Feb. 10th, 2005 10:45 pmOk for Valentines Day I want to make my boyfriend a blanket.
I want to make it out of fleece with a piece of white cotton in the middle with pictures of us on it.
I was thinking I would get 2 different styles of fleece (one for the back and one for the front) but like when you buy the fabric its only like a certain width which isnt wide enough for a blanket, so I was wondering how I could go about sewing this together so it doesn't look tacky with a seam going down the middle of the blanket?
And for sewing the back and the front together should I just sew it all around the outer edges or some other way?
and For the pictures in the middle should I buy an iron on paper or something else because I don't have a printer I could use, so is there a store that would print pictures for me onto iron on paper? And should I use white cotton and just sew the square in the middle?
I'm sorry for all the questions (and the long post) but if anyone could help it would be greatly, greatly appreciated.
