My niece wants me to make her a quilt using her daughter’s outgrown onesies. Leah Day has a practical, inexpensive method, but touching fabric fires off my dang “burning tinglies” that I’m fighting during my #strokerecovery. Also, I’m determined to engage her in the process; not doing hours of work while she sits on her phone or visits friends.
So my niece will need to do a lot of the prep work with me, rather than simply dropping off a garbage bag full of onesies and skyving off. We’ll be working with sharps, so it’ll need to be just us adults; her daughter is pretty active and would be a distraction around hot irons, pins, and so on. I’ll wear gloves to keep the burning sensations tamped down; I want to get back into sewing, as I’ve been avoiding it. My sewing room/guest room needs a serious reorg, I never did the Declutter Challenge at New Years.
I have plenty of white flannel for stabilizing/batting, but she’ll need to provide backing fabric (clean old crib sheets, etc).
