I have some very exciting news for you! You know those fabulous Aden + Anais swaddling blankets that you just HAD to have for your baby but only if your random rich relative bought them for you? Well, Hobby Lobby is now stocking the gauzy fabric that they are made out of in a bunch of different colors for $6.99 a yard! That translates to about $4 a yard with the 40% off coupon.
This was originally going to be a tutorial, but when I realized the tutorial sounded like this: buy a yard of fabric and then hem the edges...I decided the tutorial was needed not.
I will offer up a few quick pointers, however. The fabric is 52" wide, so if you want a complete square, then you will want to buy 52" and not a yard. For your hem, simply iron a thin fold along one edge and then fold it over again and iron it again. Do the same thing with the opposite side and sew both edges. Then go back to your iron and fold the remaining edges and then sew those. Now, granted Hobby Lobby doesn't stock any fun prints, but I think the colors are way cuter than the white Aden + Anais ones. Have fun!
