DIY Satin Bound Gauze Blanket

DIY Satin Bound Gauze Blanket

Real talk- I never thought I'd actually use Satin binding on a blanket because, quite frankly, that sounds worse than going to the dentist.   Then my littlest, Emerson, attached to a tiny lovey one he had.   So of course with all of Ambers amazing prints on double gauze, I knew it had to be done.  To my very happy surprise, it's actually way easier than I thought!! I figured I'd share a little tutorial.  I'm not an expert by any means but my kid loves them and everyone who has gotten one as a gift does too!  Supplies-   Double Gauze,  Pre-made...

What do I do with this Gauze!?!

What do I do with this Gauze!?!

So by now, you've all seen this gorgeous gauze floating around Rockerbye land (which, by the way, gets softer with every wash),  but what do you do with it!?!  Well, most of what you've seen I'm sure is the awesome wash clothes and blankets it makes but there is so much more to do with it!   Let's start with blankets though-  There are quite a few different ways to make blankets from this gauze,  It can be as simple as serging around a square and you are good to go!  You can make it double sided and then turn and...

A Squishy Jolly Roger Raglan

Squish, Squishy, Cozy, Soft, Stretchy, Amazing, Squishy, Cuddly, Warm, Snuggly, Squishy...... Just a few things to describe the amazing SQUISH!  Anyone who has been lucky enough to touch the squish is seriously obsessing over it.  THANK YOU AMBER FOR BRINGING THIS INTO OUR LIVES!!! Now- the amazingness that is squish is hard to portray in photos honestly.  They just don't do it justice, but I'm going to do my best!  What is squish?  Well, think minky mashed with double-brushed poly.  It has all the softness and squishy pile of minky with the stretch and finished backside of double brushed poly.  It's...
