If you're like me, sewing straight lines pretty much sums up your sewing skills. When I got the invitation to my friend Bonnie's baby shower, I knew I wanted to make her something.
I started googling "easy baby blanket" ideas,
and I found this gem:
Simple Flannel Baby Blanket Tutorial.
It just takes two 1-yard pieces of flannel, sewn together like when you make a pillow.
(Sew inside out, leave a hole so you can turn it right-side out again, then sew all around the edge again.)
Click the link for a better explanation,
and step by step pictures.
My one tip is to not let the sewing machine get
away from you.
(I have this habit of letting it go too fast so my seam allowance gets messed up.) Just take it slow!
In the end, you get a light-weight blanket that is a lot more practical than a super thick quilt.
