Thank you so much for helping us sew Minky blankets for the Children's Hospital!

 

YOUR KIT:

In your kit, you should have:

1) 1 cut of Minky**, 60" x 52" 

2) 1 cut of flannel, 60" x 42"

​

**Please note that the cut edges of Minky are very fragile and

tear very easily. Please be careful when handling the raw edges!

​

TIPS FOR SEWING MINKY:

Before you begin, if you have never sewed with Minky,

please check out these general tips. Minky is slippery to sew,

but it can be done easily with the right approach!

​

PREWASH YOUR FLANNEL:

Before beginning your blanket, you will need to wash and iron your flannel in order to pre-shrink it. DO NOT WASH THE MINKY. Minky will not shrink.
