The colors aren't bad Andrea. You're really good! My mom in law was a seamstress. She still enjoys sewing.....mouth usually just for immediate family. I enjoyed sewing in High School. I won 1st place in a "sew off" in High School. I made black corduroy pants and purple and black plaid shirt! I won a ribbon and 20.00. I still have my ribbon. Thanks for sharing
Love sewing and I think it is amazing to make these blankets. Wonderful gifts. I go all around the edges and cut off excess fabric so that the edges aren’t bulging. Andrea was a very talented and amazing sewer!
I love your family and how calm you are with your children all the time. It is always refreshing to see good Christian people raising good kids. You are very creative. Merry Christmas to you and your family and have a blessed New Year
Wow your dad will cherish that beautiful blanket, I love fleece blankets, you are so thoughtful and loving. I loved watching this video and have seen the children's on their birthdays, what amazing gifts from the heart with love.❤️😊🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thank you so much for taking the time to make an easy to follow video for a beginner sewer. I liked how you put the material on your bed, I hadn't thought of doing that. I ended up making a blanket and pillow cover for my toddler grandson and a miniature set for his doll. He's obsessed with cars so it was great to be able to make the perfect one.
I used this tutorial to make a fleece blanket for my counseling office and it was so easy to follow! I love how it has more of a streamlined look compared to tie blankets. Thanks for sharing!
A while back I followed your tutorial to make my mom a blanket for Mother’s Day. It was so hard to find a fleece blanket tutorial that’s NOT the tie blankets. Imo those kinda suck lol. Anyways It came out awesome. She uses it every night and nobody is allowed to use it but her lol. My sister kept trying to steal hers because it’s so cozy so I made one for her for Christmas lol. I even made a small one for my dog 😂
Thank you. This is a true beginner project. I appreciate the way you showed buying the fabric. That was helpful. Also little hints like using a longer stitch for fleece. That explains a problem I had with a baby blanket I made that puckered. Please do more videos with help for those of us just starting on the sewing journey.
Wow, just the tutorial I needed. Making my grandson a blanket. Hardest part was trying to true up the edges to start with, but after watching this I am ready to begin sewing. Thank you.
A few years ago (2011? 2012?) I made fleece blankets for my family as well! They are super warm and I love how everyone could choose the design they wanted!
Well I guess I have to thank you.😌 I asked my wife to make the softest fleece blanket we could buy and she never made it.😐 So I watched your video and did exactly what you did. Step-by-step and it worked.😅 To be perfectly honest with you,🤫 if the blanket was made of steel, I would have been able to weld it beautifully together. Sewing is definitely not my trade🧐
thank you so much for this! I was looking for DIY throw blankets and all of them were no sew and the tie ends, but I want to learn to sew. This was straight to the point, very very easy to follow along to!
I made a similar blanket for my son last spring, but I used fusible fleece and cotton fabric, so it feels like a quilt. I may use your tutorial to make a blanket as a Christmas gift for another relative. Thanks for posting this video, those blankets look awesome!
Your father's blanket has so much meaning to it and will not only warm his body, but also his soul! I love the border that you sewed. It looks to be close to an inch from the edge, I believe. The colors look great together....it's a color combination I personally would choose. I do those no sew knotted edge blankets for my 6'7" son as we have a very hard time finding blankets to cover him completely. Making them isn't cheaper, but we get the size he needs! Merry Christmas!
I am very new to sewing and want to make blankets. Love your video and it gives me courage to make fleece blankets to make as gifts for everyone's birthdays and Christmas. Thank you. I have a question. What size do you make your blankets and can you do any stitch you want like a blanket stitch? Thanks again!
Unfortunately Andrea passed away 2 years ago, and I only know about buying sewing machines lol. I can tell you that most of the lancets she made were smaller, although there were a couple bigger ones. They are so simple I am pretty sure any stitch would do!
Hi Andrea, This is such a relaxing video to watch! I loved the music. You have inspired me to sew again. This makes such a thoughtful gift. I'm sure your dad will love it. Merry Christmas! Best wishes, Jennifer Scott
I have a baby blanket that I had for 47 years since I was born and it seems to be coming undone I would like to sew it back together the only thing I feel like the material is getting stuck is there a certain height or measurement or setting I got to do to make it go through the blanket a little bit better or a different needle I've never seen before I tried it once and I broke the needle
I'll be doing something similar for my grandson's Christmas blanket but will be using the super soft fleece and flannel. I hope it turns out ok. It's going to be my first blanket.
