The Fetchmeet now has three dates when 6 people cam make it and none where everyone can join in - 13th, 14th, 20th. What to do or the best?

Make rectangular piece with cotton fabric, then place pul on towel wherever you choose. Zigzag/serge edges, then lay cotton across the middle width ways, stitch in place. Add Kam snaps and hey presto a reusable sanitary towel, that dries super quickly after washing. I have 6 more cut ready to sew. And 4 or 5 I made last month. I will be making other things too this month

Admittedly, most of the little lambs are on their last legs...the blue have died, the pink are on their way out... Squeak, not me. She's resolutely refusing to potty train. Little ***!!!!
