Description

If you've been to the dentist to get x-rays and have had the protective lead vest placed on your chest, you understanding the pleasant feeling it provides. The pressure of the weight can be calming while providing a sense of security. It's the same feeling provided by a weighted blanket and a major reason why they are so popular today. A weighted blanket, scarf, or vest is a powerful tool that can sooth those with sensory processing or autism spectrum disorders that have trouble sleeping by providing the deep pressure they covet. Like a firm hug, they also provide a safe, non-drug therapy for anyone who is anxious, upset, or on the verge of losing control. As beneficial as they are, weighted blankets can be expensive and, when made by others, don't always reflect your -- or your child's -- design style. With the help of this handy guide from sewing expert Susan Sullivan, anyone can learn to make a weighted blanket for their child, teen, or their own use. It features step-by-step instructions along with photos and illustrations for crafting five fundamental projects: a twin-sized sleeping blanket, a lap pad, an activity blanket, a vest, and a scarf. Also included are applique patterns for personalizing your project and helpful weight and measurement charts that allow you to scale your projects to any size bed or recipient. Best of all, these immensely functional and beneficial projects are not overly complicated and are an ideal starting point for anyone looking to learn how to sew. Read more

  • Helpful book
I guess I was hoping for a little more information for the price, and I made some of my own adaptations (I've been sewing for decades!), but this book will be very helpful for anyone with limited sewing experience who wants to learn to make weighted items.

  • extra item in package
the book was as was expected, however a foil wrapped package was stuck to the back of the book. it has FUNTURBO printed on it and on other side with a barcode is BO7F68FCHD, and below that is PSP Memory Stick A. evidently this was mistakenly included in the package. If you will send me a return label I will send it back. ... show more

Easy peazy! Made my first weighted blanket by just following the instructions. It was great! Hope my grandson likes it. Only down side, all I needed it for was the blanket.

  • Easy to follow well written directions
This is a very good book! I have been wanting to make a weighted blanket for our autistic grandson. It gives very goood directions on how to make the blank, vest, scarves, and lap blankets including how to figure how much weight to add for the person you are making the blanket for.

  • Great for the basics
This is a great book for people who want to know the basics of making weighted blankets! It has just enough detail so you know what you're doing, without being overly complicated.

  • Excellent for children who need a weighted blanket
Fairly simple idea. Gives more specific instructions about amount of beads needed for correct weight of blanket. Considering what these blankets cost to buy, this would be great for anyone with basic sewing skills.

  • Good Tips for Do-It-Yourselfers
This was not quite what I expected, but for the price, I got some good tips that helped me put together a couple weighted items for my granddaughter.
