Why plush and cotton?

Minky Plush - Microfiber. Soft, gentle, pleasantly falls on the body. Warm, breathable, the baby will be warm, but not sweat.

100% polyester. Many consider this a guarantee of poor quality. Modern technology is constantly evolving, so synthetic material is no worse than natural, and in some ways even better. There is no unpleasant smell, and also it does not absorb environmental smells.

The material is very dense, so it will be difficult to tear or rub. Also not wrinkled, easily tolerates stains. You can wash it at least every week, while it does not lose its saturated flowers, its softness and tenderness.

Quality plush - American production. But suitable material from European, Chinese and Korean factories.

Cotton - natural, hypoallergenic. Excellent breathable, allowing the skin to breathe. Absorbs 20% of moisture, remaining dry. A variety of colors and prints provides a choice to your taste.

Manufacturers of high-quality cotton - American, Korean, Polish factories. Suitable also cotton European, Chinese production.

How to sew summer and winter rug from plush minky for a child?

First you need to wash the cotton fabric in warm water. As a result of washing, the plaid can change its size, so it is better to let only the cotton deform, otherwise the plaid will be disfigured.

Sizes for baby blanket:

• 100 × 100 cm;
• 100 × 110 cm;
• 100 × 120 cm

You can make a smaller blanket, but then it will not last long, because children grow very quickly.

1. Lay out plush on a flat surface.Measure out the required size, cut off the excess. We perform the same actions with cotton fabric.
2. We fold two types of fabric together, with the front sides inward. Since plush stretches well, it’s better to pin its edges to the edges of the cotton with pins.
3. We make a draft or immediately stitch on a typewriter with a usual seam, departing from the edge of 5-10 mm. You need to leave somewhere around 15 cm in order to have a hole through which you can turn the product on the front side.
4. Turning the cover on the front side, you need to sew up the hole with a secret seam by hand or on a typewriter.

You sewed with your hands a light blanket that warms the baby during the cool summer nights. It should do the same for the cold weather, it will be different density, therefore, will retain more heat and warm the baby. The principle of production is the same, only it is necessary to add a synthetic winterizer.

1. Cut out equal pieces of padding polyester, cotton and plush minky.
   

   Put the fabric on a flat surface, smooth it, pin the pattern to it with pins and cut out

   We put the details on each other: synthetic winterizer, plush, soft side up and the third layer - cotton, face down

3. Stabbing the edges with pins, stitching with a regular seam, retreating 1 cm. Leaving 20 cm unstitched.
   

   Three layers of plaid, chipped with pins

   

   Stitch on the machine, retreating from the edge of about 1 cm

4. Through the resulting hole, we twist the blanket, sew the unprobered place manually.
   

   We leave the slot 15-20 cm so that you can turn the blanket on the front side

5. Since inside the padding polyester, several fabrics should be stitched along the outside. A synthetic winterizer can slide down during washing, causing some inconvenience, and multiple stitches will help fix it.
   

   We turn on the front side and we pin the remaining slot with pins, we sew it on our hands

   

   Weave the rug with pins on the edges
