I’ve completed my first make of the year. It’s a cotton lining, elastic at the corners, and a mattress cover, for a wicker baby basket. Baby should be here this month.
-
Very cute 🥰
-
That’s adorable! :loveit:
-
Ooooh, that dinosaur fabric looks really nice!
May I ask what it is & where you bought it from please?
-
THANKYOU
The fabric was bought at Doughtys in Hereford, but they do online sales as well.

Ta!
Oh wow, they have lots of other really nice stuff too! Instant bookmark for future projects & inspiration.

Lovely and fun fabric.
-
Lucky baby.
-
Hope baby snoozes happily in there after counting all the lovely dinosaurs. :loveit:
-
It's just delightful @fajita :loveit:
Are you local-ish to Doughty's, then? I'm glad I can get there because they have a great selection but you have to spend £100 online to get free delivery :faints:

@Flobear I live in Malvern, which is about 20 miles or so away. Not quite on the doorstep, but close enough for shopping purposes.
-
Oh, right. Bjay is thereabouts too and she introduced me to the Doughty's experience :D I'm about 25 miles south of Hereford by road so we always go with several purposes in mind - Dunelm, Halfords, B&Q etc.
-
That's lovely, gotta love a dinosaur or 3.

In fabric shop terms, that is very local, these days.
Love that it's not the usual baby pastels.

@Flobear I live in Malvern,
I go drinking in Malvern ;) Train straight through from Evesham to Malvern Link, across the common and into the Nags Head. Sorted :D
-
That fabric is adorable & the lining looks very well-made. This baby will be very lucky! Is it here yet?
-
Thanks for the compliments.
@Sara-S granddaughter was born in mid January. All good and healthy, and a cuddly 8 lbs plus.
@realale I have been known to lunch at The Nags Head on occasion. Lovely pub.
-
@fajita congrats!!! :VV: :pics:

@Flobear
Doughtys do do their inimitable Roadshows (https://www.doughtysonline.co.uk/RoadShowDiary.pdf)
-
@Sara-S
-
@Iminei . I would think that Doughty's warehouse is nearer to me than any roadshow. The issue I found last year, though, was that during roadshow season their shelves were somewhat depleted.
eta Having looked at the schedule, it seems that the roadshows go on all year!
-
@fajita - congratulations! :VV: :VV:
-
@Flobear I once went to Doughty's a few days before the Quilt Show at the NEC - it was quite distressing!!
-
@Sara-S
How adorable! I like the other child's blanket too. Did you make that one as well @fajita ?
-
That was a community made blanket. Various members of this site made and gifted each block. I’ll try and find the link for you to see how it worked. @Sara-S
Somewhere on this thread is the makings of it.

@fajita I forgot to ask; what is the baby's name?

@Sara-S Baby is called Teigan.
Edited for spelling.
