buy the material and then take it to a woman to have her hemstitch around the two pieces of flannel. Or you could go to the fabric store and buy flannel already put together with the hemstitching.Wellllll here you ask about hemstitching and they scratch their heads.
Our new RS president wants to do baby blankets for the newborns in our ward. I went and found a needle that does leave holes in cotton but not in FLANNEL. Sooooo Dad being like he is, he helped me. I cut the flannel to size and then I put double sticky tape in between the layers of flannel and then when I make the holes they stay open because of the tape. I was basting the layers together and then taping on top but it was to hard to get the tape off after you crocheted around the edge.
So I have done one blanket and I have two ready for some women in the ward and need to find backs for two other pieces of flannel.
I think the blanket turned out okay, hopefully I don't get the other two back to do. It is still hard to get a crochet hook in the small small holes.

Fabric is really really expensive too. I was wondering if there is somewhere online that you could buy the fabric already to go? Just a thought, it sure would make it easier.
I have found a place in Washington or Idaho, I can't remember that has fabric ready to go but it is expensive and then you are dealing with shipping.
You can also send your fabric to them to do and it costs about 5 dollars but then again you are dealing with shipping costs.
