ive got the same minkee thanx to FJ Mauws hon
you can make so much with it...a nice minkee wrap for Jack...some covers too, an outter layer on your nappies
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.
WOPB: BBH & "The Arabian"
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?
Yep entirely smashed over here!! DH is trying to get Jovie back to sleep atm... I told him to leave her in the car & let her sleep there, but he insisted on transferring... he will never learn
Thanks girls for meeting up! Sorry didn't get to stay in one place & chat too long, but you know how it is. Saram, will have a good read thanks so much!
No not thinking early anymore. Had my MW appointment yesterday & she said the U/s report came back with my normal dates I just have a big headed baby LOL. who is also posterior so we can't go early as I need time to convince him to turn around. I mean hell, if your gonna have a big head kid, at least be nice & come out so it moulds right on the way through. Not like Glenn who came out posterior & wasn't nice enough to at least get that giant head out the easist way.
just a quick question.. only coz i know i will get a quick answer in here rather than the nappy making thread....
would these 2 material be ok for a lightweight cover?? outer MINKEE and inner MICRO-TERRY TOWELLING?? and maybe a strip sewn into the terry inside of micro-fleece?
eta - basically you want a polyester. cottons or anything with a cotton content wont work as a cover. To back minkee you would want to team it with a polar fleece.
