    Maria - I'm really sorry to hear about your loss! If you pm me I may be able to send you some baby sheets that you could perhaps use as materials - or if they are the right size just keep them as they are - if you think they will be of any use? Don't have any of the other things you were after - sorry.

    Hi - I dont have any material but I'd be willing to knit a few bits and bobs if you could email me a pattern. I lost 2 babies myself so would be glad to help.

    Have sorted some "stuff" for you and will get that in the post this week. I have a couple of pieces of flannel that are less than 20" will you still be able to use them? I also have a bright green piece of flannel, not huge, that has a cartoon character on it will the colour be too loud? You are welcome to all as I guess you will find something that is needed to make with them.

  • sethsgran- yes the flannel would be good as each wrap is made from 3 pieces so that would be great thank you so much for you kindness, i really do apprechiate it
