SEW A MEMORY BLANKET | Beginner Friendly Toddler Quilt Tutorial

[@julierosa7932]

Thank you, thank you. I have watched many many videos and was confused until I watched yours. I am now excited to start my first quilt.

[@Ericahague]

I watched this video a few weeks ago & it is by far the best…….Thank you. My granddaughter is turning 1 on 10th Nov & I wanted to make her something special. I have never made a keepsake blanket before…..only bears. So I started it yesterday, mine isn’t as big, it’s only 5 squares wide by 6 squares down but it’ll be perfect for her. I’ve now just got to do the back bit & sew the border. I came back to your video to double check on how to do it. I will now be able to complete it later. Thank you so much for such a fab tutorial 😊

Thank you so much this was the clearest and easiest tutorial wish you all the best

[@sarahjanewhite2967]

Love it! Best thing I’ve bought for quilts is adhesive spray. No shifting between the 3 layers! I also use polar fleece, great cheap hack.

[@MyMumMakes]

Good tip! Does the adhesive spray wash out or stay in?

[@sarahjanewhite2967]

@@MyMumMakes stays in. You can use thin or thick coats. It’s especially good if you’re going to quilt something.

[@MyMumMakes]

@@sarahjanewhite2967 quilting still intimidates me!

[@sarahjanewhite2967]

@@MyMumMakes try the ‘stitch in the ditch’ method. With a walking foot it’s not as hard as you’d think. You’ve made harder things!!

[@MyMumMakes]

@@sarahjanewhite2967 I have been thinking I need to get a walking foot actually. It seems to be the answer to a lot of sewing problems

[@craftingwithcharm7665]

Love it! I’m so going to make one for my grandson!🥰

[@angelamcgovern1525]

I take a picture of placement as well, I also interface any stretchy fabric. Your quilt is gorgeous xx

[@MyMumMakes]

That's a good idea to interface the stretchy fabric! I wish I thought of that, the stretch patches were trouble makers

[@CatChaseTheFish]

Av never seen a baby so so cute. Model perfect! 😍

[@spunkybuggandco.]

I have so many onsies saved for my son and daughter! Rubens blankie turned out so cute!! This is my sign that I need to go through them haha. You had me laughing when you said your sons birthday was the following day, and you were staying up late to finish. I've done this with so many projects. Christmas stockings and Blankets, Easter dress, birthday jumper, a birthday purse... and the list goes on. Last minute mums unite!! (Glad it's not just me)

[@MyMumMakes]

Yep you're not alone - I certainly end up doing projects last minute. And every time I start it really thinking "this will be the time I finish it early" and yet it always ends up that things take longer or the kids get sick or whatever and I'm still scrambling at the end. Oh well. I'm a pro at finishing things last minute at this point! Haha Yes have a go at turning the onsies you saved into a blanket. It's such a nice way to save them and still get to see them and use them.

[@spunkybuggandco.]

@My Mum Makes It's part of mom life! Our makes don't always go according to plan because life comes first and that's ok!😄💕

[@MyMumMakes]

@@spunkybuggandco. Totally agree. The most important thing is we're having a go

I just found your video. I love it. Thank for sharing. Joyce from Chicago

[@MyMumMakes]

Welcome to my channel! I'm glad to hear you're enjoying it

[@patricianesp]

Cutest thing i’ve seen in a while!! So amazing! I will be making this for sure. Thank you!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Deepfriedmummy]

Very helpful tutorial. I’ve got three of these to make in autumn and winter. I’ve not used a sewing machine in a very long time, so please 🤞🏽for me 😬

[@marialuisacortes2819]

No hablo tu idioma, pero sigo el cómo realizas tu confección,felicitaciones por tu trabajo quedó hermoso.

[@MyMumMakes]

Welcome! I'm so glad my video was still useful even though you don't speak English. I hope you have a go at making it!

[@marshdyan7101]

Hello. What kind of backing material did you use?

[@mb1015]

Brilliant instruction for a beginner like me. I'm wondering what time you got to bed! 😂

[@08Dimplee]

Thanks for making this video. I wanted to learn how to make it, so i can get a side income during my free time. Since i cannot work fulltime due to having a 2 year old. This is a very helpful video x

[@MyMumMakes]

It can be very full on having a toddler for sure! I'm glad this video helped you and good luck with your sewing side income.

