thank-you for these....I have a new great-nephew I will be sewing some from. I love flannel...so soft!
QUOTE=kay carlson;5176780]I downloaded these instructions from Patti Henry earlier this month. These are the easiest absorbent soft flannel cloths I have ever made. In fact, I made twenty three :-) ---- gifts for family and friends. I always preshrink the flannel.[/QUOTE] |
patchsamkim, I think you'll enjoy the pattern. I did cut 4 or 5 sets at a time and did production sewing cutting down the time and energy. Go PACK!

I make my own in an hourglass shape so the narrow part fits snugly on the shoulder. I originally made them flannel on one side, cotton the other, but the new mothers said the flannel does not absorb the spit very well, so I switched to terry cloth and they said that worked much better. I don't put anything in the middle, just sew the cotton and terry together and run a stitch about 5/8" in from the hemline to keep the 2 sides from getting wonky when washed.

Those really are nice. Thanks for posting kay.

Don't forget the terry cloth material items you could be making....a hooded bath towel, bath mitt, bibs, changing pads. Personalize as you want.
