I have a baby shower to go to on Sunday. The mum is another homeschooler, obviously way younger than I! She has a 12 year old boy and a 5 year old girl – don’t know what gender the third one is, so when I was at Fabricland yesterday I had to choose something unisex.

This fabric is so cute, yellow and orange elephants on a blue background, and for the drawstring bag I dug out some variegated sock yarn that fits perfectly for the crochet chain drawstring.

The fabric was 110 cm wide, and I bought 2.2 metres. That made three receiving blankets, about 32 inches square (you see how I seamlessly segued to imperial there), a double thick burp cloth, three 10 inch square cloths and a bag. I had no idea whether it would all fit in the bag but it does, and I’m so chuffed!
