My 4 year old grandson has one of those little blankets with a Pooh Bear head attached to it. As his pediatrician said, it is well loved. He carries this around a lot and sleeps with it every night. When I visited in March I repaired three small holes. Now it is coming apart and needs new fabric attached. It's at the point that washing it makes it worse. Does anyone have any suggestions how to go about doing this?

Thanks!

It's funny....I remember when my kids were little one had a duck and the other a little pillow and neither could sleep without them. Whenever my mom visited she would repair them. Now I'm doing that for my grandkids!

The blanket portion will last longer if you can baste it to another piece of fabric. Minkee would be great because of the feel of it, but you could also use a pre-washed flannel (pre-wash and dry a couple of times to make sure it won't shrink any more). Your grandson would have to decide whether Pooh should get a new tummy or a new back.

You could also baste it to sheer netting (which is how antique quilts are sometimes preserved), but it wouldn't be as sturdy or feel as good.
