June 9, 2011 By 26 Comments
My fabulous new sponsor, Kelly from Oil Cloth Addict, sent me some laminated cotton to play with. Have you ever heard of laminated cotton? It's fabulous and waterproof, but not as stiff as oilcloth. It's really got a nice drape to it. You can read more about it on her blog! It's also more kid friendly than oil cloth, for bibs and food pouches and … [Read more...]
