Tutorial: Hooded swaddle blankets for baby and doll

Sherri from Thread Riding Hood shares a tutorial at Sew Sisters Quilt Shop showing how to make a hooded swaddle blanket. She makes it from a double gauze, which is light and breathable. Her post at Sew Sisters Quilt Shop gives the dimensions to make one for a baby. A post on her own blog gives the dimensions to make one for a doll. You can make BOTH out of just 1 meter of fabric.
