poopie - most silk fabrics actually aren't that slippery. Don't get anything in a satin type fabric, as it would be. It's often more expensive too. It's pretty easy to sew with - just use a fine needle.

meow - HB sounding better and better with doc not having sent bluddy referral to the hospy! Might do a Kitten and change my mind at 30 weeks

Oh, and guess what? I got my huuuuuge DDU package today. Can't bring myself to put the fluff away, I've got it sitting right next to me. So luscious! DH is in love too - he had a little rant when we were opening the package, saying "Why on earth would you want to put anything else on a baby? This stuff is so beautiful!" Arrrrr. Married him for a reason
