Baby Swaddle DIY | Lettuce Hem Tutorial

[@barbarahaynes4129]

Back in the 80’s I did this on the cuffs of sweatshirts! You don’t have to turn under anything…..sew easy!

Very cute and simple! Thank you for sharing!

[@CharlysMom]

Thank you so much! I’ve been trying to figure out the best way to finish my swaddle blankets and this is so adorable! It’s perfect

So glad found this. Sooo cute. Can’t wait to do this. Just brought some hobby lobby fabric today. Will be doing this tomorrow with a matching ruffle turban

Thank you! I’ve been searching for a tutorial that will teach me exactly this and how to do it.👍🏻😁

The 1 was your stitch length. The 3.5 was the stitch width.

How big should a swaddle blanket be?

[@arrielalexander2359]

Knit fabric naturally curls in on itself. So I’m just curious how necessary you think trimming off the excess (as mentioned at the very end) is?

[@annikas492]

Hiya. Did you backstitch beginning and end ?

[@gailrussell9104]

How big the stitch is called stitch width. How close the stitches are is called stitch length. The stretchiest edge is crosswise grain or width. The less stretchy side is lengthwise grain.

Does it have to be folded over or can it be done on the edge?

[@asmith1318]

what type of fabric is it?

[@blushblossoms677]

This fabric is a knit fabric that I got at Hobby Lobby. They have tons of cute different prints there!

[@lindao7887]

is that a double gauze fabric?

[@hannahb4478]

So cute! I’m 35 weeks pregnant and I want to make some of these for my baby. Where did you find this cute fabric?

[@blushblossoms677]

I got this print at hobby lobby. Good luck mama!

The Barnes Door thank you!

Wonderfullll

[@kristinagraves847]

What are the measurements for the fabric?

[@blushblossoms677]

It really just depends on how big you want the blanket. This cactus one didn't last very long. Once my baby was like 2 months it was way to small to swaddle her in. I got 1 yard of fabric times whatever the regular height is on the fabric. I would recommend doing a bit bigger though like 1.25 yards.

The Barnes Door thanks so much!
