Equipment
- Sewing machine
- Pins
- Sewing cheers
- Tape Measure
Ingredients
- 2 yards 52” wide double gauze fabric
- 3 yards crochet cotton lace trim
- Coordinating thread
Instructions
- Before cutting, make sure to wash and dry the fabric.
- Once it has been washed and dried, iron it flat.
- Mark and cut two square pieces of gauze with sewing sheers.
- Cut the crochet cotton lace trim into two 54” pieces.
- Lay the gauze fabric piece on a flat surface with right sides facing up.
- Pin the edge of the trim ⅜” from the edge of the fabric, right sides together.
- Do the same with the other piece of trim on the other side of the same gauze piece.
- Place the other piece of fabric on top of the trim piece, right sides together (wrong side facing up).
- With a ½” seam, sew all the way around the blanket leaving a 4” opening on one side of the blanket.
- Turn right side out by pulling the blanket through the hole created.
- Topstitch all the way around the blanket to finish it off, make the lace more secure, and to close up the 4” spot that was left open.
Notes
- Cut the blanket to the width of your fabric. If you have a 54" wide fabric than cut the sqaure 54". If it is only 50" wide, cut it 50" wide.
- If your gauze fabric was wider than 54″, you will need to add a little length to the trim. Make sure the lace trim is slightly longer than the width of your blanket pieces.
- Make sure to round the corners when sewing to make sure that the trim pieces are secured and the wrong edges are not sticking out beyond the seam.
