shaz I have seen them in £land, asda, poundstretchers - prob get them in your discount stores - they do huge ones for duvets but not sure easy they would be to do = maybe try some smaller ones and see how it goes = my wool is still in some and any that I have opened it has just bounced back to its lovely squishyness!!!

ASDA, TESCO, WILKINSONS, JML they all have them Shaz....tip, after you have stuffed it and hoovered the air out put it into a pillowslip....less chance of it getting caught on something and air getting in AND if it does get air in it will still only be the size of the pillow slip..............I learned that the hard way..............You could try black heavy duty bin bags and tape them shut with duct tape after the air is out at least for the move - not saying they would stay air free for forever but worth a try - its how I store the duvets during the summer months???

Hi All

Firstly apologies if this is an inappropriate place to ask but I can't think of a better place.
Does anyone have a link to a pattern for crochet baby trainers.
I've seen some but can't find a pattern.
Its nearly Christmas Fair time and I thought a few pairs would sell well at the fairs I try to contribute to.

you may have to join ravelry to get the access......it's free and I think its the best pattern with picture tutorial......If you dont want to do that type in "Free crochet baby converse booties pattern" into your search engine and you come up with loads. Good luck with them

Thank you SOOO much Roamin.:A
I'd googled just about everything I could think of but never found that.
What a fantastic site Ravelry is!

Pippa so sorry DH is in such pain, it's horrid and must be so hard when there's little you can do to help.

wasbrokegettingbetter welcome and good luck with booties. Ravelry is great isn't it.

socky sorry to hear boys were a pain, sounds like one at a time is easier? Would love to come and root through your stash (could take a while). Hugs.

roamin' that's how I store duvets as well. Winter ones are never stored for long though, too cold to be without feathers!
