Beautiful fabrics - like the idea of Minky for the back. Great job!

A very nice top and I think you will enjoy the minky, you will just need to vacuum after working with it

Lovely top!

Great colors. A minky type backing would be nice for snuggling.

Lovely. Sometimes a simpler pattern is just what we need. Great work!

It turns out is called plush or cuddle plush over here but it certainly isn’t as popular as Minky seems to be in US. There is a brand of ironing boards and ironing related products over here called Minky and they have the copyright on the name it seems.

When sewing with it I’m planning on using my walking foot, lengthening the stitch length a bit and just doing straight lines for now. I was going to use cotton thread - does that seem ok?
