thanks Sewbiz- Don’t you love how fast those fleece hats work up? On the clothesline trivets- I use 100% cotton clothesline and wrap thin strings of leftover fabric around the clothesline as I go. Strings that range from 1/8” to 3/4” wide work best as anything wider can get lumpy when wrapping. And string length of at least 3” work best, though I have used shorter ones. I use a dab of glue to tac down the beginning of the string, then wrap, adding additional strings as needed until I’ve got a foot or so of the clothesline covered, then zigzag it in place.
