Hi Everyone: I am sewing for charity and looking for baby knits (preferably in Canada) so that I can make some sleepers and onesies. Does anyone know any online sources that I can try? I have visited the local Fabricvilles, Bouclairs, and Club Tissus here in Montreal & Chateauguay, QC. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have also visited Timmel Fabrics online! If no Canadian sources, does anyone have any trued & tried American sources? Someone that you have used before? Thanks for the help! Georgina Chateauguay, QC |

Hi Mary: Thanks! I did look through their website last night and found a couple of bolts that were good for what I was wanting to do! Will definitely place an order for that material - price is right and I don't have to bring it in from the States (duties & taxes)!!! Are there any others out there that a person can look at! I am just looking for a little more selection! Maybe I just need to contact the person at Wazoodle and tell her what I am looking for and she can help me further?!? Anyone else with ideas?!? Thanks again for your help Mary!!! Georgina |

Georgina, tell Wazoodle that you are doing it for charity, they may give you a deal. They are a good company to deal with.

Thanks - Well, you learn something new every day!! I would have called them sleepers.If my daughter who I hope will give me a grandchild someday and lives a looooong way away were to ask for onsies I wouldn't know what to get! When my dd was an infant (34 yrs ago) lycra had just come out as had sleepers and the Stretch and Sew shops. I made several pairs of sleepers. They are probably still being used somewhere the fabric was so thick. At that time I put denim type snaps to close them and thought I would knock down the house banging them in. We've come a long way in sewing since! Sancin

Here in the South the little one piece is called a "onesie".. we used to call them "rompers".. The ones that are long sleeved, and have legs and feet are the "sleepers".. No legs on a "onesie".. Just ribbing , like the neckline..

Have you tried Fabricland? Fabricville in Quebec is the same company - thanks! I am going out to Calgary on holidays at the beginning of July. Maybe I will see whether they have any different stock that the stores here have or if there are any different stores out there! Onesies? Someone gave a really good description of the onesies! I am on a charity crafting list - and it took me FOREVER to figure out what a onesie was!  Thanks for the help everone! Have a great day!!! Georgina Chateauguay, QC |
