Sew easy Throw Blankets

These really are so easy to sew.

The ideal fabric I would recommend is Minky, Fleece or Celosia Velevt

1 yard in Minky will give you a generous blanket 36 inches by 54 inches

Minky has a soft napped finish

1 Yard of Fleece will give you a blanket size 36 inches by 56 inches, 

you will need to line the blanket, as fleece is thinner than Minky and velvet and has a slight stretch, But this give you an opportunity to make a two sided blanket. perhaps you could use a coordinating pattern for the back.  see bellow my collection of coordinating prints and patterns.

Coordinating patterns 

1 Yard of Celosia velvet will give you a blanket 36 inches by 54 inches.

Celosia is a velvet fabric with a short pile (hair) and a subtle shimmer.  A blanket in this fabric, is definitely luxurious.

to sew the edges, simply hand roll the edge and put a hem stitch round it. 

Alternatively if sewing and hemming is not your thing, then Roostery sew it for you:
