How to Make A No Sew Fleece Blanket

How to make a No Sew Fleece Blanket.....  These blankets are so easy and pretty quick to make and they make such nice gifts, and are wonderful to snuggle up with while watching TV

What you'll need:




1-2/3 yds. of print outerwear fleece 1-2/3 yds. of a solid outerwear fleece Tape measure



•Cut a square of each fabric that measures from 56" to 58" square. This measurement should be a whole number. Remove the selvages (fabric fray)

•Place the squares over each other, wrong sides together.

•Cut a 5" square from each corner.

•To cut fringe, lay one piece of fabric on the floor/table, and then fold the 5" to be fringed back.

•Cut fringe 1" wide and 5" deep on all sides.

•Using a overhand knot, tie the front and back fringe together.

•Do this all the way around the blanket being careful not to stretch the fabric.



In no time at all you'll have a beautiful no-sew blanket that's warm and attractive.



And because it's so easy, you'll have time to make a no-sew, hand-tied pillow to match!



Just cut a square of fabric that is 18" plus 10" square. Follow the same steps as the blanket, but to assemble, tie the three sides, and then slip the pillow inside. Tie the front and back fringe. Finish tying and you're done.



It's that easy!

Preparing for the Holidays

I know, I know. It is not even Halloween yet, and I am planning for Thanksgiving and Christmas. For me, it is crucial to get my plan in place. I only get paid once a month, so I really need to plan ahead. I am on the lookout for coupons right now to stock up and start getting the canned food supplies and things I can stick in the freezer for gourmet fabulous meals for the Holidays. I know I want Turkey for Thanksgiving, and will be planning the menu soon. As far as Christmas goes, I have made my list of family members, friends and co-workers for gift giving. I have really been checking out various websites for home made gifts. Also while I have been out on my thrift store adventures, I have come across 3 suitable gifts (brand new, still in the original boxes and one even still has the price tag on) for the lucky recipients on my list. So far I have picked up PJ's for my mom, and 2 fabulous books for my dad and my sister. My daughter is getting a silver necklace that I got on clearance...I have everything hidden and tucked away, and I am looking forward to adding to my stash this week. This is my strategy for the Holidays in a futile attempt to be ready and not have to use any credit cards for any unexpected gifts. I like to be done early with Christmas gifts too. I do not have to run around like a chicken with my head cut off, and I can mail my gifts to out of state family right after Thanksgiving. I plan on having a Fabulous & Frugal holiday season!!!!
