I'm lucky that I can buy my fabric easily in Rotterdam. But as some of you have mentioned that's not the case for everybody which is why I want to inspire those with limited access to fabric with tutorials on how to refashion items you already own into something stylish. I'm pretty sure we all have a blanket at home (or one you can buy) that you can transform into this easy DIY poncho. On top of being trendy it's super comfy which is just what I need for the season. Off course mine has to be extra colorful as well :D
What you'll need:
- 1 blanket (mine is from Tiger www.tiger-stores.com/) You can also use fleece (from www.siebrenmodestoffen.nl/)
- thread
- fabric scissors
- pins
- sewing machine (I use Brother DS140 rstyle.me/~2ieBk)

[@sweetwaterfarmhouse1074]

Hello will you please tell me where you get your bla kets. Thxx n advance

[@ninah4543]

Creative1 Jaydi Hello, I bought them in a local retail store. they are made of polyester, 150x200cm. I don't know where you're from but I found this website so you can check out. I have exactly the same one they're showing in the first photo. Hope that helps :) www.alibaba.com/product-detail/100-polyester-photo-printed-polar-fleece_60111183936.html www.alibaba.com/product-detail/HOT-SALE-KOREA-POLYESTER-PLAID-PRINTED_1464848712.html

[@sweetwaterfarmhouse1074]

*****​. Hello. Thx so much for that information.

[@snnysnflwrgrl3835]

Where do you recommend one can buy a blanket like that? Also, what are the dimensions of that throw? Thank you for the great video. It is very useful, and an awesome idea

[@njhoxsey]

I wish this had more detail. I’m very new to sewing and I really wanted to try this, but I need measurement etc.😢

[@0530Paola]

niiiice

[@virginiadiego7462]

hola y la traduccion muy bonito

[@joycy]

+Virginia Diego gracias 💖

[@jacquievogler9038]

Love this! Can you please, provide the measurements on the blanket you used? You are just amazing :-)

[@joycy]

+Jacquie Bitsmom Thanks! I don't know what the measurements are sorry :(

[@brandijacksonwellness]

Looks so snuggly! :0)

[@joycy]

It really is ^_^

[@superbad143]

wow! soooooo easy! thanks! ;)

[@joycy]

You're welcome :-)

[@rosimarques1670]

Olá linda. Esse vídeo está sem a legenda ativada e estou a tentar reproduzir o seu poncho, mas não sei as medidas que usar para poder cortar a lateral logo no começo do vídeo. Pode ajudar-me? Beijinhos.

[@missyjb73]

how big is the neck opening? I cut 12 inches but it looks smaller than the one in your video.

[@lawannagale793]

This is a good tutorial. However, can you tell me how many inches to cute for the neck line? I am a little unsure....thank you!

[@joycy]

If you use a tanktop or t-shirt cut at shoulders width. That's how I cut mine :-)

[@someonedollar6970]

Nice profile picture☺

[@joycy]

Thank you ^_^

[@aandp4dummieslikeme654]

What size blanket did you use?

[@joycy]

+AandP4dummieslikeme I don't know. Bought it at Flying Tiger. They have a shop in NYC now

[@amberluxurious]

I want to sew the side up but open up the front hummmm...

[@gfelder63]

Didn’t show how she sold neck part

[@shantaviacarter9909]

Did you get a serger? Some of those lines look like serger lines

[@joycy]

Those were the lines already present in the blanket. I think it was stitched or something because the lines used are too thick for a serger unless it's possible to use this thread for one

[@nitsrah]

So sorry I wrote a long message before because I thought you were leaving your channel for the Meesha channel. You were contributing not replacing. I am sorry.

[@joycy]

nitsrah hey I think I missed it. No way! Never leaving my channel. Why would I live my home to embellish somebody elses? ;-)

[@nitsrah]

Chuckle. I hope you understand I meant no harm. I was just surprised at first because she had passed and I wanted to continue honoring her. Later I noticed other sewers and caught on that you honoring her channel too. I love each of your distinct styles and personalities. You are right why would you leave your own to embellish another. Bendishon!
