Andy decided Carla was looking very sad and lonely as she watched Hop and Wibble snuggle and groom each other, so he grabbed Carla out of her cage and snuggled with her on our bed. The kitties quickly got into the snuggling, too. I told Andy he looked very cute, and he said, “I do look rather sexy don’t I? What with my chiseled chin and long, flowing hair. You should post that picture for sure.”
While the gang hung out on the bed, I worked on sewing up baby wipes. They are flannel on one side and old towel on the other side. I’ll probably do some that are flannel on both sides, too. For something that is basically a square, I’ve had a pain getting this project done. It’s really hard to cut huge pieces of flannel and towels into 8″ squares when you don’t have a table to cut on. One of those handy cardboard cutting things with lines on it would have been helpful, too.
The green/yellow knitty things in the picture are the supposed burp clothes I knitted. They are almost the same size as the wipes. I don’t know how much burp they will contain.
Nice work on the wipes and clothes. I envy your skill at knitting and sewing.
I’ve been “working” on a project for my godson since right after he was born…. He’ll be 2 this year and I’ve got probably 10% done if I’m lucky. He may have it in time for his first child’s baptism or something. 😛 I’m a slacker.
I highly recommend sticking to things that are squares/rectangles. That’s my secret.
I miss Carla.
Fold or roll the majority of the fabric, that which you are not cutting. Make templates out of cardboard the desired size with seam allowances added. Place template on fabric, plop a kitty on top to hold it down, use a pencil to outline, remove kitty and template, cut it out.
WOW! Is the WOW for the burp cloths or the chiseled chin? The burp cloths, naturally!
Moms are so smart!
