DIY Tag Blanket With Fabric Tags
"This simple tag blanket uses less than a yard of fabric and can provide hours of supervised stimulation and comfort for baby. This is the fourth pattern in the Baby Sew Along.
Finished Size Approximately 16” (40.5 cm) x 20” (51 cm) after quilting, not including tags. Tools Sewing machine with needle. 45 mm Rotary Cutter, Acrylic Ruler, and Cutting Mat OR fabric scissors and marking pen. Iron and iron-safe surface. Clover Mini Wonder Clips or pins. Clover 1/2″ Bias Tape Maker (optional, but makes the process much easier!). Basic sewing supplies (seam ripper, thread snips, etc.).
Materials 100% cotton fabric for front, back, and fabric tags. I used 2 fat quarters for the front and back, and approximately 1/8 yard for the tags. Alternatively, you can use another fat quarter for the tags, or scrap fabrics sewn together into a 1” (2.5 cm) strip approximately 60” (152.5 cm) long. Fairfield Quilter’s 80/20 Batting – Small 45″ x 60″. 100% cotton thread in your choice of color for stitching and bobbin. I used white."
