Instructions
Step 1:
Sew together the top of the blanket using .25” seams, pressing each seam as needed to the darker fabric.
Step 2:
Once the top is complete, lay it flat and right side up on top of the backing fabric. Smooth out any wrinkles and pin the two pieces together.
Step 3:
Sew the two layers together using a straight or decorative stitch across the blanket, removing all of your pins as you go.
Step 4:
Lay the blanket right-side up and fold over the overlapping backside to create your binding which will be about .5”. Pin as you go.
Step 5:
Beginning at one corner, sew a decorative stitch all the way around your blanket, tucking in any raw edges.
Step 6:
Iron your blanket and go enjoy the outdoors!
