Barbara's cozy blanket
Barbara, of Oasis Originals, shares with us information about her latest creation. She writes, "I just wanted to let you know that I have just made MYSELF, not my dogs, a new blanket. I used your sateen and heavy duty flannel. Sewed them together at the edges but left a gap open ( with edge trim ) on each side so that I can clean out the lint. I have in the past sewn a stitch down the entire length of the blanket every so often but after the many washings I give my bedding I end up with rocks in between the layers, so I left a gap to clean them out, we will see how that works. I also bound the edges with the same flannel...I just thought I would pass on what I do with your wonderful fabrics and also express how happy I am to find out I purr in my sleep now :-) .
"I'm not to sure on how to take a photo of a blanket but here's a try, I even positioned it so you can see the " pocket " I left to clean out the flannel lint later... The first one I made was out of the regular weight flannel and the heavy duty is so much more wonderful, I can not wait, I guess it's early to bed !!"
It sounds so cozy, and like it would work wonderfully for people with allergies (who may need to wash their bedding frequently), for babies (whose blankets need washed frequently for other reasons), and really for just about everybody! If you make one yourself, let us know how it goes. :)
