    thanks Maz....

    i would love to give making covers a go... but have NO clue where to start... and at the moment have NO over locker....but would love to make a pull on cover if you get my drift...i have a good sewing machine and am quite confident with that.. so we shall see.

    It is gorgeous material!!!! i think i shall just keep it for me to pet....

    Kat - I wonder if you NEED an overlocker if you make a cover with an outer of minky & an inner of fleece? All you would have to do is zigzag 'em together & then turn it right side out...??? Just an idea as that's what I did with my sleeping bag effort.

    I agree Maz - I made THREE trips to SL in the last week & now how tonnes of material (clearance shiat lol) that I don't know what to do with... or what made me buy it in the first place!

    Got the other half of my mama mail too - again 'tis cute.

    ETA: Kat, there is a pretty good/easy looking free pattern for pull on fleece covers around if you do a bit of a google.

    Fj - i sent a PM to Melham the other week with no reply.
    She is working 3-4 days a week now i think in her new job. so perhaps not much time left to be on BB


    Saram, Arimeh and Christy - thanks for a fun morning. Ashley is asleep and exhausted lol. I feel a little that way too!

    katones - woohoo on the minky... do you have a cover you can copy from... reverse engineer perhaps?
