Minky Fabric Brings Luxury To Infant Auto Seat Handles

If you have a baby or infant, you might properly have experienced the softness and luxuriousness of minky fabric. Minky is often a relatively new, silky delicate microfiber that rivals cashmere in softness and replicates the silky feel of genuine mink. Sometimes known as "minkee", this comfortable, plush fabric is usually built from 100% polyester and renowned for a wonderful fabric for making baby blankets, quilts, chair coverings, bedspreads, pillows, robes, and infant auto seat covers.

Anything that needs to be soft might be accomplished utilizing minky! As being a material for infant vehicle seat covers, minky is very versatile since it's readily obtainable in many color variations, particularly soft pastels as well being a few bright colors. Texture variations are also obtainable with flats and textures, from minky with soft raised dots, lines, diamonds, and even long or short pile. The combination of attractive variations in colors along with melt-in-your-hand textures makes minky the new common for baby's stuffed animals, warm robes and wraps, and coverings of all kinds.

Most standard infant and toddler seat covers are designed from cotton or cotton/polyester blends. These materials, while durable, smooth, breathable, and inexpensive, cannot match minky for cuddly softness and comfort. Here's how 1 parent described her child's experience with minky:

"I was first introduced to minky fabric when a friend gave us a minky crib sheet at my baby shower. Although it was obviously a comfortable and luxurious sheet, I was somewhat apprehensive to the idea of allowing my child contact with minky because it wasn't designed of cotton. But one evening, as circumstances can change suddently with an infant in the house, I ended up one evening trying the minky crib sheet out of desperation. This happened when my daughter was about six months old; she seemed to be extremely happy with the minky sheet.

Later, nonetheless, when I tried to replace the minky sheet with a regular cotton sheet, I learned the hard way how much my daughter preferred the minky. That evening, when putting her to bed, my daughter began crying immediately. Initially, we couldn't figure out the problem: She had been fed, changed and designed comfortable so we were confused. Finally, after nearly half an hour of high pitched wailing, my wife asked me if it could possibly be since of the sheet.

Springing to action, I ran downstairs, retrieved the minky sheet from the laundry and quickly replaced the cotton sheet. No more than 5 minutes later, my daughter was happily and soundly asleep. It goes without having saying that we quickly bought extra minky sheets and have abandoned our views about cotton."

Like a covering for infant carseats, minky can help relax and soothe a fussy child, allowing parents to focus on the serious endeavor of driving. The material is quick-drying, highly absorbent, and really rather strong. And unlike real mink, minky fabric is totally vegan and holds up effectively under repeated washings. If you're planning on working with minky fabric on your own, even so, you ought to note that it represents some additional challenges. For example, it may be challenging to work with -- the cut edges shed very a bit and you have to pin it well prior to sewing since it stretches like crazy.

How do I sew satin binding around a double layered Minky/Minkee blanket?

I am trying to sew satin binding around a double layered minky/minkee blanket for my daughter. I am fairly new to sewing but understand the basics. I am having the hardest time keeping the binding in place!! Any suggestions on how to sew the binding to the minky without bunching and slipping would be really appreciated!! Thank you!!!

Sandra

When I am working with most fabrics for hemming or slippery items I use a UHU Glue Stick. (Avery Glue Sticks are good too) I make long lines of the glue, fold up my pre pressed fabric and lightly iron it dry to hold it. I this case I would place my line of glue on the Minky, lay on the binding and press the binding lightly.I am assuming you have already ironed the binding to wrap around the Minky so just line it up and glue it down, press it on one side. Give that about 20 minutes to set. Then flip it over and do the same on the other side. If you find that it isn't even, just steam press the first side to release the glue and reposition the binding. When all is down and is dry just sew it up. I do this on nearly every garment I make, or project I may be working on. The glue washes out in the first wash, and it doesn't muck up my needle if it is dry. If it does muck up I just dampen a piece of scrap fabric and clean it off. Works very well.
