  Step 1

  You will need:
  I x piece of 100% cotton fabric, approx 80cm wide x 105cm long (this will give you a blanket that's roughly the same size as a shop bought pram blanket)
  1 x piece of fleece fabric cut to the same measurements.

• 

  Step 2

  Pin the two piece of fabric right sides together. It's worth taking the time to make sure the two pieces of fabric are pinned as smoothly as possible, as the bottom layer of fabric is liable to shift a tiny bit as you sew it.

• 

  Step 3

  Starting about halfway along one of the shorter edges, sew all the way around each side, stopping about 10cm from where you started from.

• 

  Step 4

  Turn the blanket the right way round through the 10cm gap you've just left.
  Trim the corners diagonally and trim the seam allowances back if they're quite generous. Stick the end of a paintbrush or similar into the corners to make sure they're nice and pointy.

• 

  Step 5

  Press, making sure the seam allowance in the turning section is pressed under too.
  Top stitch all the way around the edge of the blanket, including the gap you left for turning.
  If you want to add a label, position it in a loop half way across the gap and stitch it in place as you top stitch across the gap

• 

  Step 6

  One final press and you're done!
