I started this project last winter, I thought it would be easy to just sew up the edges of one of Kenny's blanket throw in a zipper.
I started with the blanket, a "for sports wear" zipper, "heavy duty" thread, and a foam mattress pad.
I then cut the seamed edges off the blanket. Which turned out to be a big mistake because the sewing machine kept getting caught on the cheap fleecy blanket, I think that this wouldn't have happened on the seam.
I turned it inside out and pinned the edges. Placing the zipper in one of the short ends. Kenny wanted to know what I was doing to his blanket. Look how little he was!!!
Sorry for the crappy photo I was just glad to be done.
I ended up hand sewing the entire thing.
I was so determined to finish this project that I forgot I was attempting to get the Boston Red Sox B on the top and the long seam on the bottom.
All I did after this was to double over the foam and cut it to size.
Kenny loves it, he sleeps on it every night next to our bed.
