Love the receiving blanket tutorial ❤ When I made them for my son in the early 80s I doubled the yardage so both sides could be used reversible and warmer Ohio winters was brutal Thanks 🙏 for the video

Back when I was working I used to make receiving blankets this size for new moms. I prewashed because true flannel will shrink. As a disclaimer be sure to read the label on the bolt and make sure it is flannel and not acrylic and not meant for use with babies. When I made receiving blankets this size I did a rolled hem on my serger. I'm old enough to remember when receiving blankets were actually about that size. Moms and babies loved those blankets. You did a fantastic job explaining how to do a mitered corner.

I like to make reverable blankets. I use a pretty cotton fabric for one side and flannel for the other. Makes a nice gift. Saves messing with mitered corners. ,,yes ,i am a lazy girl

I made about a dozen receiving blankets for my daughter when she was expecting our granddaughter, because I remember how versatile they were when I had my babies. You can use them as blankets, swaddles, burp cloths, towels, pads for diaper changes…so many things! Then when baby has completely outgrown them (about age 3-4) they make great dolly blankets or even dust rags. My daughter loves hers so much, she said she’s giving every new mom in her circle receiving blankets. Grandbaby #1 is almost 3, and my daughter is now expecting baby #2, and all the blankets I made are still in terrific shape, despite countless washings. I might make a few new ones, though, using your method. That corner miter is genius! ❤
@darlenemitchell41983 ай бұрын
I ALWAYS serge the flannel and then wash it before sewing. No raveling & I actually find it keeps the shape better to square up. I also make mine double sided receiving blankets.

I love the receiving blanket and enjoy watching all your videos. I learn a lot from them. My only issue is that I would put the label on the reverse side . When you buy designer clothing, the labels are on the inside of the garment. Just my humble opinion. 😊.

I’ve a question about washing fabric. You said you always wash red and green. What do you do with fat quarters and jelly rolls? Will washing with the color savers after construction protect the rest of the colors? I’ve sewed all my life and never pre-washed until I had three blouses shrink after 1st washing. I would sure appreciate your expertise and advice. Thank you. Joyce Gross

Syntrapol is much better to use if your colors have already bled Retayne what you use to prevent the fabric from bleeding Rob Appel (I think that is how you spell his last name) has an excellent video on those two products I’ve tried it and it works Especially with red fabric and I bought some orange batik from a local quilt shop who said oh this fabric won’t bleed oh my God yes it did so glad I pre-washed it with Retayne

So I will not wash but I include a “ Color catcher” with it if the colors are bright or vibrant. Most all mommies are very grateful for this

Back in the day my gramma was a beautiful sewer, and having her first great grandson, she made me several of these 1 yard receiving blankets. Because my son was born the size of a small horse, I could actually swaddle him in them, store bought ones were a joke. Love them and I now always gift them for new moms. I have kept them for when he has his own kids. KY son was 8 lbs 11ozs, 23.5 inches long with head n chest of 14 inches.

Hi Tracy, Let me begin by saying I LOVE your videos. I have learned so much! I have to say my overall was the video with you cooking. I was in the sewing room chuckling to myself. My hubby had to see what was going on. He watched it with me. We were both laughing and enjoying it. Thank you for the giggles. May I ask which flannel you use? For the receiving blankets, I was looking at the nursery flannel. With the sale and I have a 25% off coupon, it makes the flannel $2.62 a yard. I have never used this type of flannel. I have to do something to help my bottom line. If you could give me some advice I would be grateful.Thank you!
