I was scrolling through TH-cam and I happen to see this tutorial. I rewatched it again just to get my Melanie fix. She was such an inspiration both as a woman and as a teacher for her sewing and crafting skills.
Was?
@@serenalinn, yes, sadly, she died of cancer just over a year ago.
Same here. I am going to sew my grandson a blanket and I knew to come check our Melanie's TH-cam to get the best DIY vlog! I miss her videos so much. She was so good at explaining things. She is greatly missed.

First video of Melanie’s I watched to make a baby blanket for my daughter. Then I watched Melanie quilt and tried it myself. I’ve now made dozens of quilts for my friend and family to enjoy. Wouldn’t have happened without Melanie. Her legacy is seriously everywhere! You are so missed Melanie!
I always watch this when I'm making baby blankets. WE miss you Melanie !!!! God bless your family.
I’m about to make a baby blanket gift and this popped up in my suggested videos. It’s one of the first videos of yours I saw. I hope you’re at peace resting in heaven Melanie. ❤️
Oh goodness....Melanie. I miss you. Thankyou for your legacy of teaching and sweetness. You were a pioneer for me it my quest to learn how to sew and I will forever be grateful. 😇
I have been making this type of blanket for years only I use cotton fabric on one side and baby flannel on the other. Since I make so many I made a test wash of both fabric with there being a cotton blend and there was no shrinkage with JoAnn Brand baby fabric. If you are making for a gift you can sew lace around the edges before you sew the two fabrics together, or sew rickrack or other trim around a boys blanket. Back in the 70's we called these summer quilts since they are light weight. Put the the flannel next to baby on cool evenings and cotton on warm days. This was before the minky fabric came out, minky was a remake of chenille fabric. Your blankets are cute as can be and I am glad to see the younger moms learning to sew. Thanks for sharing, going to share with my grand daughter she is learning to sew and make quilts.
I buy the width of the fabric, so if it is 42 inches wide, I buy 42 inches so it will be squared. I put lace around the edges rather than binding unless it is for a little boy, still just sew edge to edge and put rick/rack or make a binding from some cut fabric bias. but not binding, just a strip to add originality. We called them summer blankets 50 years ago. I do the same thing with little quilts, no batting, just solid backing to quilted top. They can be used for babies or lap blankets for the elderly. My special orders start at $25., but I do sell some for $15 if made from scraps/left over fabrics. If I put monogram on them it is extra.
It's nice to see Melanie Ham sharing her knowledge for FREE. It's not nice to use Melanie' space here to sell your stuff. Thumbs down for you Grandma!
I was answering Jordan Bakers post about the fabric, how much it costs, etc. She asked me the question. Read the post. I do not sell on the internet...If I do a special blanket it is for craft shows. Shame on you.
Maybe you should learn to read before you put your foot in your mouth. G.H never mentioned a thing about selling anything. Grow up little girl and let the big girls play.
Carina J that's what you call advertising but true
I come across Melanie's videos so often when looking up projects and I have made several of her projects. She did so much good in this world and continues to do so. Bless the Ham family. 💞
Fantastic, Thank you. Grandbaby is due the end of January and I'm starting my sewing now that Christmas is over. I will be using this tutorial for her baby blankets!!! Lovely and simple
I have been sewing for 5 years now. Learning from videos like this one. Thank you for loading and sharing this with all of us. I will post when I am done. Super excited to show you all.
You really are truly Missed. RIP sweet Angel x
Melanie, your instructions and descriptions are so easy to follow. I learnt to crochet following your instructions and made a simple baby blanket, first time ever. Thank you!!
Made two of these the other day for my twins on the way, while my two year old was sleeping ... It was really easy I was surprised I'm not a very good sewer at all but they don't look half bad :-) I'm so excited for them them to arrive and use them :-)
Rest in Peace Melanie, thank you for everything you shared with us!
I have made many baby blanket gifts using Melanie's tutorial. Such a wonderful teacher!
When you don’t have a baby and you’re here because you’re sewing a new blanky for your bearded dragon
That’s really cute!
This is actually what I do for a living. :)
Literally me doing the same but for my puppy 😂
Same but for my cat 😂
Hahaha! Same....except for my dogs ☺️
I have made 2 now and they have both turned out great!!! Super easy project and if you make little mistakes you can't tell!!!! I will definitely be making more in the future. Keep the great and easy sewing tutorials coming.
Hi Melany, congrats to over 300,000 TH-cam audience. I'm one of them ever since Jan. 16 when I learned my son & wife are expecting boy & girl twins on June. I saw this tutorial and decided to challenge and now, I'm hooked. Thank you. Keep up your good work with your smile.
I watched your video yesterday, bought fabric and made two baby blankets. Thank you for posting Melanie
Hi Melanie, great videos, and you've inspired me so much to do quilts, you make everything look so easy! Thank you and God keep you safe.
Melanie is so easy to understand and follow. I made a sweet blanket for my great granddaughter 😄
I have not sewn for a year and wanted to start again by sewing baby blankets as gifts for Mom's to be. Your video was easy to follow and gave me the confidence to sew again. Thank you.
Thanks to you, I just sewed my first baby's blanket, for my baby I am expecting in March :)
Love your tutorials. Easy to follow and quick to the point. Thanks
I made these blankeys for my cousins babies and made sure to include care instructions for the minky. I had a friend learn the hard way what happens when you iron minky...no more dots. :/ I also bought enough to make myself a blanket like this...but, as usual...ive yet to make it. LOL I seem to come last. HA!! It is super easy and makes a super nice blanket for babies.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING, you are right...easiest blanket ever!

