How To Make A Fleece Tie Blanket?

Hey can you tell me how to make a fleece tie blanket? I am supposed to help a friend make it I wanted to know how. She has to gift it to her brother for his child’s baby shower. Is it very hard to make, how much time it takes to make. What stuff is required to make it? Can it be hand knit, or does it require a stitching machine. How much time would it take to make a personalized by a professional? What color do you think it should be in, if it is being made for a baby boy? I want the easiest steps to make it.

It is really easy to make it as when my best friend was pregnant that time I have gift her the same which I made by my own. It will nearly take 1 day if you will take full rest and give time to other work as well. This homemade fleece blanket is easy to create and has the homemade touch that makes a great gift. They make great baby gifts because the fabric is soft and you can choose the size that you think they would prefer. The other great thing about this blanket is it's very forgiving to minor mistakes. It depends that which type of blanket you are making as in some stitching is not required at all. For a baby boy I will suggest you to choose blue color. I will tell you the one in which stitching is not required you need two pieces of fleece fabric of different patterns, Sharp scissors, Tape and Paper clips. Instruction: 1. choose two rolls of fleece fabric that you would like for your blanket. I prefer a pattern and a solid. The fleeces should be the same except for the pattern. You also want to make sure the fleece isn't too thick or it will be really difficult to cut. 2. Have an attendant cut your fabrics equally so you don't have to re-cut later. If you want a larger blanket or smaller blanket, cut accordingly. I thought the one yard size is perfect. 3. Lay the blankets down evenly on top of each other, and clip them together so they don't move. 4. Choose a side to begin and fold the two fabrics up about an inch and a half and use four or five pieces of tape to secure it along this side. 5. Begin cutting along the folded piece up to the edge of where the fold ends. Make your cuts about an inch apart so your strips will be about an inch in thickness. Continue until you finish the entire side. 6. Begin tying the two fabrics together. The pieces that were cut together are tied together. 7. Continue on for the remaining three sides. The corners can be a bit tricky. Cut as you did the first side and cut off any ties that look awkward on the corners so that you have a right angle. 8. Tie a bow around the blanket and you have a great homemade baby gift.
