Tutorial: Minky-backed baby blanket
Lara from How Does She? shows how you can make this Minky-backed baby blanket. A quilting cotton is used for the front. You can find quilting cottons in just about any style or color palette, so you’re sure to find one that’s absolutely perfect for your blanket. This would make an excellent gift for a new parent!

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!
It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.
Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
