How to Make a Self Binding Baby Blanket with Easy Mitered Corners.
If you have problems sewing mitred corners on your blanket, this tutorial is for you!
This step by step tutorial demonstrates how you can easily cut and sew one without having to stitch close to corners of fabrics or needing to turn inside out.
For beginners, there's just a little bit of marking to do and then just four corners to sew before sewing around the border to complete the blanket.

This blanket measures 28" ( 71cm) wide x 38" (96.5cm) long with a 1.5" wide self bound Border all around.
The inner fabric is cut 2'' (5cm) narrower and 2" (5cm) shorter
Outer fabric is cut 3" (7.6cm) bigger than inner fabric all around. This will give the blanket the 1.5" border all around the inner fabric.
You can use this calculation to make your blanket any size with the 1.5" border.

CORRECTION - The outer fabric should measure 32” x 42” (not 40”) The method is still correct - Please follow exactly as I have shown. The finished blanket measures 28” x 38” 😊

you just do what you gotta do! Cotton or poly cotton is probably best. Just wash and dry first in case of any shrinkage. Hemming curves is tricky at first but it’s all about practice and challenging yourself to sew with nice finish. Do you have a straight stitch only with zig zag or a serger/ overlocker too?

If you press all around so you have the finished width, where the edges meet will be where the seam goes to the corner. Mark that diagonally seam on both sides, add seam allowance and cut. Then you can just easily stitch together as shown in video. Cheers

Does this method apply with the center fabric 30" and the back fabric 40" ? What size is the border? Thank you.

@NotchesSewing Жыл бұрын

The border ends up 1½” wide. Whatever your centre fabric measures, the back fabric needs to bigger by 3” all around. So 6” wider and 6” longer. If your fabric is 30” square, then your back fabric needs to be 36” square. If you want to use your 40”, then you’ll have a wider border and will need to adjust how you sew the corners.

This blanket was easy and simple make. Watched it several times before making new grandson’s blanket. Even finished one for his older sister. You have replaced all the other long drawn useless video’s, which have been deleted.

Thanks so much. Glad it was helpful. Please have a look at my satin binding tutorial as well. I will have another easy blanket soon. Congrats on the grandbabies!😊
