Some Stuff & a Picnic Blanket {tutorial}

Hello rovers! I’m back for the 3rd time this week with a few randoms and a tutorial for a picnic blanket! The Rover was my faithful assistant throughout the project below and was told numerous times, “Do not step on Mommy’s blanket… please!” He looks so innocent doesn’t he?

Can I tell you how excited I am that Help Wad is coming upΒ  today and together we are road tripping it up to our old stomping grounds for the BIG Auburn/Georgia game this weekend… War Eagle! my Auburn friends! We are hoping to cheer the tigers on to another BIG win. We are also meeting up with a whole slew of our pledge sisters that we haven’t seen in almost 9 years a long time! I was going to print us some really cool shirts that said, “We’re older than we think we are!” but decided not to because who wants to give away the fact that we really are older than we think we are. We allΒ  graduated last semester, right girls?! We may be reminded of just how old we are when we see the young co-eds running around campus in their game-day dresses. Anyway, I cannot wait to see my sweet friends and catch up. I seriously could almost tear up because my time at Auburn was so wonderful and they are all so precious to me… I used to be a baby hoot and now I’m blogging about how to make picnic blankets… maybe I really am older than I think I am! At least I don’t own “mom jeans”… yet!

A few matters to discuss before jumping into the picnic blanket tutorial…

A couple of you asked about Paige’s fuzzy fleece pullover… we love it! It’s from Land’s End and you can find it here on BIG TIME SALE For $14.99Β  in this year’s colors.

Next I’ve updated the inventory in the shop. I always set aside a handful of tees in the event of exchanges or for locals and I’ve now added those to the online inventory. The new CHRISTMAS designs and more long sleeved options should be in no later than NEXT WEDNESDAY! Anything ordered today through the weekend will ship priority mail on Monday!

As I mentioned a couple days ago, I’m taking part in Edie’s 12 days of Handmade Tutorials TODAY… and posting my tutorial for a PICNIC BLANKET both here & THERE! She’s had 11 wonderful days of great handmade Christmas ideas, be sure to check them out! If you don’t read Edie’s blog, you should. She’s sweet, smart, humble, and such an encouragement to me. If I lived anywhere near her I’d love for her toΒ  mentor me, as we are theologically like-minded and I imagine we can throw down some coffee and crank out some crafts… all while her sweet girls watch my rovers! πŸ™‚Β  Since I unfortunately live far from Edie, I’m thankful to have the opportunity to check in with her via her blog and glean what I can from her Life in Grace.

When Edie asked me to contribute I knew I wanted to make something using the vintage Marimekko curtain panels that I found at a thrift store over a year ago {for $4} I just wasn’t quite sure what I wanted to do with them. First I planned to make a “Santa Bag” out of them to put the kids Christmas presents in, but it saddened me to think about seeing the bright colored trains only once a year… so something more “useful” was definitely in order, and that is how I came up with this. It would make a perfect gift for your own family or for loved ones!

Here’s a little disclaimer before I begin. I had a friend here while I worked one day {and I just might have put her to work too,Β  trimming selvages and fusing the fleece to the fabric} and she asked, “Darby, please tell me you are not going to tell your blog readers this is easy?” Well, because she’ll call me out if I tell y’all this is easy… I better say it’s an intermediate sewing project that might require a babysitter or helpful husband to watch the kids. There are really no difficult sewing techniques required, it is just a little involved time wise. That way no one cusses me when they think they can crank out a picnic blanket in 30 minutes! Ok, good.

The finished blanket is really BIG {88″ wide x 63″ tall} and perfect for picnics. It has a top layer {trains for me}, a layer of fusible fleece in the middle, and a sturdy layer of {fun & blue} ticking stripe on the bottom and is complete with coordinating ties so it’s easy to transport to and from your favorite picnic spot. You may choose what ever fabric you like but I do suggest something a little more stable {like a lightweight canvas, ticking stripe, or upholstery weight for the bottom}. Be sure to watch sales at your fabric stores because the ticking stripe was 1/2 off and I bought nearly 4 yards for just $16!

