Quick-to-make Fleece Blanket Instructions!
Dear Potential Volunteer, The following should be adhered to for sizes: 36" x 36" (crib size) or larger, up to 50" x 72" (twin size) We used to say 'Any size' but recent feedback from foster moms - not wanting to sound ungrateful - is that binkies need to be at least 36" x 36" and up to twin bed size for the older teens. They should all have a Binky Patrol label sewn in any one corner. Labels can be provided to any volunteers who can and are able to sew the labels on the blankets. On occasion, we do use smaller binkies 24 x 24 (or close to that) for burial sets and for some people that prefer a more friendly size for car seats and strollers. It will depend upon the needs of the recipients of the binkies. FIRST STEP: Cut off the selvage - the long sides with the ugly writing, all curled to make it tidy. Then, fold it in fourths. All open corners at one corner. Cut the corner out about the size of CD. Open it up all way. Marlys Marlys D. Vaughan
The Binky Patrol is looking for volunteers to make blankets out of fleece.
You do not need to sew anything! All you need is some fleece fabric, a pair of scissors and a little bit of time.
Cut the fleece into blanket-sized pieces.
Using the scissors, you cut 1" strips like fringe into the edges of the fabric (about 4-5" deep), then simply tie two pieces of side-by-side fringe into a square knot.
You can also layer the fabric, using two pieces of fleece placed one on top of the other, cut the 1" strips through both layers of fabric, then tie the corresponding strips from layer 1 and layer 2 together in a square knot.
It's an easy project that can be done as a family, a group project or individually.
Once your blankets are done, simply contact me for a drop-off or mail-in location near you! It's that easy!
We look forward to hearing from you!
