I have been noticing lately that my little kiddo has been bringing my hubby old raggedy blanket out with him every morning. Lately I have been thinking of making a throw blanket out of fabric since our apartment in the morning can be a little chilly and my kiddo like to curl up on the couch and read his books while mommy and daddy start our morning routine. It seems like out kiddos are morning people while my hubby and I are not so, I really don’t know how that happens. Maybe all children are morning people until they reach their teens I suppose, but that’s a story for another day.

I decided to make a through. I looked everywhere for a throw blanket that I would match my decor but nothing seemed to stand out to me and I decided to make my own. Do you want to know how to make a throw blanket out of fabric?

 

I took a little trip to the craft store and I found the perfect rustic dark fabric I wanted to use. Dark fabric seem to work best when you have little kiddos. I do have the rule were no food is allowed in the living room but something always seems to sneak by. I also got a soft fleece to go on the back of it of the fabric. I got reupholstering fabric which come in longer lengths.

I took it home and went to work on making a throw blanket. I stitched both fabric together and it was that simple.

Now I have a throw blanket that is stylish and kid friendly and don’t have to hide it every time I have company coming over for a visit. You know we all have that one thing that we always seem to hide right before company comes over. What is your little thing of shame? Hope you enjoyed my throw blanket.

Stay Crafty,
