Bar Cover

[Guest guest]

,

That's so sweet of you to offer to make bar covers for people. You

don't know just how many moms have asked for them on this board over

the past few years! Depending on how much " therapy " you need, you

could always send a batch to Joyce (Dr. P's assistant) or the

Mc House too to hand out to clubfoot families who are in Iowa

City.

I'm so glad that Ava is doing well in her brace for you thus far!

That's a really good idea about sending them to Iowa. I hadn't

thought of that. I'll fill the " orders " I've gotten so far, and then

maybe I'll send some. I'm trying to figure out a way to cover the

bolts on the bottom of the shoes better. The one I made for Ava

pretty much just cushions the bar (so she doesn't keep clunking

it!!!) That's okay for now, because she's only 3 mths & not walking

yet. But I know some of you have had issues with the bar/bolts

tearing up floors once they're on the move!! And I know that my days

of a stationary baby are numbered!

Anyway, I've tried elastic, but it's such a small area & such a tiny

piece of elastic, it's hard to sew. I was thinking little ties that

could be pulled tight, but then I thought--who wants ANOTHER thing

to tie/strap/velcro!!!! I'm trying to make it as simple as

possible...I'll keep working on it! Any ideas are appreciated!!

If anybody wants a bar cover, just send me a direct email with your

bar length, address & boy/girl. My email address is redskline123 @
