I made this!!!!! My measurements were about 53"x33" - I had to do some math since hers was a square and mines a rectangle. I used flannel back, cotton front. First blanket ever and I had a friend teach me to use my sewing machine. I also added some batting, I sewed it in after seeing the two fabrics together first. So it has like triple stiching in all seams, more durable. Great tutorial thank you.

Please make sure you cut off the selvage edges prior to placing the 2 fabrics together and you also need to specify the width of your seam allowance.

Does anyone know where to find sewing groups? I have found that their are non-profits in my area in need of blankets and kid's clothing ranging from newborn to young adult.

Sewing the fabrics together is SO confusing. It’s way too fast. I’ve spent an hour trying to understand why my fabric is bunching in the middle when I see the sides. Im supposed to line up the smaller fabric with the larger outside piece on the middle marks but this doesn’t work. I’m out of ideas. 😢

I just learned today there is a wheel on the top right that lets you slow the videos down
