(Do not make ties for adult lapghans)
If sewing lapghans, please use flame retardant
material for children. Also, it would also be helpful
to add ties to two corners of children's lapghans, at
least 24-25” so they can be tied on (tied behind the
wheelchair seat)
Sewing instructions are for most fabrics. If using a
double ply, such as fleece, you only need to make
1. If you want to make an extra thick lapghan, you
can double the fleece if you wish.
