If you need clarification, email the team: stoke@bbc.co.uk *** The instructions have been written by Gwen. She is a professional sewer and has written these easy instructions so that this pattern can be made by a real novice (me). They can be made on a basic sewing machine, a zigzag stitch would be useful. Christine These handy blankets can be used in various sizes: 24" x 24" are used in the delivery suite, post natal wards, and neonatal ward 18" x 18" are used in the delivery suite and on the neonatal ward 15" x 15" are used in the delivery suite and the neonatal ward 12" x 12" are used in the delivery suite and the neonatal ward 8" x 8" and 6" x 6" are used for very early losses, on the gynaecology ward, and delivery suite Sizes 12" to 24" can be made with fine towelling, or with fine towelling/cotton to make them reversible. Sizes 6" and 8"can be made similar or with cotton/satin, and lace added if wished. Please only use pale colours for these sizes. Cut out two squares of suitable fabric (fine towelling, flannelette, etc.) Cut two further squares approx. 录 of the size. Fold the small square in 陆 to form a triangle. Right sides facing, stitch down the long side. Turn right side out and lock stitch. Take the larger squares. Put 1st square down, with right side facing. Put triangle into corner, corners matching. Place other square on top, right side facing down. Pin if you wish. Starting at the bottom edge, stitch all the way round, leaving a gap of 3" to 5" depending on which size you are making. Turn the blanket to the right side, by pulling through the gap. Top stitch, close to the edge, all the way round, turning in the material to hide the gap Use lock stitch, zigzag or fancy stitch. Things to remember: Keep everything as smooth as possible, stitching, edges, material etc. Babies have very tender skin, especially the tiny 1lb plus babies in the neonatal wards. Neutral colours are always best as the suit baby boys or girls. |