I've just begun to sew, and having several folks around me throwing baby showers, I started with baby blankets...and like you, I chose fleece and flannel...my first couple I didn't pre-wash the flannel....so they'll probably look a bit less professional with washing....the first time I attempted to pre-wash some flannel the edges just disintegrated in the washing machine, making a HUGE tangled mess and losing me up to at least an inch and a half of flannel (more in many places) on ALL my edges....so I tried using mesh bags...they still frayed, and were a pain and a half to get dry (it's winter and rainy where I am so hang drying wasn't as easy--and with three baby showers scheduled so closely, I was under the gun) lol! I ended up getting a serger--and I am SO SO SO happy with it! now I can serge the edges, wash to my heart's content in hot water, tossing them into the dryer and get the shrinking over with before using with fleece (which will never shrink) Even if you don't have a serger-- I think you can use a zig zag right up against the edge and get similar results.
Auralae I was thinking of doing that. I had the same tangled mess when I washed some fall flannel... thx for confirming that "finishing" the edges would help.
Hello. Just wanted to say thank for for the video. I’ve sewn 3 blankets now :) Personally I hate the way tied fleece blankets look so I’m glad I found your video. They look so neat and well made when they’re finished. My family is all asking me now to make blankets for them haha.
Your Dad will absolutely love it! I love it myself and wish I had it on my bed tonight! Have you considered an Etsy store? I would purchase one or two for sure!
They are not as cheap as store blankets, but they are warmer and MUCH more durable! We still use ones I made over 10 years ago, and are usually the first ones my boys grab to cover up with around the house or to bring in the car. Ive made blankets for all the new babies in the family and they are the ones everyone seems to be able to keep around for years because they are warm and durable 😊
Hi Andrea. I'm going to start off by saying that I am not trying to be rude, so please don't be offended with what I'm about to say. But when you hand sew the blanket shut, I think you should try the mattress stitch instead of the whip stitch, because the mattress stitch makes a seam on the inside that would match the stitching on the rest of the blanket.
I was the 100th thumbs up, thats the first time that has happened! 😀 I love your fleece blankets, I've had some of the camo fleece and other different ones and I make all the family hot bottle covers!! sending you and the family lots of love and a merry christmas. ❄⛄❄ Your blanket was just lovely, thank you for the tip on keeping the threads inside!! Loved the sewn edge too, wouldn't have thought of that!!
p.s If anyone is thinking of making a cover for their hot bottles it's often cheaper to buy a fleece blanket than the fabric by the metre. If they are a little thin just double it up! 😀
Hi Andrea, I was just at WalMart today looking at fleece. My idea is to use fleece as a back for a patchwork quilt I am making for a friend's grandson. I think JoAnne's will have a better selection. I love your idea of putting two fleeces together. Makes me think....thank you!
I really loved the owl blanket you made - as my craft name is The Night Owl, it's something that would suit me very well, and would look amazing on my own bed - so I'll have to see if I can get this material in the UK, too :)
My first time buying fleece. Idk why i’ve put it off so long, but thanks for your tutorial i didn’t know where to begin. I hate the look of those fleece blankets with all the knots.
I'm sorry for your loss. She looks like she was very sweet and a very genuine person. She's an inspiration for me as a mother too. It's good she made you all home made blankets. It's so much better when love is put into something. In Jesus Christ goodbyes are not forever. You will see her again. I hope your faith is growing in the Lord. ❤️✝️🌈🕊
I thought you'd be using a blanket stitch to sew the blanket shut, where you sew back and forth between the inner edges of your opening. I didn't think the stich you used would be so unnoticable, but it worked out too! :) The finished blanket looks very cozy!
My husband is very tall, so I tend to make him blankets when I find cheap fabric! Usually store bought blankets are expensive and are never long enough!
Love it! And your adorable boys cracked me up. Reminded me of my funny little homeschoolers who are amazed by everything when we leave the house! So much wonder and curiosity. 😂 Would love to make some of these blankets but I'm not sure how useful they'd be to us here in South Texas. I'm sure y'all are able to use them for most of the year up there. ❤️
I can add to my list of ideas for the next time I make some. I want to make new curtains for my bedroom and the kitchen one of these days so if I do, I'll do a video.
I went through the tying phase myself. It was fun and novel, but I don't really like them anymore either. I've done a couple of baby blankets that were kind of a combo. I sewed the two pieces together about 5 inches from the edge and then cut the edges into thick fringe. They had that fringe-y look without the hard, bunchy knots.
