Someone gifted me a 50 in wide x 15 yard roll of Shannon double gauze in white. Any suggestions as to what to make and any tips for working with it would be greatly appreciated.

Could you make a tubular scarf, maybe use as backing of burp cloths if you need any for little ones. I’m not sure what this is but I think I’ll Google to see if I can see. I’ll be thinking…also new moms like those gauze receiving blankets….

It makes a wonderful swaddle blanket. Just hem the edges. Most people like them square.

When you cut it, cut on the woven in lines. There's no other way to cut it straight.

I found this- I like the idea of a swimsuit cover up.

I love the way it feels, but I did NOT enjoy sewing with it. It has a life of its own!

Although I had starched it per suggestions on a video I watched, it wiggles and moves everywhere.

Super soft in the end, though, and the quilts held up really well to many, many washings (I made baby quilts for our twin grandsons).

Some ideas for double gauze - there is a blog and did a search to find. Some used other colors, but why not solid??

I used cotton double gauze to make a ring sling.
I also cut lengths of it, serge the edges, and make personalized milestone blankets by decorating with HTV that I cut on my Cricut.
