blankets for new babies, I however make blankets for everyone with these materials....
I made my grandma one last year for christmas and she LOVES it!
The first one pictured below (2 Pictures) I made for Nora for Christmas this year.... She has just started watching Strawberry shortcake and I seen this on sale a long time ago so I already had the flannel... I just did a yard of flannel and a yard of minky but minky stretches differently so a yard goes a little longer. anyway I am horrible when I sew, I never pin anything I just go with it.... For whatever reason I love a seam ripper lol.... but these blankets I just go where the fabric takes me so it takes about 20 min. on a 1 yard blanket and for the 2 yard blankets a little over 30 minutes.... only because my table is so small and the fabric has no place to go...
I found this bright reindeer flannel last christmas and never did anything with it so I made myself a christmas present for this year! I'm super excited about it! it snuggles perfectly... I will be giving myself this gift in the next couple days when the highs will be in the 50s!
NOTE: When you make these sew them inside out leaving "hole" about 6 inches so you can pull it through then sew the rest up.... the seams are a lot nicer this way!
