Babies have alot more luxury these days. When I decided to make these, I wanted to make sure I had the softest material so they will feel not only warm, but comfortable, and still look fashionable for both baby and mommy.
Most of the time, I use a material called Minky. Minky has gotten alot more popularity in the recent years. It is a 100 % polyester soft microfiber fabric - 100% polyester. It has a more luxurious look and feel to it. Trust me, it has a feel of cashmere, and it is still as warm as fleece. I have always ordered my minky from the States, because I just couldn't seem to find the quality here. Maybe I'm not looking in the right places.
Sometimes, I use micro chamois fleece. It is also 100% polyester. It is basically a silkier and smoother micro fleece that is just as cuddly.
Both Minky and fleece do not shrink when washed. However I always prewash them before I sew. :)
Enjoy them!!
