Egyptian cotton interlock - WDYM?

Postby Tentacles » Sat Jun 02, 2012 10:48 pm

I just rediscovered the gorgeous egyptian cotton interlock I got through a coop by Leanne a couple of years ago. So what did everyone else make with theirs? I'd loveto make mine up :D

I made a mess of it :roll: I made a wrap around kind of pj top that was miles too big and badly fitting. It went in the bin in the end because I got so frustrated trying to save it :oops:

I made a couple of tees that the kids decorated for Christmas. The rest is waiting to be sewn into pjs for me & the kids, I just don't have the clothes-sewing mojo at the moment (and I much prefer cotton with a lycra component so I don't know if I'll do more tees, I may just do pjs with a merino top?). I only have smaller off-cut ends, I don't think I have enough for sheets though that was a plan of mine initially (but it proved to be too popular :lol: )

If you are still keen to make those sheets then you're welcome to have mine. I have 5m of each colour :wink:

Thanks for the offer Daniela but I don't see me getting on to that task for a loooong time yet. Recently Viv mentioned she would love to get her hands on more as it worked beautifully as a quilt backing, so if you want to rehome either/both I'm sure she'd love to buy it!

Yes, I would love more of it :D Although I have just bought a whole bolt of white flannel so funds are tight atm. Could swap or wait till I have some funds available :wink:

Oh, quilt backing! That's something I didn't think of!

Viv, I'm in no rush to sell it, so just PM me when it's convenient :D
