How to Make a Self-Binding Sherpa Fleece Blanket

• PRE-WASH and DRY the cotton fabric before cutting. Do not pre-wash the Sherpa Fleece • - Purchase SHERPA Fleece in most fabric shops and online: I love this blanket because it’s SO soft, it’s easy to make, and looks totally high-end and professional when you’re done. It’s the best! Backed with very soft sherpa fleece, the fleece folds over to bind the edges of the blanket--which is a great technique for any blanket or quilt. I’ll show you some tricks for getting perfect mitered corners as well. You’re going to fall in love with this blanket.
