what to do with all this flannel  

post #1 of 9
Thread Starter 
I have like ten yards of flannel prints from when I use to make wipes to sell. I'm sooooo sick of making wipes. I've probaby made 4000+ wipes over the last fewyears. so no more wipes! (plus i have no velour or sherpa to pair the flannel with anyway)

pajama pants are out because I only like stretchy knits for jammies. I don't have babies that need blankets and don't know anyone having babies. We don't need diapers. so, i'm stuck.. any suggestions?

I've used flannel to make cloth napkins, mama pads, Fern and Faerie smocks for DD for the cooler weather, lounge pants (DS wears his lounge pants out and about), maybe some warm pillowcases or even travel sized pillows for the car... gotta think of some more ideas

Ditto the pillow cases. Cat beds (I have kitties, so of course that comes to mind).

Blah... now I can't think any more. Must need coffee!

I have a full sized flannel quilt on my bed and it's wonderful. Flannel isn't just for babies!

Dd won't wear stretchy jammies ever since I made her a flannel nightgown.

You could also make rag quilts--I probably wouldn't do it for a quilt for a grown up bed, but baby or toddler sized quilts.

Ebay and buy new fabric that is not involved in the making of wipes
