Tutorial Tutorial: Cute Fleece Blanket for Travel!!

I love it! I am going to have to read several time to understand how to use the piping!

I really want to make one!

 

This is awesome! Nice job, I'm totally gonna end up making one!

 

My fave part ever!

Thank you for posting this! I have been thinking about something like this and your tutorial is great! Thanks!

 

This is a great tutorial and the blankets do look professionally made!

 

Oh! I so wanna make one of these now! yay! ^^ I also LOVE the cotton you used. Where on earth did you find it? Both the prints are really awesome. I love temari balls (have made a few myself) and those little kids are just freaking adorable.

 

Great tute! Thanks for posting! I've made one for my doll I'm saving for, and everything is very clear in the instructions!

 

Wonderful tutorial!
You used the cutest fabric print too xD

 

Aww thats a really simple and cute idea to keep the dolls safe Really like the simplicity of it!

P.S: Lol, when its all wrapped up, it looks like a sandwich wrap...Love it! :P

 

for UK peeps, I bought some lovely cupcake material in Hobbycraft...very sweet lolita!

I have some old blue fleece and I am going to try this, just seen some of that edging stuff!

 

I've been looking at similar doll blankets online and they cost a pretty penny so I was discouraged.

I really want to try this, especially for my incoming yo since he will be my travel doll. Now, if only I was slightly better at sewing xD;

 

Wow, what a cute and great idea! I'll definitely be making one (or more) of these!

 

Wow, i think this is super usefull¡¡¡ I try to made one, i think can put some inside the blanket for made more comfortable for dolls ^_^.

 

Wow.. Lucky you. Those are so cute. I so wish they had a shop like that near me. >.< It's funny, we have a large asian community, but not many asian specific shops...

 

Neat! I'll have to try this

 

Wow! It's adorable~ I hope I'll be able to try and make it soon~

 

Nice idea! I got my first BJD (Volks) only a few months ago and was still figuring out the best way to travel with her.

 

Cute! I'd never even thought of something like this! Hurray for extra padding!

Great idea! This quick inexpensive project has so much gift potential, like other doll friends and baby showers. I like the Japanese prints you used. So sweet.

LOL The doll burrito picture. Just precious.

 

these would make adorable gifts XD
i have a christmas idea for my dollie collecting friends!!!!

the tutorial is very nice btw ^_^
very innovative idea.

 

Awesome idea and tutorial, I'll definitely give this a try when I get a chance!

 

Lovely idea. I'm going to make me one today! If you used 26in for an SD, what would you use for an MSD?

 

his is such a nice tutorial and the blankets you made look so cute. I'll definitely try this out in the future.

 

What a wonderful idea. O:
I travel all the time and I'm always nervous about just having the pillows that came from DOD with them. [And soon I'll have an SD...that I have no idea what he will come with. ;_; ] So thank you! Can't wait to try this so I can stop being paranoid over whether my babies are okay or not. ._.;;

 

I made one for my boy. Found some material that was actually boyish. Apparently I own alot of feminine fabric. But here is a picture of what mine looks like. I'll probably make a couple more for some friends. Great idea! It's soft and my mom has quilting cotton that I can put inbetween the blanket for extra cushioning.

 

This is wonderful idea!!
I travel sometimes with my Fiume, and she has rather big box... so the blanket will be much better for transport. I will make it! Thank you!!!

One stupid question: the red or black fabric - aren't you afraid it can stain doll's face? I recently made a black panties for my doll, she had them on for one day, and it stained her. To line the "corner" with something white or pale might be better, I think.

 

AWESOME!!!! XD
i love it!!!
i'm going to pick up fabric to make one today!!!!
i have to
i don't care if my lovelies will be here in late october...

 

Volks will be selling this exact thing at the Sumika Fair. Have they been spying on this thread?

 

for the SD blanket
what size did you make the triangle???
you never said in the tutorial

EDIT:
nvm i figured it out XD

i'm going to get fabric today
after pre calculus ^_^
i probably won't start it until later this weekend
possibly next week
i got other things to make XP

 

As I said above, I liked the idea so much that I HAD to make the blanket for Fiume
I bought 50cm of cotton flannel (60 cm would be better, but...) 2.5 m of bias stripe, vateline for padding and some cotton fabric I had already at home, so here is the result:

Fiume enjoys her new, soft blanket, and looks forward to travel
Thanks again for the idea!

 

i'm almost done with my first one
i ran out of piping so i have to get more tomorrow -_-
i am NOT a happy camper
i'll post it tomorrow when i finish it ^_^

 

I love this It's too cute! Although I'll probably add some ties to the outside of mine to make it more secure.

 

It realy is cute and it's a very good idea.

 

My darling James now has a travel blanket~!

And I now have a way to use up some of the gazillion yards of fabric I have! I'm making blankets for my girlfriend's dolls, my friend's dolls, plus my dolls! It's great fun~

 

Awesome tutorial and may I say that your Lolita dollfie is super cute! Where did you acquire the OTK and the shoes?

 

Sorry I always seen to think everyone knows the short term for everythin Lolita -_-;. OTK is the over the knee socks but thanks for telling me where to find them

 

So I thought I'd give this a try cause I really needed something to put her in when I travel, besides her bulky box. I hand sewed this cause the power cord for my sewing machine is missing.

Here are my fabrics, I love them to death. Instead of going with a solid fleece color, I went with a small striped fleece.


This is what it looks like finished. I forgot to buy piping, but I like how it came out without it anyway.


This is Ishi, my girl whom the blanket is for.


She's enjoying her new travel blanket!


I used a piece of scrap ribbon that I happened to have, thanks to Malvinas! It matched perfectly and it makes it easier to keep the blanket around her so I don't have to worry about readjusting it.


any suggestions, or comments would be appreciated! And thank you so much for the tutorial!

 

aw she looks so cute!!!
nice touch with the ribbon
hmmmm
i would try finding a way to sew it one though
so you don't lose it

 

EEEE! thank you! that's a good suggestion, I'll do that.

 

Thanks for providing this tutorial, I was looking for a blanket to use on my doll's "bed" but I think I'll make him one of these instead now. I always worry about him whe he's travelling in my bag, even with cushions and face-protector.
Thank you! If I get one made, I'll link to some pictures for you if you'd like... it looks like a very useful thing to have.

 

This is lovely, I think I'm going to make one

 

Argh, what a terrible phone camera photo, sorry about that! I just made it, and was so excited to snap a picture that I couldn't even wait to iron it and take out my proper camera.

Here's my CH Ange Ai Uri sitting on her new blanket and thanking you for the tutorial! It was quite easy to follow, even for a total beginner like me. (My sewing machine came in on Tuesday this week!)

I used pink flannel and a cherry print cotton for my blanket. I didn't buy trimming as nothing caught my eye at the store I was at, and I was too impatient to visit other stores for nice trimming.

I might try it again, as the pocket is too small to completely cover her face! Must be something that I'm doing wrong about the thing. :\ but this will do for now, I was having a headache trying to figure out how to carry her around for the moment.

 

these are all so cute!! I love the pics with their faces peeping out

 

What measurements do you reccomend for a DOI doll? He's 70cm.

 

Thanks for the idea and thanks for the how to pics!

 

Wow this is great, I'm going to have to do this soon!

 

muahaha.
step by step is my friend.
sankyuuuu~~~
