To make a differently-shaped head hole, cut a shape into your folded fabric centered at the midpoint of the folded edge.

Slide the fabric into the pocket and hand stitch it in place. Cut out a pocket shape from the fabric, hold it against the shorts and adjust the size accordingly.ġ0. Trim the edges of the fabric to the edge of the stitching.ĩ.
#BLANKET PONCHO PRO#
Using a needle and thread, hand stitch the curve of the pocket (unless you are pro with a sewing machine).Ĩ. Use the sewing machine to sew the two straight sides of the fabric - the bottom edge, and the top straight edge near the belt loops. The rest of the fabric will be easy to trim away later.Ħ. When pinning, first align the curve of the fabric to the pocket of the shorts. Use Fray Check on the ends to keep them from fraying.ĥ. Add a half-inch border to your pattern because the fabric will fray.Ĥ. Place your pattern on the material and cut it out. Using your hands and a pen, feel the creases of the shorts and create a paper pattern.ģ. Place a piece of paper over one side of the shorts. Our shorts were rolled up, but we didn't want that as part of our design, so we unrolled them and cut them to our desired length.Ģ. Finally, cut through the loops at the bottom of the tassel and trim to your desired length.ġ. Cut another piece of rope, secure it to the looped rope with hot glue, and wrap it around the loop tightly so all of the strings stay together. Cut a small piece of rope to loop through the rope and tie it at the top. Wrap the rope around four fingers at least 20 times.
#BLANKET PONCHO FREE#
We used a thin glossy rope, but feel free to use any type of embroidery floss, rope, or cord. Hand sew the opening together using a whip stitch. Turn the case inside out and stuff your pillow inside!Ħ.

#BLANKET PONCHO PLUS#
Sew around three sides of the pillowcase plus halfway across the fourth side, making sure to sew all four corners so the tassels are attached.ĥ. The tassels should face the inside of the pillowcase.Ĥ.

We measured 20 inches and cut our fabric into a 22 x 22-inch square.ģ. Measure your pillow to determine the dimensions of your pillowcase. Make three more tassels for a total of four.Ģ. Once it is tightly wrapped and glued, cut the loops on the bottom to form fringe. Using the hot glue, wrap and secure a two inch piece of rope around the body of the loop. Cut a small piece of rope and tie a knot through the loop you created.

Make a tassel by wrapping the rope around your fingers at least 20 times.
