While expecting DS, mom and I managed to collect a dozen or more pieces of snuggle flannel prints. Nothing has been used yet. Other than pajamas (DS has a drawer full), what can I do with all this fabric?
burp cloths. 2 sided, rectangle or a rectangle with wider ends (like a figure 8?). Some I made flannel on one side, terry cloth on the other. simplicity pattern #2924, also made the baby-sized boppy from this pattern
Bobby slip cover, used original cover as a template
slip cover for bouncer - simple pattern from mcCalls #4987
I buy the patterns when JoAnns or Hancock has the 99cent sales.
Also used a remnant to make a child-size ring-sling (over the shoulder baby holder) for a friend's little boy when she was PG with #2 so that the little guy could carry around a stuffed animal like mommy carried the new baby.
Married June '03. DS born Jan '09. DD born Feb '12. No, we didn't choose to be childless for the first 6 years, only the first 3.
