Fleece Blanket Instructions

No-Sew Slit-Fringe Fleece Blanket 
(no knots)

YOU WILL NEED:

Polar Fleece (1 yard, 1 ½ yard or 2 yard pieces), Ruler and Sewing Scissors

SIMPLE 5-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

Step #1 - 

Before you begin, trim off selvage edges and square edges as needed.

Step #2 - 

Cut a 4 inch square from each corner of the fleece.

Step #3 - 

Cut clean and even 4-inch long by 1-inch wide fringe around the blanket. 

Step #4 - 

Using the tips of your scissors, make a tiny slit (about ½  inch long) at the base of each piece of fringe. 

Step #5 - 

Feed the end of the fringe through the back side of the slit you just cut and pull through to create a neat and secure fringed edge. (Please don’t do knots - the slit-fringe makes for a much softer blanket. Thanks!)

When your blanket(s) is finished you may either drop it off to my house or call me and I will pick it up.   

If you have any questions, let me know.  

Thank you so much for your help!

The Road Home

For the next 7 weeks we will be making and collecting blankets* for the Road Home, the largest shelter in Utah that assists individuals and families experiencing homelessness all along the Wasatch front. 

One of the biggest needs they have is blankets! With the cold weather just around the corner, this is a great time to gather blankets for our brothers and sisters who've fallen on extremely hard times. 

Please join us for our first

Another Year of Service!

September 2010 ~ May 2011

Its time to kick-off another year of service! 

This year we will be focusing on BLANKETS!!! 

We will be helping a wide variety of wonderful causes through our blankets. 

(homeless, hospitalized children, abused women & children, elderly, etc...)

Once a month, we'll have a "blanket party" to make as many blankets as we can. 

Blanket Parties will be on the 2nd Friday of each month at 11:00 a.m. at Laura's home. 

You can also make the blankets at home. This would be a fantastic project to do together with your families! 

If you can't make a blanket (either at home or at a blanket party), you can help by donating materials. 

Blankets can be no-sew fleece, quilted, tied, crocheted, or knitted

Hope to see you at the Blanket Parties!