Before I start: PINS ladies PINS… they make your sewing neater and easier {especially with layers}… so please don’t omit them! πŸ™‚

Here’s what you’ll need:

3.5 yards of 44″ wide fabric for the top of the blanket {I used trains}

3.5 yards of 44″ wide fabric for the bottom of the blanket {I used blue ticking stripe}

1/4 yard of 44″ wide fabric for coordinating ties {I used red gingham}

3.5 yards of 44″ wide fusible fleece

1: prewash and dry all fabric and trim off selvages
2: Measure down 63 inches on the top piece of fabric and cut all the way across the width. This will leave you with 2 pieces of fabric 63″ x 44″. Do the same with the bottom piece of fabric.
3: Take the two top pieces of fabric and place them on top of each other with right sides together {doing your best to match up any pattern that might be on your fabric, which also might require you to trim the tops and bottoms once you’re all lined up}. Using straight pins pin down one of the {63″} sides {right or left side it doesn’t matter, just don’t stitch along the top or bottom} and straight stitch. Press seam open.
top panel
4: Repeat step 3 for the bottom piece of fabric, doing your best to line up any pattern the fabric may have.
5: Now you should have two pieces of fabric that measure 63″ x 88″, one will be your top and one will be your bottom.
6: Following the instructions on the fusible fleece, iron the fusible fleece to the wrong side of the bottom fabric.

7: Lay the fused bottom fabric and top fabric right sides together– don’t pin and stitch yet… you need to make and insert your ties!

rightsides together

8: To make your ties: First, trim off the selvages on the end. Cut 2 pieces of fabric 4″ x 44″. Fold in half and press. Fold the top down towards your center crease about 3/4″ and press and then press the bottom up 3/4″ and then fold in half again and press. Tuck both ends under and pin all the way down the length of the tie and stitch completely around… both ends should be finished because you will fold your long ties in half when tucked into the blanket seam.

9: Place your ties {folded in half} between the layers of the blanket on the top right hand corner of your fabric measuring down 4.5″ and then place the second folded ties 10.5″ down from the top.

10: Pin the ties in place {they should be lying inside the blanket and the folded edges lined up with the outer edge of the blanket layers}.

11: Pin all the way around the entire blanket, leaving a 5 inch space {for an opening to pull the blanket through on one side} on one side.

12: Using a straight stitch and 1/2″ seam allowance {and a WALKING FOOT if you have one} stitch around the entire blanket {don’t forget to leave an opening to pull it through!!}

13: Trim off corners and cut seam allowances down to 1/4″, pull through opening in side. Now that you’re right side out press all the way around, pinning as you go.

14: Using about a 3/8″ seam allowance top stitch around the entire blanket.

15: Hand or machine stitch the opening where you pulled through because it will gape a little at the edge.

16: Now you will need to tack or tie your layers together. You cannot quilt it at this point so do not attempt to sew straight line stitches through the layers… even with a lot of pins and a walking foot… it is nearly impossible. You will want to place LOTS of safety pins {safety, not straight… they’ll poke you to death, I know because I tried} all over your blanket {being sure to pin all 3 layers together}.

17:Β  Next, before tacking/tying the quilt together I stitched in the ditch down the center seam, this gives you good stability before you tack/tie the rest.
stitch in center ditch

eyelet
18: My machine has a little “eyelet” stitch that is perfect for tacking layers together. You can also tie your blanket layers together at this point if you do not wish to machine tack it together. I put an eyelet stitch in each wheel on the trains {and yes, it took a long time but I am very pleased with how it came out}. If you use a floral fabric or something with a pattern you might can outline random flowers with a straight stitch or use a stitch similar to the eyelet to tack the layers together. Once it’s all tacked together you are complete and ready for your picnic!

    Sadly, I’m afraid I can relate to the “We’re older than we think we are.” statement. That made me laugh when you said you don’t own “mom jeans”! The blanket is just too cute. My boys always want to have picnics. Thanks for the great tutorial! Have a fun weekend hanging out with your old friends. College friends are the best!

