I was so tired I fell asleep attached to a TENS machine with a horror movie playing. 😑 So that’s how life is going.
The stuff is here. I’m going to see if I have the energy to split up and rewrap the pack of soap (just so one person doesn’t get 8 bars and everyone else gets none). The tp is the thin rough Delsey but it’s the easiest least suss way to distribute individual rolls.
The fabric pieces of this doll got wrinkled so I have to iron them again before sewing. Note to self - 100% cotton fabric wrinkles super easily and is not a forgiving choice.
hugs, you're a kind person.
Trying to work off this horrific karma I seem to have /half joking
Do not choose pure linen as a replacement - wrinkles even worse. Poly blend would stand up to washing if required though, so could be a good choice.
Agreed, linen is lovely but wrinkles badly.
This fabric happened to be pure cotton because it’s the outer shell of a pillow I’m salvaging for parts. The ‘skin’ of it is being used in a practice run for a doll pattern I sketched onto a grid and the filling will be used to stuff the doll.
I bought a meter of calico because it was cheap but I really think fabrics with a bit of stretch would work better
