I'm investigating things that I can sew for cheaper than I can buy. Wanna save all the money I can to spend on beer.

So, receiving blankets are way cheaper to buy than to make. Unless I get sheets...hmmmm. Well, I need to go to thrift stores now, get some sheets and tons of tshirts for diapers, and something absorbent for breast pads. But while looking online for patterns and ideas, I came across this:

OUCH, OUCH. I'm all for natural ways of taking care of one's self, but I just can't imagine using one of these. I know, I'm sure for some it is wonderful, and I hope maybe someone reading this will enjoy them. But I'm gonna remain skeptical. OB for me.