Do you have issues washing these? I find the synthetic materials often smell bad. I use a vinegar rinse and never let them dry naturally which has solved some of the problems but sometimes still get a smell and then back into the washer. The fleece is not as bad as my boys' nylon basketball pants. I almost banned the basketball pants.
Hi, would you still be able to make one of these if you're sent multiple cuts of fabric? I'm doing the same as you, 2 yards of each fabric but I'm ordering online because I can't get the fabric I want in stores. After the first yard they will send a sperate 12 yard cut. Do you think this would still work? Thank you!
Hi! I am trying to sew 2 fleece fabrics AND a trim in the middle for a baby blanket. I’m having issues w my machine, could the thread be too tight for fleece? I’m not sure if I need a bigger needle of if I chose the wrong thread. PLEASE HELP!
Hi, I'm sort of new to sewing I've made like pillows and shirts even underwear but I tried making a very thick blanket and my thread keeps getting stuck and I dont know why its VERY thick like 6 layers to go through should I do something different? I'm using a long straight stitch and I dont know anything really about needles it's also a plush fabric on one side and a lilt blizzard fleece in the other
What kind of sewing machine do you use? It looks really nice and I'm in the market for a new one. Beautiful family you have! God bless and have a good day!
I have a Brother sewing machine. I'm not sure which model. I got it a Walmart several years ago. It was not an expensive model, but it works great and I'm happy with it.
He watches them sometimes at our house. (He doesn't have internet at his house since mom died.) We show him some of our vlogs. He won't see this unless I show it to him, so we're safe!
Andrea Mills oh my gosh I legit freaked when I saw that you replied. ( I love your videos) I was wondering if he would see this before Christmas but I'm glad the gift is safe!
Thank you so much 🙏 for teaching that looks so easy to make 😃
The colors aren't bad Andrea. You're really good! My mom in law was a seamstress. She still enjoys sewing.....mouth usually just for immediate family. I enjoyed sewing in High School. I won 1st place in a "sew off" in High School. I made black corduroy pants and purple and black plaid shirt! I won a ribbon and 20.00. I still have my ribbon. Thanks for sharing
Love sewing and I think it is amazing to make these blankets. Wonderful gifts. I go all around the edges and cut off excess fabric so that the edges aren’t bulging. Andrea was a very talented and amazing sewer!
Love the story of your dad’s blanket. Your a sweet daughter. Love the blanket and all the thoughtfulness that went into it.
That video is very helpful. Thanks Tom for the chance to let me watch this video and learn from it! Andrea was a great woman!
I love your family and how calm you are with your children all the time. It is always refreshing to see good Christian people raising good kids. You are very creative. Merry Christmas to you and your family and have a blessed New Year
Your explanation on your color choice made me teary eyed. I'm really excited to have him receive it.
What a lovely gift, very thoughtful, I bet your dad will be so happy
Revisiting this video as I am preparing to make a blanket for my Dad also. Get your rest Andrea.
Wow your dad will cherish that beautiful blanket, I love fleece blankets, you are so thoughtful and loving. I loved watching this video and have seen the children's on their birthdays, what amazing gifts from the heart with love.❤️😊🙏🏽🙏🏽

Thank you Andrea, that was so helpful. You have inspired me to make a fuzzy blanket :) Loved the relaxing music too. May God bless you all xxx
What a wonderful gift! The blanket turned out beautifully and I'm sure your dad will love it!
Best of Solomon "it's a tomato, with a spike" 😂😂😂🍅🍅🍅 love that kid!
Beautiful your dad will love it you are a multitalented lady
Thank you for this video! I just started sewing this month, and am planning to make some blankets for the homeless in my area
He's going to love that. What coziness!
Beautiful colour choices because the sentiment is beautiful hunni! Thanks for this help.

I miss you so much Andrea 😭💕

I need like... 40 of those right now! looks so warm! :D
This is such a comforting video!
I can only sew in a straight line, now you showed me one more thing I can sew, thanks.
They're so warm and cozy looking.
Thank u for this video. What size do u cut the fleece for a baby blanket?
Your dad is going to love it!
Thank you for making the video I used the directions to make a few doll blankets out of flannel.
What a fun project! I think I might have to do that with my girls.
They are not as cheap as store blankets, but they are warmer and MUCH more durable! We still use ones I made over 10 years ago, and are usually the first ones my boys grab to cover up with around the house or to bring in the car.
Ive made blankets for all the new babies in the family and they are the ones everyone seems to be able to keep around for years because they are warm and durable 😊
Joann!!! Omg I love them!
