Do you soak them in bleach and water? What if there are yellowing spots etc... I am always afraid I will ruin quilts,tablecloths,linens,tea towels etc that have been passed down. Do they need to go to a dry cleaner? Thanks for any tips.Cele Schaffernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2698879802773566105.post-74537083200936645822011-11-17T16:12:21.898-08:002011-11-17T16:12:21.898-08:00It has indeed been dreary around here!

I just wanted to comment that I had imagined you were talking about PJs with Paddington Bear on them the other day, and was a little sad to realise that you were talking about one's like he wears, silly really, but I thought I'd share it with you anyway ;)<br />All of this has reminded me that I have somewhere about the house my old Paddington Bear sheets (or at least one) that I rescued from my mother's throw out pile, maybe I could make lounge pants from them....off to search, thanks for the inspiration.lisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04180552291969486991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2698879802773566105.post-8722952240751506732011-11-17T13:21:22.235-08:002011-11-17T13:21:22.235-08:00Oh Tif, I have been wondering if they will be home...Oh Tif, I have been wondering if they will be home, and I am so pleased they are!!<br /><br />Stewart is my favourite:o)<br />I still have a tartan jacket and a pair of tartan hot pants from the 80's.....if only i could fit into them lol.<br /><br />You are right my dear, Paddington did have stripey pj's.
