Blankets?

[BrittanyLynae]

So I was thinking about making blankets like the one I made DF.



-suede on one side and a very soft wool like fabric (cant remember name atm) the blanket is 6' x 4' the fabric breathes so you're never sweating underneath it and very comfortable. Everyone says they like it because it keeps you at a comfortable warmth. Bad thing is if you wash it, it's better to let it air dry... -

But maybe add a ribbon on edges (black or a color) and Have one for each military branch. But not sure if I want to do that. Otherwise I could go back to making purses but seems more people do that... idk just looking for something else to do ^.^

any opinions?

I REALLY love it. Would you do it without any military logos? Do you have other colors you can use?

I agree, I really love it too. I'm a sucker for blankets!

I can do many different colors. The cheapest colors are the suede shown, a light pink, and a dark brown. There are other colors available that I'd have to get from a different store for a little bit more but they have blue, red, green, tons of different colors. and I could do it without a military logo.

doesnt take long to make it either...

this is by far my favorite blanket of all time! lol I'm always stealing it from DF

how much would you be charging for a blanket?

depending on extras, like ribbon down two sides and if there is a logo or not.

I'd probably do a plain one for: $30
W/ logo - $35
w/ ribbon - $35
Both - $40

Plus and Shipping and handling charges. Really isnt bad, just covering supply costs really...

I can do smaller ones. I love making lap size ones that are perfect size for kids. My little sisters always are using the lap quilts and blankets i've made. ^.^ my 1 year old sister LOVES her blanket...

smaller blankets price just half of larger blanket.
