How To Wash Minky Baby Blanket. Well, you could always take along a diy minky baby blanket. Sew a ½” seam around the edge except for the 6” gap.
Still using the cotton fabric, you can trim the 10 inches off of the minky and make a blanket 36 x 44 and spend a little less money on fabric. Add a satin border to the finished product, to give it that plush look. Our plush minky blankets are the ideal gift for babies and parents alike.
Stick your arm into the hole you created in.
The first thing you need to do before you start your blanket is to wash your fabric. Lay your cotton blanket panel on your minky right sides together making sure your minky hangs out around all edges. Putting heat on the blanket will melt the blanket's fibers together and your blanket will lose its softness. Stitch all the way around the binding as close as possible to the folded edge.
