No sew polar fleece blankets...its all in the tie.
How to make a comfy polar fleece tie blanket for a toddler. You need two different pieces of ploar fleece. I use 1 1/2 yards each of fabric that compliments each other. I lay then on top of each other and trim them so they are the same size. From this point on...whenever you have to do any cutting you will be cutting though both layers of fabric at the same time. The result should be matching fringe. They are very easy to make and kids love them...if you can keep them away from the adults.
Lay the two pieces of polar fleece on top of each other on the floor or a large table where you have plenty of room to work your way around the blanket with out disturbing it. Cut off any excess blanket so that you have two of the same size matching up as close as possible. I flipped back the top piece so you can see the contrasting pieces better.
