From the time Affam was born, he has loved being swaddled when he goes to sleep. However, the receiving blankets are too small to do this anymore. So, I bought some flannel fabric and made him an extra large one. I of course had to add a cute print to the blanket to make it our own!

I cut the flannel to roughly a meter squared, and added a 4" strip of scrap printed fabric about a third of the way across the blanket. I top stitched the printed fabric with a half inch hem folded underneath and pressed. Then I did an overcasting stitch along the edge of the whole blanket to prevent the flannel from fraying. Since I got the flannel fabric on sale for $4 a meter, and used scrap fabric for the rest, this project works out to about $4!
