Baby Tag Blanket Tutorial:

Step 1 – Cut the elements for the tag blanket

Taking the remaining strips from the cuddle strip kit cut them to length.  In Example I cut four strips to  19 inches in length.  Be sure to save your scraps for future projects.  Cut the backing either from cuddle fabric or satin to match the front (taking into account a half inch seam allowance between the strips).  So for a back of 19 inch strips it would be 19 inches by 17 inches.

Cut ribbons for the tags or taggies to four inches in length, set aside.

Step 2 – Assemble the front of the blanket

Assemble the front.

Sew the strips together using a half inch seam allowance.

Since cuddle can stretch unevenly when sewn, even out the front edges and cut the strips to the same width.

Loop the ribbons in half to put on the blanket.

Since the ribbons will be tugged on a lot we’re going to make them extra sturdy and sew them on  before we sew on the back.  Fold the ribbons in half and pin onto the edge of the cuddle fabric with  the tops facing inward.

 Sew on using a half inch seam allowance.

Step 3 – Add the back to the blanket

With right sides together and the ribbons sandwiched in-between add the backing to the blanket

( either  cuddle fabric or satin)

and sew around with a half inch seam allowance

with a three inch gap for turning.

Turn right-side out.

Sew the gap shut.

Then with a half inch seam allowance sew around the blanket with a serpentine or  other decorative stitch all the way around to set the blanket.
