Earlier this year I was introduced to waterproof cotton fabrics: oilcloth and laminate. I have instantly fallen in love with laminated cottons. One of my first projects with laminated cotton was to make a self-binding blanket that can be rolled up and used as a picnic blanket with one side a waterproof cotton and the top side as flannel. I used Amy Butler Laminate Cotton, but I also know that Riley Blake has a great choice of laminated fabric. For my flannel top, I used Riley Blake flannel.
Our blanket is large:
- 4 yards of 52″ flannel (cut 2 rectangles 31″ x 44″ and sewed the shorter edges together to create a blanket 62″ x 44″)
- 4 yards of 54″ laminated cotton (cut 2 rectangles 36″ x 54″ and sewed the shorter edges together to create a blanket 72″ x 54″