    Super Cute Blanket! I’m impressed. Darby Doll is cracking me up enjoying her new pic-nic blanket in style! I will have to check out Edie’s blog. I feel the same way about your blog as you do about hers. I am always inspired by the things you share with us. Have fun at Auburn this weekend!

    1. have fun at the game. Go Auburn! (I’m a miss. state girl, but during our time in Birmingham, we made some awesome friends, all went to Auburn. plus, we’ve never been for “that other team”. 2. I almost spit my coffee out on the pic of Darby doll before step 8. If one was not actually reading this post, they may think for a second that D.Doll is enticing someone to do something dirty on that sweet blanket. πŸ˜‰ 3. The last MSU game we went to —- we went out to all our favorite places afterwards and it was so much fun! It was just like old times…..until…….I asked a college guy to get the bartender’s attention so I could close out our tab. He couldn’t hear me and turned around, leaned in, and said, “Mamm?” GASP! He called me “Mamm”. totally shot my night. I told him that better be something cute they do these days to all the girl. πŸ˜‰

    I can’t believe this and I hope you read this comment because I was born and lived in Venezuela, and my sister and I BOTH had that vintage fabric as curtains in our play room. My grandma made them for us and the minute I saw them on your blog it brought such great memories! What a coincidence.

Also going to be sad about all the co-eds in their cute dresses. Auburn is such a special place! As is ChiO and babyhoots! BUT…enough sad about that! I hope you have a wonderful time in AU with your pledge class. I’ll also being enjoying that reunion. Love the blanket! Love your blog! WAR EAGLE!

    War Eagle, Darby! I too feel as if it was just yesterday that I graced the plains. Oh, I do miss it at times, but thankful where life and God have brought me. I do have a ball whenever we go up for games, but I think I missed the memo that all females MUST wear cowboy boots to the games now! LOL! I must be getting old because all i think about is being comfortable! Love the picnic blanket and what a great gift for a family. I just ordered a wad of Auburn fleece for stadium blankets to give as Christmas gifts. These blankets have been the fav of our house. Now I might have to try a picnic one! Have a great time at the game and help cheer our Tigers on!

    WAR EAGLE!! I am filled with jealousy as I type this because I would love to be in Auburn this weekend for the game…I love Auburn in the Fall…and in the Spring too, or really anytime of year, but Fall may be my fave! I still can’t believe it’s been 15 years since I started my freshman year at Auburn…I feel like I lived those days just yesterday and I too am convinced I just graduated last semester. My Auburn friends are some of my best friends in the world and although I don’t see them often enough it always feels like no time has passed when we gather together on Auburn soil.

    Okay, totally cute tutorial. Since you have been hinting at your affiliation, and the hoot gave it away…… But, I did have to point on thing out. Even though it was probably common place (and maybe even okay) while you were in school, NPC groups don’t use the “baby” terminology anymore. There have been some great posts from national HQ groups about it (I can’t remember if Chi O had one or not, but I know Tri Sigma and Alpha Phi just did) Basically we want our Members to be treated like the young women that they are and calling a group of members “Baby” creates classes of membership and leads to loads of hazing issues. (Okay, getting off my soap box now, but when I look at your sweet daughters faces I would never want them to feel unwelcome in a sorority or not be treated with dignity and respect!)

    My picnic blanket is only demin I bought at IKEA one year I added red polyester knit triangles on all four corner for pockets to put supplies in and/or shoes what ever to weight it down on the ground or on a table at the beach or park. Now I will add ties and a strap to carry it easier. Thanks.

    In steps 2 and 3, why do you cut it in half just to sew it back together again? (if I’m imagining these steps correctly)

    I am making your picnic blanket and am just about to iron on the fusible fleece however, it is not wide enough and too long so I know I have to cut it and attach. Should I sew the 2 fleece pieces together and then iron on or should I just iron on side by side.

    Thank you.

    I’m not sure why but this weblog is loading incredibly slow
    for me. Is anyone else having this issue or is it a issue on my end?
    I’ll check back later and see if the problem still exists.
