Explore the outdoors and picnic in style with this picnic blanket sewing pattern. Make a reversible, quilted blanket that rolls up neatly for your next adventure.

Backpack:

Main Fabric – The exterior needs a heavy weight woven or non-stretch fabric such as canvas, duck, outdoor cloth, or upholstery fabric would work.

Lining Fabric – The interior needs to be a light to medium weight woven fabric. Suitable fabrics include quilting cotton, linen, broadcloth, or something similar.

OPTIONAL Interfacing – The recommended fabric is heavy weight woven, however if you are using a light to medium weight fabric for your main and lining you can add interfacing to all pieces for extra stability. The amount you need will depend on the pieces you are interfacing.

Blanket:

Fabric – You can use any mid- to heavy-weight woven fabric. You could use a water resistant fabric for the back if desired. We recommend quilting cottons to outdoor fabrics.

FAQs

How do PDF/ digital patterns work? Simply download, print, and sew. You’ll need a free Adobe Acrobat reader program and any home printer (or a nearby copy shop for A0 printing). Once you’ve printed the pieces, tape or glue them together. You’ll find an easy-to-follow how-to guide inside the pattern instructions, plus support in our Facebook group.

The trim-free pattern comes in A4 or US letter printable sizes and includes full pattern pieces and a detailed tutorial to guide you every step of the way. An A0 format (pattern pieces only) is also included should you wish to have your pattern printed professionally. PDF Layers allow you to select and print only the size/s you want/ need.

When will I get my patterns? You’ll receive a link to download your patterns immediately after purchase. If you haven’t received it, please check your spam/ junk folder. You can also find your patterns in your ‘My Account’ area..
