    If you look at this pick close up you can see its a stretchy thin material. Defo has some elastan or lycra or something in it http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270590884346

    I can't sew either or I'd be tempted to make one!

    Don't really see how you can copyright a cover tho?? She must have just copyrighted parts of it.....hmmmm
    hmm stretchy stuff like that is hard to sew on a normal sewing machine.

    You can't copyright something like that, you can register it as intellectual property but I doubt they could because it's an idea nicked off taggies and loads of people sell taggie-a-like blankets on ebay annddd I'm sure there are other sellers selling similar bumper covers.
    The first one I saw was made from fleece see http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Bumper-Bar-Cover-fit-Phil-Teds-PUSHCHAIR-Reversible-/170490022780?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Baby_Pushchair_Accessories_parts_ET&hash=item27b1ff4b7c
    thats not a taggie style one though just wher I got the fleece idea from, the fit is a bit wrinkled on the bend but I think its ok looking

    Thats what I thought but shes claiming CR and registered design rights, might have a look for some cool ribbon in the shop and decide if I want to make one or not

    afternoon all.

    not been on much as had nothing to say :/

    still struggling to get Kian to eat although he will take about 3 'weaning' spoons at lunch or dinner. will eat fromage frais or fruit puree no problem so its just savoury he's not too keen on. have been giving him rice pudding which he seems to enjoy. think he's just a fussy git like his dad.

    hope everyone is well :)

    not read back so (((hugs))) well dones to those who need them

    K is a PITA with his eating! Depending on mood he'll not eat from a spoon, only eat from a spoon, only drink milk or only eat with no milk! His wee phases last about a week or so. Today he decided spoons are a no go so has had for his tea: a sandwich on soft cheese, 2 fishfingers, 6 rigatoni pasta tubes (tuna pasta bake) and half a packet of organix carrot sticks. He had a fromage frais for pudding which is the only thing he ever tolerates off a spoon!

    I'm not sure Sugar, one of them has a kid I remember it being in the paper.

    I'm trying to start the new trend of calling you Sugar ;)

    I may or may not :whistle: have filled up a basket of ribbon here : http://www.cardsandcraft.co.uk/fabrics/


    Just for ideas, of course :whistle: totally don't need a metre of each pattern!! I hope the local shops would just let me cut a few inches off??

    edit - now these people use "waterproof nylon fabric" so am gonna hunt some down. I'm thinking if i put it inside and and on the bumber bar, it would help me to sew it up neatly, and then take it off and voila!! Would that work??

    edit again... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/WATERPROOF-BLACK-NYLON-FABRIC-4oz-60-Wide-X-1MTR-/140372312803 Oooh, need to measure the bumper bar :D

    Thinking of you Caz. Been there and I know how it feels, so if you need anything get in touch. Take care *hugs* xx

    It's funny speed reading the thread and reading about willies and sausage shaped bits of material. I wondered what you were all going to make :rotfl:
    Here I go again on my own....

    Caz, no idea what to say but I have plenty of hugs for you X
    Took, hydrocortizone, used with hydromol to get rid of Alex's when it was at its worse.

    Ahh Hammy you are having a bad time of it aren't you? Hugs.
    Any idea when the paeds app will be or are you still waiting?

    :A Thank you, hugs needed and appreciated. No idea on paed appointment - still waiting to hear. We have been put down as an urgent referral but I guess the wheels of the NHS turn way too slow when it is your baby hurting :(

    GISI, I remember you were getting stressed about your job - did you get any further forward on sorting something out?

    Krystal - my mind is boggling about what happened earlier?
    The one thing children wear out faster than shoes is parents ;):o:D

    Big hugs Caz, you know where we are if you want to talk.

    Thanks for asking, Hammy. I've got a meeting with my boss next week so fingers crossed I will get the hours I'm hoping for.

    I love the bumper bar covers too, might have to make one too. That site you linked to is fab, Beenie.

    Beautiful day here and it's set to get hotter.
    :DYummy mummy, runner, baker and procrastinator :p
