Would you like a Cuppa?
Hi thread. I'm a very amateur sewer who has made simple things like tote bags, Christmas stockings, pajama pants. I want to make a large picnic blanket that has some kind of waterproof or water resistant backing so I could (for example) lay it on damp grass. The top would have to be soft fabric as I'm mainly interested in using this to bring my infant outside to play in the park or backyard. Could you suggest a suitable fabric for the back/bottom layer? Do you think I would need a pattern or could just wing it? I apologize if this isn't the right thread to ask.

Most stores these days are selling laminated fabric in cute patterns. Just use one side of that and one side of a flannel :)

Found a cute tutorial.

Ask to test the machine first if you can. My husband got me a similar machine from CL and the motor didnt work. It would cost more to fix it than the price of a new (albeit cheap) machine.

That is the nicest looking tshirt quilt I've seen. You're very talented and what a lovely gift.
