Who was it that said they had gotten some MM fleece of the lady on Ebay, remember a while back I said I was getting some & then didn't. Someone, I think Mel maybe?? Was asking about it or said she had gotten some from the same seller before... Anyway I want to know what weight it is, the seller either doesn't know or can't be bothered to reply. I got some (arrived today) & I want to make some covers from it. But I don't know if I should use 2 layers or I will be ok with 1. I can't even be 100% sure that it is MM fleece, I justhave to trust the ebay seller. Anyway, does this ring anybells....
I haven't made anything with mine yet as I've got issues with thickness and mums old machine hence the walking foot post the other day *sigh*
I'm sure Maz made some flongies for Vy and was most pleased with it. She will correct me if I'm wrong but I'm sure it is 200wt which would be fine for day use. Don't think it would be enough on it's own for night maybe 2 layers but it would be very bulky. I'm sure micro fleece would give it that extra but of water resistance. With fleece covers you may still feel a bit of dampness on the clothes because it lets the moisture evaporate IYKWIM.
Ourlux the only thing I would say about getting a cheaper machine is to have a good look about before you buy it. You can get some great machines for a little bit more and you never know...you might end up finding a new hobby. Once you've tacked something small it's only a matter of time before you get the urge to tackle something more complicated
Also have a look at the sewing machine stores. My local Spotlight totally sucks for service in the sewing machine department and if yours is the same and you're having troubles then I don't like your chances of getting any questions answered. When I was in an independant store getting parts ordered for mine the other day they had some nice looking new machines for about $200 and even some reconditioned ones.
Sammi and FJ - Ive used those flongies over night and they were great and only one layer..only problem is that it gets balls (I think I sewed them up the wrong way).
FJ - I had alot of trouble with that lady...she only sent us 2.5 meters and it took me to go to paypal (cause she didnt answer my emails either) to get the other .5 meter.
IM waiting for my new snaps...and lincraft have 2-% of fleece at the moment...hmm need to buy some black.....
I made some FLongies sofar & what I did was just made them 1 layer & then I have made some little shorts out of the microfleece & another out of the MM fleece so I can snap (gotta love this snap press LOL) in the extra layers depending on what she is wearing the flongies for. Good Idea hey!
PMSL - i didnt even realise..heheheheh
Tanya the ****ie sent me the wrong fleece so I hav eto send it back, I cant keep it but im hanging to see what it looks like...hmmm might have to put some extra funds into her account if I like it..heheheheh
Sammi - that cover I told you about...WOW I am having fun doing it. Jed Peed himself at it.
Maz I'm very excited Can't wait!
ROFL I had to look twice at that too You got the wrong fleece you say? Lucky she didn't send your fleece off to someone else and the person decided to keep it!
FJ I was thinking about your longies last night when I was up settling Caleb (must have you on the brain ) anyway if you sewed them up on your sewing machine do you think the leaking could be wicking from the cotton where you sewed the seams together?
I'm going to recycle one of Angies jumpers that he has ripped into a nappy for Caleb. It's a V8 Supercars jumper so hopefully it'll turn out alright I just have to peel it off him first
I used a poly thread so souldn't be. I have lanoised them since & she has done a day nap in them with no prob. I would say it was the non lanolised cover with a non broken in Sandman.
mmmm probably at least 7 or more. It held up well lastnight actually. It was wet through to the outter layer but not all over just down the sides. But Isla did a massive poo in it & it leaked . But it was a big poo LOL
ETA- Sammi, do you think that fleece is MM fleece for sure? I was in spotlight today & was looking at some heavy polar fleece & I have to say that I would not have been able to pick the difference if the two were put side by side. Has me concerned that I just paid $22 for stuff I could have got at SL for $8.99/m!
Do you think I should ask the seller to provide some sort of proof that its MM Fleece? Its was the same width & everything. I'm worried I have been ripped off...
