Default Any ideas
Got these two cot bumpers off of freecycle (house around the corner, brand new in their bags with price label still on £8.99 each!)

Was initially thinking of just taking the fabric off to add to my bundle which I am having to restart after my ex stole mine! (grrr, but another story)

But before I did that thought I would see what the suggestions from here were.
They are both the same bumper but have shown the designs on both sides.

Link does work at Laj.
I think the fabrics lovely - would take apart and reuse for another project (in my case, a fabric bucket)

They are very yummy. I think there is a shortage of boys goodies in the crafting world, so anything you make would be lovely. Maybe padded PJs bags? You could even doe a little hand quilting around the Giraffes, and maybe along some lines on the checks.

I'd make a small quilt and maybe a cushion..............................ha! what I really mean is I'd decide thats what I was doing but the fabric would sit in a cupboard for 6months first
I don't use the cot bumper anymore on ds4 cot...hmm! you have got me thinking

lol, sat in bed last night and started to unpick it all! (OH did one of them as well bless!)
Still isn't completely done but is a start.
Am of out to hit the charity shops this morning as well- yey!
Just need to pop to the bank first (am currently without my bank card so have to withdraw in person which is a right pain!) and then there'll be no stopping me (until I get hungry anyway)
