Layettes |
2 shirts
2 gowns/footed sleepers
1 bath-sized bar of soap
4 cloth diapers |
2 washcloths
1 sweater
2 receiving blankets
2 safety pins |
Wrap the layette in one of the blankets and secure with
the safety pins. Good "gently used" items may be substituted
for new ones. Sized up to 24 months may be used. Infant sweatshirts
may be substituted for the sweaters. Diapers, receiving blankets,
and gowns may be cut from a bolt of flannel. Use pinking shears to
cut diapers 22 1/2" wide. A square cut from the width of the
fabric-usually 45" wide easily makes a blanket. |
Quilts |
Quilts should be approximately 60" x 80" and
made of any new or good used fabrics. They should be tied with yarn.
Please keep in mind tht a 60" x 80" quilt should weigh about
4-5 lbs. If it weighs less, please use heavier filler so the quilts
provide sufficient warmth during cold seasons. Blankets and "store-bought"
quilts are also needed. |
