How to Sew Blankets Cont'd |
When I sew these reversible blankets and I serge them, I don't pay attention to seam allowances; I just serge off some of the fabric. Sewing the corners is easy because you just round off the corners until you come to the place you started sewing. I like to overlap the serging and then serge off and clip the threads. |

As you can see, these reversible blankets are really easy to make! If you don't have a serger, or you are a beginning sewer, you might prefer to sew this blanket on a regular sewing machine. With this sewing method, you still use only one yard of fabric for each side, but you might want to make sure to straighten up the fabric a bit to ensure that you get even seams. I would suggest using a 3/8 inch or 1/2 inch seam allowance. I also made this example in miniature, and I chose to sew a 3/8 inch seam allowance. Sewing the reversible blanket using this method is similar to sewing a square pillow. |
