Greetings from Deutschland - As many of you know, I recently moved from Detroit to Germany where I will be staying from 4 years until ???? We adopted a brother and sister pair 3 weeks ago and everybody is settling down. Thank you to everybody who has emailed me with responses to my last questions about the biting boy. Alexandra, I almost peed my pants today when I (re)read the story about Sabrina the Bat-Biter!!! But I realize now I don't have nearly enough blankets, hammies, sleep sacks, etc... I brought a small stash from the U.S. and I keep trying to support the fine folks who sell on US eBay - I pick them up when I visit. But of course I can't do that forever, so I'm casting about for anyone willing to share with me their instructions/patterns for homemade stuff. Nobody here makes or sells the kind of stuff you can get in the U.S. - you know, the fluffy hammocks with the colorful puppy or kitty fabrics? I can't sew AT ALL but I'm willing to learn and if I get good enough at it, I figure maybe I can help make some things for the shelters here in Germany too. I would like to learn how to make: *large fleece hammocks *large fleece sleep sacks *large hanging pocket sleepers Please email me at [log in to unmask] if you can help and thanks in advance!
