and the only one which is even vaguely trying, so don't let it discourage you from going any further. You need to cut your jersey cotton so that you have two even square metres. It's tricky because the jersey cotton tends to roll at the edges making it a little difficult to measure or get a straight edge. I tried a couple of different methods but concluded the best option is to make a pattern using tissue paper. So, I'd recommend doing just that -a one square metre pattern and cut it out. Lay your first piece of cotton on a large table or floor, making sure you have no wrinkles or creases. Gently place the pattern on top and pin in place, making sure not to stretch or bunch the cotton underneath. Mark your square then remove your pattern. At this stage I checked the measurements with a ruler though you can of course use your measuring tape too. Cut out your fabric and then repeat with the other piece of cotton. STEP TWO Now that you have your two square metres of cloth, it's time to pin them together. Using plenty of pins and again making sure not to stretch or bunch the fabric, pin the two sides of your blanket with the wrong sides together. I pinned close to the edge and it helped prevent any rolling and made sure to pin right in the corners as well. STEP THREE This is the fun bit and where
