How to Make a No Sew Fleece Blanket
Next time you look through our selection of Polar Fleece, think about this.
With just a few supplies you can make your very own No Sew Fleece Blanket in a matter of minutes. Not only is it easy but it costs about half the price as something you would purchase in a store.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Scissors or Rotary Cutter
- Straight edge
- Minimum of one yard of fleece fabric
Before you begin your blanket, consider what size you want it to be. Most fleece is 60″ wide. If you want a child sized blanket or a small throw for your feet one yard is perfect. If you’d rather have a square blanket, you’ll need to purchase 1 5/8 yards of fabric. If you’re making a blanket to wrap yourself up in or for a large person we suggest 2 – 2 1/2 yards of length.
Here’s all you need to do to make your No Sew Fleece Blanket.
Lay your fleece fabric out on a table as flat as possible. If your using a rotary cutter make sure you use a rotary cutter mat underneath your cutting area. Now cut off the selvage on each side of the fabrics edge. The selvage is the edge that runs along the entire bottom of the fabric when it is wrapped around the bolt. Selvages on woven fabrics are to keep them from raveling or fraying. Manufacturers often use the selvage during the printing process to help identify the fabric and assure the colors are correct.
That’s pretty much it!
