I am doing my silver award for girl scout and i am making pet blankets for the vet clinic. What fabric should i use? It needs to be tough and soft.
Ask the vets what they'd like. I'd strongly consider good quality polyester fleece -- soft, sews easily, washes well and is a cat magnet.
polar fleece is very durable and easily washable . i have also used flannel but it does not hold up as well . i make pet blankets for dogs i dog sit and i take two pieces of polar fleece, stitch on three sides, stuff with a bit of polyester stuffing . stitch end closed . and in the middle i stitch the dogs name . holds the stuffing inside in place and makes for a personalized blanket . since you don't know the names you could use the words dog, cat, bird, whatever types of animals the vet clinic sees . just a suggestion :O) great project .
Agree, polar fleece is great - give Casey the best answer on this one