What a fun project! I'm a beginner and made this for my sister in law who is having a baby soon. I realized that I need some practice on sewing straight lines but other than that I think I did well for my first time! Thanks so much for posting this video, I'm looking forward to doing more of your projects.

I crochet a lot (still learning) and with some of the projects I do I sew in a lining. I really want to ask my hubby for a sewing machine next :)

Thank you sooo much for the vid! When you don’t know how to so, I couldn’t understand how this would work after turning right side out. So obvious. Great vid

Thank you for your tutorial. Thanks to you, I made my one and only baby niece a receiving blanket today!! I've never sewn before this video. It turned out great! 😊
+Caty Krauter nice job!! Making things for loved ones is the best!!
Timeless as Melanie, her videos always bring joy and great ideas. Wonder what she is creating with her Creator in heaven? ✨Prayers continue for her husband, son, daughter and extended family.
Thank you for not being boring!
I love her videos! She is dearly missed ❤
I still watch these videos. Beautiful person.
I made this blanket today, I used fleece and cotton fabric in a Mickey Mouse theme using your instructions and I think it came out great. Thank you Melanie :)
The best minky blanket tutorial!
Rest In Peace Melanie💕. I’m happy I found this tutorial it was incredibly helpful
Thank you!!! Mine turned out really nice and I made a matching lovey!! I also wanted to know if you prewashed the Minky?
Thank you for making it simple!!!! I loved your video.

Oh girl we miss you so much this world sad with out you in it
I love it very easy will make one real sooo. Thanks for demo.
Love your easy projects..new at sewing
Flannel and polar fleece. One for a baby and one for my queen size bed. Channel quilted every 4 inches or so. Nice and warm
Will definitely hand sew this! I don't have a sewing machine and I honestly have no idea how they even work. Lol. My Mom use to make us clothes and stuff all the time. She knows how to use the sewing machine. I never asked her to teach me. I have always done it by hand. I love it but to wish to learn one day so I can actually make clothes and stuff. Thank youuuu!
Great pattern ! Thanks! From Missouri!
I love to make easy baby blankets like this. When I have time I iron the opening after pinning to make it sew close easier.
This is sooo cute! Thanks for a great idea!
Great video, I am making it for my first baby cousin (I’m 11 and have always been the youngest so I am very excited)
Thank you ! I a def trying this out !
I am making my little girls (18m, 4y, 5y, 6y) fleece blankets for Christmas, but I couldn't remember how to trim the corners before turning right-side-out. Thanks for this tutorial! Helped my end product be more awesome than it would have been!
Thank you! This is perfect!
Hey guys it’s Melanie breaks my heart every time.
Rest in peace, Melanie - still using your tutorials
I learnt today about her passing. My condolences. May she rest in peace. It was this video where i got the courage to sew baby blankets. Thanks
Thanks, it's so cute. I love your channel. 😊
I just made this and it turned out great! THANK YOU for helping me gain confidence with my sewing skills. Your videos are THE best, and I look forward to making more things with your help. I even shared this link with my FB sewing group along with a photo of my finished baby blanket. Thanks so much!
Great instructions, thank you!
Hi! I'm so new to sewing and this baby blanket is so cute! I can't wait to make it. Have you ever made one with batting?
I do this with 2 pieces of flannel. Two prints that go together or a print and a solid. Same procedure to sew them together . Turn right side out and top stitch around and close up the opening used for turning.
Julia Mason perfect!
Such a wonderful young woman. She is truly missed.
So cute! Two friends are expecting twins, so perfect!
Thank you!!! This was so easy and I appreciate all the detailed instructions
Yes, gonna make one for my grandson, quick and easy
Love the tutorial but what keeps the back and front from separating? I’m a quilter so I’m so used to quilting the layers together. Does this not separate? Thank you
I don't sew but I watched this video anyways! I love your videos, just patiently awaiting your next crochet tutorial :D
Looks soo cozy will have to try it!
Great tutorial! Thank you.
Great blanket video.
