    Thank you for sharing the link for the PUL.In the video when working with the PUL, it gives a idea of the feel where other wise impossible to tell when just ordering. and of course the simplistic and direct directions of putting the 3 differnt styles together. The technique of the bias tape is a keeper. .

      @@JanHowell Just finished this with the flip method and top stitching and it turned out great! I have worked with PUL before and forgot how uncooperataive it can be but I wrangled it in the end. This will be a go-to pattern for gifts from now on!

    Great tutorial, one question is why use the fusible fabric? So you can use fusible fleece not fusible interfacing?

    • @JanHowell
      @JanHowell  Před 2 měsíci

      Fusible fleece gives it a thicker feel instead of adding the layer of flannel.

    @janicebull2741 Před 14 dny

    I purchased 1/2 yrd. Cotton fabric (directional like yours), but only able to get 19” long (instead of 25”) ?? Guess my mat will be smaller.

    • @JanHowell
      @JanHowell  Před 8 dny

      If you flip it the other direction, Selvage to selvage that is 45 inches. you'll be able to get the 25 inches and you only need 18 inches for the other side. 1/2 yard is 19 inches. I hope tha makes sense.

  • @KainologyIndonesia
    @KainologyIndonesia Před 29 dny

    thank you for this video, so helpful! But I was wondering what is the use of fleece in this product? Can i just sew 2 fabrics (PUL & patterned flannel)? will it change how it looks? thank you :)

    Do you give Care instructions when giving or selling to a recipient ? I love this idea , wish I knew this when my children were babies. Thank you for sharing. 😊

    • @JanHowell
      @JanHowell  Před 2 měsíci

      You are so welcome. I havn't, but instructions would be a good idea. These can pretty much go in a regular load of wash so instructions wouldn't be too crucial.

    Timely video! Do you recommend washing the flannel or fabric first?

    • @JanHowell
      @JanHowell  Před 2 měsíci

      I don't if I'm giving them as a gift. The fabric just doesn't look as crisp. There may be a little shrinking of the flannel but not enought to worry about.

  • @gmstovall
    @gmstovall Před 2 měsíci

    do we need to pre-wash the flannel before we use it

    • @JanHowell

      I don't. Preference only.
