3051 - Personal Snuggle Blanket
Genevieve Belmaker
Belmaker Blankets
You don't have to watch a movie at home under some ugly, thin blanket! You can have exactly what you want in terms of how your snuggle blanket looks and feels, and without much effort. Learn about the importance of using natural materials like cotton, and the role that American sewers played in the mid-20th century in ensuring that cotton batting survived the introduction of polyester.
They go everywhere you do, and because they are made of cotton and can be used year-round for sleeping.
We'll practice incorporating upcycled cotton materials, learn the three perfect snuggle blanket sizes, and explore embellishments, specialty fabric incorporation, and fabric painting. Most importantly, we'll learn how to craft a final product that will stay beautiful for years, even after much use and many rounds in the washer and dryer.
