Before we list off a few creative ways to utilize minky fabrics in your sewing projects, we’d like to explain a bit about minky fabrics in general, and why it is the chosen material here at Minky Mamas. Minky is a unique type of microfiber plush fabric that is 100% polyester. Minky fabric is most comparable to a quality fleece while being at once softer, thicker, and warmer. We’re proud of our products—which are constructed of the highest quality minky fabrics—that end up in blankets that are durable, versatile, incredibly warm, and color fade-free. Minky fabric’s incredible softness makes it especially suited in the construction of baby blankets, clothing, and accessories: and, of course, our “Mini Minky” sized blankets are indeed the perfect fit for your little ones. However, we at Minky Mamas also believe that every one of us, regardless of our respective ages, deserves to be wrapped up in the cloud-like softness of a quality minky fabric blanket. As such, our blankets range from “Mini” to “Minky Mama” sized!
Minky fabrics are so versatile, in fact, that they can be used in a myriad of sewing projects; both in ways you’d expect and in others that might surprise you. We’re especially excited to spotlight some minky fabric sewing projects that aren’t too difficult for even a novice to produce, are functional and long-lasting, and are beautiful to look at, too. Read on for some mink-spiration!
