Yay - we are SO winning the great domestic names war of 2008! We should be running the world, seriously.
Pinky, the fabric thing is just to cover the edges of the basket on the inside and tuck under the mattress so the basket looks pretty but not frilly and stops Baby Saurus from scratching itself on the baskety walls surrounding it. All the moses basket dressings I've seen on Ebay etc are scarily flouncy and I'm more of a primary colours kind of gal.
I think I basically need to make a sort of skirt that goes on the inside of the basket and then elasticate the top. John Lewis - but of course, dahlinks, where else does one buy fabric? Where else in Sheffield with on-site parking, anyway...
Dozy and Sparkle, you are so gross, in a good way! LOVE the Brian Potter analogy (no pun intended - jeez, ladies, minds out of the gutter!) and can just hear it - "I've seen the future!".
Do we have too much free time for thinking or what?
