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:

cut and sew dress patterns

This textile design is inspired by the styles of the 1950's

Fashion in transition, patterns within lines and stripes.

My design elements move in graceful diagonal lines across the fabric, giving fluidity and movement to the dress.

The dress pattern is a classic vintage type.

Good for all body shapes.

The pattern has waist and bust darts, which is quite classic of the 1950's style. 

The gathered skirt is a full A Line giving a beautiful drape.

There is an in seam pocket on the side.  

I just love dresses with a handy pocket 

You can sew a full sleeve or short sleeve.

The cut and sew pattern is printed with all cutting lines and seam allowances.  All you need to do is cut and sew.

Detailed instructions in Pdf are provided.

Have fun, and don't forget to share you creation.  I would so love to see it.
