TEDDY BEAR BLANKET
You’ll need:
-two yards of fabric
I went with a knit and a soft baby fleecy stuff (anyone have a better term for this stuff?), both from JoAnn Fabrics eta: Lisa Marie says it's Minky. Which I should totally know since it's used sometimes in cloth diapers. I guess I didn't recognize it w/out waterproof backing!
- Teddy Bear PDF pattern (there are 7 total pages, make sure to get them all)

- Teddy Bear PDF pattern (there are 7 total pages, make sure to get them all)
Piece and tape pattern together as indicated by the amazingly clear letter and dot method I put on it
Cut out pattern. Place on the fold of each yard of material. Cut.
Pin both teddy bear fabric pieces together, right sides facing
Sew 1/4 inch in all around, leaving a three-four inch gap for turning later.
At ever corner you need to cut in to release some of the tension on the fabric. Make sure to only cut UP TO the stitches, and NOT the stitches themselves.
Turn through gap. Make sure to pull out all the ears and whatnot.
Turn the raw edges of the gap in, matching the seam allowances around it. Pin all around
Top stitch 1/8 inch in all around the entire blanket
And you are done!
Hand it to a baby (or toddler if no baby is readily available), pretend to take them on a walk, and watch them cuddle and love their new little stroller blanket.
Then quickly take it away before they get something on it and you can no longer gift it to someone else in good conscience.
I hope to have a rocket pattern and a flower pattern up soon to go along with this. I had a flower pattern all ready to go, but once I started cutting it out, found out it wasn’t quite right. But I’ll let you know when they are ready for downloading.
ETA 5/12: They're ready! Flower and Rocket here.

DO NOT PRESS CUDDLE BUMPS! You will press the bumps right out of it."

That is way too stinkin' cute!!!
That baby fleecey stuff is Minky. And actually, the bumpy one? It's called Cuddle Bumps. But it's still Minky. :o)
