A very dear friend of mine is expecting a little girl in March and I would love, love, love to make a baby blanket/quilt. When I was little my Blankie {Yup, I went there.} was my most prized possession. It was cozy and had a satin trim that I was in love with. I would love to make something just as special for Baby S.
Now, I’m not talking all quilty with patches and all. That’s a little beyond my skills at the moment. I’m definitely thinking cozy and I would like to add a satin trim. I of course consulted Pinterest for my research and found a couple ideas.
Doesn’t this blanket from HowDoes She just look so stinking cozy?
The tutorial seems easy enough. I’ve never used minky fabric before but I can sew a darn good straight line.
I found this tutorial for sewing a satin edge on Instructables.
Makes me a little nervous since I have never sewn with satin and my machine refuses to do a zig zag stitch. She’s moody. Oh, and flames are involved. I don’t do fire.
What do you think? Can I do it? Any tips for me?
