BABY BLANKETS and BURP CLOTHES.
Cheryl will be teaching you how to CUT and SEW your blankets and 2 burp clothes. These will be the great sized ones, real swaddlers: square 43" size.
SUPPLIES NEEDED:
1.5 yards of flannel fabric (pre-washed* and ironed)
1.5 yards of coordinating print or solid color flannel fabric (pre-washed* and ironed)
Thread - one spool - choose one that will match the dominant color in your fabric. i always pull out the thread from the spool and lay it on my fabric to see how it looks since sometimes the color of the thread all together on the spool is different from how it looks as a stitch. choose a good general purpose thread - polyester is good for most fabrics.
Your basic sewing supplies:
Machine
Machine manual
Scissors
Tape measure
Straight pins
Seam ripper
Hand sewing needle
Cutting board - the cardboard fold-up kind (optional, but helpful)

Iron (optional, hopefully we can share)
Ironing board (optional, but helpful)
Fabric marker or chalk (optional)
*Tip for pre-washing fabric: Launder your fabric as you would the finished project. Oftentimes the laundering instructions will be right on the bolt of fabric in the store if you are unsure.
I found this darling flannel fabric collection online. Not sure if it would come in time. Just thought it was so cute!
Claire Bella Flannel - good price too!
Later in April, Cheryl will be teaching how to sew a crochet edge onto blankets and burp clothes.