Those are lovely colors together, I don't know why you thought they looked odd together....
That is a really great idea.
Thank you so much for this informative tutorial. You really helped me in a pinch. I'm so glad UA-cam suggested this video for me. Hugs, ~*Shana

Definitely go to Joann's!
You are so Talented !
I really loved the owl blanket you made - as my craft name is The Night Owl, it's something that would suit me very well, and would look amazing on my own bed - so I'll have to see if I can get this material in the UK, too :)
you do not know how excited I was when I saw this!!! I think I've asked you like 4 times. thank you thank you thank you.
I remember! You're welcome!
Andrea Mills I'll have to post mine on your fb page! I simply adore you and your family. many blessings to you all!
Please do, I'd love that!
Did you wash the fabric first? Could one side be cotton? The colors are very nice! Such a thoughtful gift. I enjoyed your video and tips a lot.
Your blankets are beautiful and meanIngful !!! How many blankets have you made actually made?? You are so good at it!!!💜💜💜🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️
Would've been helpful to explain a little more about stitch length & sewing machine tensions & settings
Beautiful! Love it!❤️
Lovely blanket can’t wait to make mine on the weekend. Did your dad love his blanket?
Great video thanks ;) great idea measuring on your bed :)
I just started sewing and I have alot of trouble matching the edges up and also have trouble keep my story straight.
Thanks so much! I enjoyed this video.
My first time buying fleece. Idk why i’ve put it off so long, but thanks for your tutorial i didn’t know where to begin. I hate the look of those fleece blankets with all the knots.
She made a few of the knitted ones and decided she didn’t like them either, these are still around, and we are glad to have them now that she’s gone.

I love your videos so much!!! 💖💖💖
I trim my edges before turning it inside out
My husband is very tall, so I tend to make him blankets when I find cheap fabric! Usually store bought blankets are expensive and are never long enough!
Also, yours look so professional! I've never thought of adding a border like that!
Love it! And your adorable boys cracked me up. Reminded me of my funny little homeschoolers who are amazed by everything when we leave the house! So much wonder and curiosity. 😂 Would love to make some of these blankets but I'm not sure how useful they'd be to us here in South Texas. I'm sure y'all are able to use them for most of the year up there. ❤️
Great video! What needle do you use sewing on fleece and machine settings please
Why do people use wadding is it needed for cotton fleece
That is just lovely.
Are you going to do a video on making curtains?
I can add to my list of ideas for the next time I make some. I want to make new curtains for my bedroom and the kitchen one of these days so if I do, I'll do a video.
I know this is old so u probably won't see this comment but I love ur hair like this!
I like the colors, always have a great combo. I wasn't able to make out how much yardage? 2 or 3 or 3 1/2 yard?
Great video Andrea. I am going to make one of them for our bed. We have a tie version now, and I am not a fan.
I went through the tying phase myself. It was fun and novel, but I don't really like them anymore either. I've done a couple of baby blankets that were kind of a combo. I sewed the two pieces together about 5 inches from the edge and then cut the edges into thick fringe. They had that fringe-y look without the hard, bunchy knots.

Hi! I am trying to sew 2 fleece fabrics AND a trim in the middle for a baby blanket. I’m having issues w my machine, could the thread be too tight for fleece? I’m not sure if I need a bigger needle of if I chose the wrong thread. PLEASE HELP!
Hi, I'm sort of new to sewing I've made like pillows and shirts even underwear but I tried making a very thick blanket and my thread keeps getting stuck and I dont know why its VERY thick like 6 layers to go through should I do something different? I'm using a long straight stitch and I dont know anything really about needles it's also a plush fabric on one side and a lilt blizzard fleece in the other
What would I do if i wanted it longer or wider? Would I see panels?
What is the best foot to use for sewing fleece?
What kind of sewing machine do you use? It looks really nice and I'm in the market for a new one. Beautiful family you have! God bless and have a good day!
I have a Brother sewing machine. I'm not sure which model. I got it a Walmart several years ago. It was not an expensive model, but it works great and I'm happy with it.
Where do you get all your rolls of fabric from I’m new to this just got my first sewing machine
What was your seam allowance and what color thread did you use?
You didn’t do any stitching to make sure the sides don’t separate?
What is your stitch length for your final go around
I love how thought it and planned this/the colors are. Does your dad watch your videos?
He watches them sometimes at our house. (He doesn't have internet at his house since mom died.) We show him some of our vlogs. He won't see this unless I show it to him, so we're safe!
