Pram Covers
Dear Aunt Daisy, I was very interested in the notes in The Listener about making pram covers. I have made several with success, using satin, butter muslin, ordinary cotton wool bought from the chemist, another layer of butter muslin, and then the transfer. I use pearl brilliant cotton or shiny rayon thread on the shuttle of the machine and ordinary white cotton (40) on the top. Use a big stitch and loosen the shuttle tension by giving the little screw one full turn. Be careful to tack the transfer securely in position and not wrinkle the satin underneath when sewing. After stitching the pattern, tear the paper away and turn the whole thing out with another piece of satin. Made this way, they can be washed easily and dry quickly. I used mine on two babies and am now expecting my third. My pram cover is as good as new so will be in use again before long.
