Baby Blankies for Gifts

I've made these before.
Here's more detailed info if you also have friends having babies and want to make some!
They're smaller and simple, more of a cozy blankie--not a swaddling blanket.
I feel like one side always has to be satin to be a true blankie.  I guess I loved satin as a kid or something?

So the satin side has an applique of the first letter of each baby's name.

GIRL:
Baby "e"
yellow furry minky, pink satin, flower applique sewn with blanket stitch, turquoise binding


BOY:
Baby "b"
pirate print flannel, chocolate satin with pirate "B" and boys appliques sewn with narrow zig-zag, red binding

Hope they like these!

  1. Ooh... these are lovely! I have recently been considering trying my hand at applique monograms on some funky baby burp cloths... similar idea, great inspiration, thanks!

  2. So glad to have stumbled on this! I am hoping for a niece soon - I hung on to my bridesmaid dress in the hopes of making a baby blanket out of it!
