Help! Alena's gone insane!
Friday evening I was feeling well enough to work on the sleeves of the
nursing shirt I'm designing. I had an accident and ended up needing to cut
a new sleeve. After carefully taking out all of the pins, I waved the
fabric in front of Alena. She grabbed it.
That was two days ago! I can't get her to let it go!!!!!
I wanted to take it to seam up the edges so it won't fray into her mouth,
but she hit me, woke up and screamed until I gave it back, unseamed...
While we're nursing, she'll hold it over her face and rub it up and down.
It's a cotton/viscose blend, so it's nice and smooth, but thin enough that
she's not going to suffocate.
DH thinks it's cute (so do I) but he just wants to make sure we're going to
be able to take it to the washer in the next decade.
I think I have enough scrap from the same material to make her a little
shirt, but I'm not sure if that would suffice. She's really addicted to
this little piece!

That's too cute!! If she starts off her fabric addiction at this age,
you're in big trouble!

Glad to see she's starting early! Proves she's going to be a quilter. You
go Alena - get mummy to buy you a sewing machine for your first birthday
(make sure it's red 'cause they go faster!!!)

Don't bother making anything in particular with the scraps, just hem
them up and try to replace the bit she's got with a hemed bit. At
least then if you've got spare bits you can wash the bits more often.

LOL! Mom had to cut one of my baby sister's blankets into smaller squares
and put satin binding on them all. Maggie was so addicted to that blanket
that she went bonkers when Mom tried to wash it. Mom stayed up most of one
night cutting and binding the pieces. That way there was always one for
Maggie to snuggle with (she just wanted to hold it up against her face)
while one was being washed. And when one piece got too threadbare, Mom had
another for her.

fabric??
