How to Sew Blankets
Sewing reversible blankets can be lots of fun! Simply buy one yard each of different
flannel prints. There are two ways to sew this reversible blanket. The easiest way to sew a
reversible blanket is to put
wrong sides together and serge around the outside, rounding
corners as you go. I saw this idea on Sandra Betzina's tv show when it was airing on
HGTV a few years ago.


Make sure to preshrink flannel
before sewing with it. Sandra
Betzina suggests using a size
80/12H (Universal) sewing
machine needle for sewing
flannel fabric.

As you can see in the
picture to the left, I
have two different
fabrics that I will sew
together to make this
blanket. (This
