More on Chenille

Aug 26, 2003 9 Replies

Those of you who have made chenille jackets...how many layers did you use? I saw one in the quilt store this past week with only two layers..one flannel and one regular cotton... plus the backing/lining. it didn't look too thick.(read fattening)



Any suggestions??

Are ewe fat or fluffy? Polly

As one hippo said to the other, "I'm not fat, I have big bones." Roberta in D

As my eldest DD said "You are my fluffy pink marshmallow, mummy". When DH had stopped ROFLhisAO and asked why she replied "cause you're all nice and squishy". Really what more could one want in life?

My middle daughter at age five made up a word for her plump GM.."She's so nice and queechie!" Nancycog in MD

Yes, but how many layers do you use to make chenille for a jacket????? (I'm rather sausage-like, at the moment.)

Lynne, I guess it depends on how puffy or warm you want it to be,

THANKS! I guess I'll make a small sample and see how "fat" four is, for me.
