Baby blankets
Okay so these baby blankets are easy to make...they just take a whole lot of time.
I would be more than welling to teach someone how to get started on making one but I don't think I could hang around and wait for everyone to finish. With that said, I am also thinking about selling some of the blankets I make, so if you are interested please contact me and I will let you come over and check out my fabric and then make it for you for around $20 (depending on how much the fabric cost) plus shipping.
These baby blankets measure 30 by 40 inches.
Here is what you need:
40 inches of two different fleece fabric colors
(you typically can make two blankets with this much material)
matching yarn/string
needle to hand stitch
about 2 to 4 hours
