Minky fabric is absolute star of all baby fabrics.The most famous thing made with this fabric is of course minky blanket! Minky blanket is simply must have. I needed a gift for one little princess so I decided to sew minky blanket. So today I invite you for minky blanket DIY!
I have chosen pink blanket (because this is what little princesses like the most!). Minky fabric is bright pink and the cotton for back of blanket side is pink with white stars. I added also one extra thing: lettering with name on blanket. I really wanted it to be unique and personal gift. You can not buy such blanket in shop. So you can do it! Tutorial below.

Put together minky fabric and cotton (see photo). Use pins to pin fabrics (in this way fabrics not move during sewing). Sew fabrics along three sides using sewing machine. Leve one shorter side open (it is needed to flip the blanket right side out and put filling inside).
