I have questions

[peverroad]

I gotta a few questions for yall
What do you do with wool scraps? I made some butt sweaters and have the whole top of the sweater left and i don't want to throw it away if i can do something with it.
I made butt sweaters but what are soakers and different things i can make? Does anyone have picture I would really like to see the different things that i can make.
Has anyone used the acriylic to make covers yet? Did the work? Do you have to laylion them too?
I went to the drug store today to get laylion and the didn't have the nipple cream but the gave me the cream from the RX i got 1 oz for 2.50 is that a good price?
Alright i will wait and see what you all say.
(I tryed the butt sweater on my son and i made it to small, i seem to have problems with that)

I use scraps from wool sweaters to make baby booties/slippers.

You don't need to lanolinize soakers/butt sweaters made from acrylic.

I would say that's a good price for lanolin...I buy the medela Purelan and I think it's about $8 for 1.3oz.

A patchwork bed pad...2 layers to keep your mattress safe from leaks

I posted the other day asking what to do with the tutleneck parts. They are so wonderfully stretchy - I was wondering how big the neck piece would need to be to make a newborn soaker (if, of course, that was possible). I don't have a newborn to check it out on.

But nobody responded.

After seeing this other post on bindings today, I wonder if it would make good binding for legs of soakers and wraps??

Wool doublers Awesome for overnight.
Also momma pads. I put wool on thew bottom of my momma pads and no leaks!

how do you make wool doublers

[mehndi mama]

Just wash the wool item on hot a few times in a row, throw it in the dryer on high, then cut a doubler shape from it. No need to finish the edges unless you want to - it won't unravel because it's so felted.

I made the mistake of not superfelting my pieces before cutting, and ended up with a maxipad-sized doubler after it got washed the first time :LOL: So make sure you do the superfelting!

Also, always use a wool doubler under a cotton or hemp one. The cotton will keep the urine from running out of the diaper (it's a fast absorber, whereas wool is a gradual absorber), and will keep the baby's parts from getting all fuzzy from the wool fibers
