Sewing: Week Thirty Three: DIY Airplane Blanket

DIY Airplane Blanket: 3ten.ca

DIY airplane blanket is quick and easy to make; moreover, you’ll know it’s freshly washed and clean before each use! Last week we hit the road for Kelowna and the drive through the mountains is a bit tricky – sometimes it’s hot and sometimes it’s cold. Hence, the need for a go-to blanket.

What You Need

  • 70×50 piece of blanket fabric
  • serger
  • matching thread
  • fray check

First, get your serger ready and reference your quick index card if you have one. My Baby Lock has a great quick stitch card with all the instructions I need to change the stitch. Since I’m using a black fabric I want the blanket stitch edging to pop – hence, purple!

Set up your serger for the blanket stitch and stitch away. I suggest practicing on a piece of scrap first, just to be sure you’ve set your serger up correctly. Serge each edge and then iron. Fray check the corners and press with a hot iron to ensure the seams don’t unravel. That’s it – now it’s time to travel with this DIY airplane blanket.
