Yay! I have some gorgeous brightly coloured polyester prints I might use for the outers. I have a pile of white PUL on the way so might use it over that. Cant think of anything else to use them for!
Is there something you can use in place of PUL?
Or is PUL the best stuff to use for the outer?
I know you can use fleece, but is it a special sort of fleece, like a very thick fleece, or just regular fleece?

Oh what a good idea (bucket of hot water in my machine) I didnt even think of that. Might get DH to do that for me. I'll probably fall over carrying it down the stairs to the laundry. I wish we had hot water in there already. Would make things easier, but its a stupid old-fashioned share-laundry.

I'm off to Spotlight once Claire wakes up from her nap. I'm going to get some more fleece before they take it away. It was on special the other day!

Should I wash all my fabrics before I start sewing, for shrinkage reasons?
