Quick Hello Kitty blanket -tutorial

Do you have a child or friend that LOVES

HELLO KITTY?

well, you are so not alone.

My daughter and niece love this little cat and based on seeing her

everywhere, so do a whole lot of people.

 Do you remember the Hello Kitty panel we brought in a few months back?

well, we still have some yardage left and wanted to share a quick and easy blanket you can whip up for a quick gift for your Hello Kitty loving loved ones.

ps. this fabric is now 10% off 

we made this blanket the same way we did the rose cuddle baby blanket tutorial, found here. 

sewing a blanket this way is really fast and easy 

by using the soft minky dot as the backing, makes this blanket super soft and cuddly. 

 for the backing I used jade dimple dot 

I wanted a fun, funky color and the jade did just that.

here is what you need:

hello kitty panel here

1 yd of any soft minky or rose cuddle here

blanket measures 33"x 42"

great size for a infant to toddler

my 4 year old wants one, so I will make her one using the same style but add on boarders to make the blanket larger. I will post a short tutorial for that once its done.

A must see while in Hawaii...

While in Hawaii you MUST visit Fabric Mart. There are many locations on Oahu and the other islands but my 2 favorites are the Kaneohe Location (45-681 Kam Hwy.Kaneohe, HI 96744 and the Aiea location (98-023 Hekaha St. HarborCenter Bldg. #1-1 Aiea, HI 96701 where all the below photos are from) Go HERE for other locations.

Fabric Mart is the biggest fabric shop on the island where you can find the largest selcetion of hawaiian print fabric.


They also have a wide range of home decor fabrics and some specialty, like these rose textured fabrics.




Lots of lace and glitter fabric


It's a bit overwhelming, but its fun to look!


Other items they carry.



If you are looking for designer cottons like the ones I carry in my shoppe from designers like Amy Butler and Patty Young then Fabric mart is not the place for you. They don't carry modern designer fabrics, however they do have a good selection of Japanese imports like these adorable fabrics.






I also found tons of different prints in the popular Hello Kitty brand, so cute I want to get some for my shoppe.



While on your trip to Hawaii take some time out from the beach and head on over to one of the many locations and have fun looking!
