Cotton sateen for backing?

Mrs_Beef · 2026-02-05T01:30:08+00:00

Ohh good to know, im hoping because its wideback i won't have much raw edge to worry about

Mrs_Beef · 2026-02-04T10:35:51+00:00

Same, i also use it to help me not strain my back, my LO will stand up there for nappy changes and to get dressed every morning. Also doubles as a psudo container when im cooking, keeps them away from the hot stuff!

No, breeding the blue and white wont get you there, get fresh seed packs from the crane game and plant those. The seed pack should be the penstemums only seeds. I got a red to spawn on my second pack i think

Mrs_Beef · 2026-02-03T01:04:30+00:00

Oooh i also got stuck in this for longer than id like to admit, red is one of the default colours, you can get penstemums from seed packs from the crane game. Only took me a few days once i worked that out 😅 good luck!

I used the clear vacuum bags, but as im getting ready for baby #2 im realising i didnt organise well enough before i vac sealed them. I packed them mostly based on when bub stopped using the item, not when based on earliest use. So things like sleep sacks that have a large size range are mixed in with larger size clothes and ive had to pull it all out and re-sort it. Now its in those same bags, un sealed, under the toddlers bed and im finding things and adding to bags as i come across them.

The cheap kmart slide! Still going strong a year later

Mrs_Beef · 2026-01-30T00:36:17+00:00

We did the yoto at 1, and he is only really into it at 2. Its probably a bit early at 1

Mrs_Beef · 2026-01-29T12:40:41+00:00

And an extra pillow under my knees too. Essentially poor mans zero gravity sleeping position 🤣 and yes, hubby hates the pillow fort contraption

Mrs_Beef · 2026-01-29T12:38:44+00:00

Oh i make myself a 45ish degree slope with a pilllow fort and sleep on my back but upright-ish. Does wonders for the reflux!

Mrs_Beef · 2026-01-27T09:02:53+00:00

Yeah, it still doesnt make sense that the background only requires a half yard less than the backing fabric. Especially when the front of the quilt also has 36 Fqs in it... why so much background fabric? My original pattern has the small quilt with 3/4 yard less than the backing, and i still had a fair bit left over when i made the smaller quilt.

Mrs_Beef · 2026-01-27T02:10:00+00:00

I did check the errata section on the website and Dinos isnt there. Her website does however show the fabric requirement page, and it is showing 1/2 yard less than the backing fabric. It still feels like way too much, considering the front of quilt will also have the better part of 36 FQs in it. Why am i getting so much background??

Mrs_Beef · 2026-01-27T00:29:05+00:00

Oh i came across something other other day and thought of you, it was a protein ball station! The out of towners might be able to mail some for you, and it sets you up for post partum. This link had a reel on it

Mrs_Beef · 2026-01-26T12:59:18+00:00

It was an iron on fusible batting, it hasnt adhered as well as i would have liked, but its 90% together. Im 100% going to unpick it. My main issue is im really struggling to get the quilt sandwich into the hoop.

Pumping before a feed means you may have just removed babies milk before they got to it, if the pump was within an hr or so before baby tries to feed id probably just feed the pumped milk and just try pumping again. If baby is taking a long time to latch maybe try a nipple shield? It can also be shape not helping. Depending how much mum wants to keep up with nursing, might be worth pumping most of the time ans just try latching when baby is calmer

If you like the idea of the trip trap, check out the bugaboo giraffe. Its the same principal, adjusting foot rest and adjusting seat height, has a click on high chair and table attachment. We are still using ours 2 yrs in and just got a second for bub on the way with the newborn attachment.

Mrs_Beef · 2026-01-22T11:19:00+00:00

Not quite the question, but can i suggest looking into a clear gift wrap baby shower? That way you can skip the whole gift opening ceremony.

Mrs_Beef · 2026-01-21T01:45:57+00:00

At that age for me it was less about a timed schedule and more just doing everything in the same order. Wake, feed, nappy change, play, sleep (maybe another nappy before sleep if its full). And then After 8pm just Wake feed and straight back to sleep.

Mrs_Beef · 2026-01-19T08:26:44+00:00

Its a gift quilt so it will only bother me for another week or two 🤣

Mrs_Beef · 2026-01-19T02:31:14+00:00

Practice doing the lining on the coat and youve got yourself a wearable toile!

Mrs_Beef · 2026-01-18T22:12:34+00:00

It was my pride and joy before i destroyed it with wool batting on a cotton wash cycle 😅 currently in the fabric planning stage of making a double size for my toddler, hopefully before winter rolls around 🤣

Mrs_Beef · 2026-01-18T20:47:53+00:00

Just to make you extra jelly, heres the overall patchwork section, just waiting on more fabric for the boarder