[@kimthomas2158]

OMG Marie. This is amazing. I was looking for a video to do this. Your son is gorgeous and a massive happy birthday to him. ❤️

[@MyMumMakes]

Thank you so much! Reuben certainly is a cutie! 💕 I'd love to see a photo if you do have a go at this yourself and I'm glad it was what you were looking for

[@negina]

Turned out beautiful ❤

Can't wait to sew along ❤❤❤ Thanks for the vid

[@harrieth7003]

My eldest of 3 is 8years old and have been saving clothes for this since he was little… but keep thinking, do I really want a memory blanket taking up space? Great idea to add in a theme of some sort though so it would match a bedroom, or be a bit more aesthetically pleasing rather than just sitting in a blanket box.

[@MyMumMakes]

Oh I'm glad you liked this idea! Reuben loves this blanket and no joke has slept with the every night since then which is about 8 months now. I agree though it helps to pick clothes that look good together. I've still got some spare baby clothes that didn't fit the 'vibe' for this blanket which hopefully will have their time in another project

[@ASpecialCake1]

Thanks so much for this tutorial. It's one of the best I've seen in prep for making my first ever quilt - a baby blanket out of hubby's worn out button up shirts. I'm about to sew the middle and back layers, and wanted to ask (or reconfirm rather) - you didn't sew the inside layer separately, right? Does it not bunch up ? Thanks

[@laurenhurt365]

I want to know this as well

[@cherylbackshall9347]

So beautiful & very special, just curious what you used for the backing fabric. Is it a minky fabric? I love this idea. I’ve made a patchwork cushion cover before from leftovers, which I actually love because it makes me think of everyone that I’ve made things for. Thank you for sharing this beautiful project 🙏🏻🥰

[@MyMumMakes]

It's so nice to hear you like it! I've just used a fleece backed jersey but you certainly could use Minky

[@cherylbackshall9347]

@@MyMumMakes Fleece backed jersey sounds perfect, with the polar fleece in the middle too. Memory blanket project plans are definitely in motion 👏🏻 Thanks again & have a wonderful weekend 🙏🏻🥰

[@MyMumMakes]

@@cherylbackshall9347 thanks, you have a great weekend too. Send me a photo of your memory blanket when you're done, I'd love to see it!! 💕

[@Anna-ml1qz]

after joining the rows it is necessary to trim the sides to a same width.

[@vidhuelvee492]

Hi Its very useful.. also can you please help in tutorial for blanket using baby frocks

[@MyMumMakes]

I'm glad it was helpful! Could you cut out squares of fabric from the baby frocks and create a blanket like the one in this tutorial?

[@Bisabeldesigns]

Hi I have a question - what kind of fabric were these squares?

[@MarshaCaughill]

I'm new to your channel ❤❤

[@Falmarie]

My question is . I have a new onesies that have zippers through the design I love is it possible to sew through a zipper?

[@linagalante6044]

Each square are from the same type of material same texture of material because if I have jeans and I have a T-shirt, I do that if it’s a different type of material

[@allaboutme5198]

I’m planning to self study sewing because of this and was just wondering if what kind of sewing machine do i need? I’m overwhelmed when i googled the types of sewing machines, like single needle, overlock and etc. I don’t know which one to purchase for a newbie like me. I’m planning on making a baby size comforter as well if that’s possible for the same machine. Pls help :D

[@mariemartin8289]

Just a cotton fabric for backing ?

[@Chrissyaya88]

I’m confused about the mistake part. What size am I meant to do it if I want a thicker border?

[@mariacampos8038]

Do you sew the top and the middle together or are they just pinned until you sew it all together?

[@MyMumMakes]

Just pinned until the border is sewed

[@sophirodrigo6350]

Hi ..just a small doubt...how much time did it take to make this blanket

[@MyMumMakes]

Good question. I worked on it in the evenings once my kids were in bed for about 5 days. So it possibly took 10 hours I'd say? I'm not sure exactly as this was made a year ago

[@ditzyKnight007]

I want to do this with my boyfriend's old hand shirts that he'll never wear again but we dont want to get rid of

[@Bisabeldesigns]

No interfacing needed?

[@shraddhanade8720]
