While this tutorial will work for any type of swaddle blanket, you can purchase double gauze material, hem the edges, and now you have a swaddle! A little cheat that I've found- buy an already-made swaddle (which is what I always do) and embroider it. I purchased all of my swaddles from Sugar House Swaddles (https://creatoriq.cc/48D8CDU)- they're fantastic quality, big (47"x 47"), come in a variety of modern colors, and are inexpensive. I can't buy the fabric and make it for this price, so I purchased it from them. And no... I do not get paid to advertise for them...I just think they're that great! Amazon also has many great swaddles that are 100% organic muslin cotton and inexpensive.
