Making a receiving or swaddling blanket for newborns
#3
Most receiving blankets I've seen in stores are just one layer sort of like cotton flannel.
If you do two layers, keep them both very light.
Birthing??? You've been watching Eleanora Burns, haven't you? She makes such a big deal about birthing. I just stick my hand in, grab the corner farthest from the hole and pull the thing inside out.
If you do two layers, keep them both very light.

My friend makes these all the time for new babies and for donations to local NICUs. The NICU blankets are smaller. She often uses the envelope method and then just sews a big X across it and top stitches the edge to make it look finished. She also has a serger and sometimes uses it to finish the edges instead of birthing. Her gifts are very popular & much requested around here.
