I bought the old stand by "plastic kind", but couldn't quiet make myself like it. It would have done in a pinch, but I wanted it to be a little better than that.
We picked out two types of material a few weeks ago with every intention of taking it to someone who could "whip one out" for us, but alas... it's Monday and NO SLEEP MAT! So about 1:30 today I decided that I should be able to do this. I mean how hard can it be? Yeah, I don't sew, but I wanted it bad enough to try. Then....the light's go out for about 4 hours!
Anyway, lights come back on and Trevor comes home and I start sewing. After I figured out how to thread the machine and make it work (totally forgot the whole bobbin thing) this is what I got... Ready...
TADA!!!
Barrett's new sleep mat. (Don't look too close, it's not perfect)
Trains on one side, solid on the other, with a totally soft pillow!
It's long enough and he likes it!!!!
