:) :)

This is the latest diaper I've made. I think it is sooo dern cute!! This outer fabric also came from Christi. I am so thankful to have something to work with while I'm still learning to ropes!




:)

So far, I've felt the best about this one! I feel like I'm getting the hang of it, yet still have so much to learn at the same time. I'm so glad to have perked an interest in sewing! This outer fabric was donated by this wonderful woman I know who has also answered my million and two questions!!



Thanks Christi!!

so i've heard...

I don't know from experience, but I've heard that little boys have a reputation of tinkling on themselves and innocent bystanders when their diapers are being changed. So that led me to this cute little project!
(I also heard these may double as rockets!!)

Pee Pee Tee Pees

second attempt

This is the second diaper in the kit. It turned out a little better. Its a learning process for sure!



go ahead and laugh...I know it's funny!

Oh My Goodness!! This has got to be one of the most horrible attempts at making a cloth diaper! Its so wrong in so many ways lol! I found a website that sells kits with everything included and then found someone on ebay selling a kit they had purchased. Thankfully I didn't have much invested in this, but it makes me laugh!!


wipes case

I think this was probably the hardest and there was no sewing involved!! But I absolutely love it! Its a very snazzy travel wipes case.





moving right along...

I made some burp cloths out of this dinosaur flannel that I love!! One has dinos on both sides and one has dino on one side with a white back.




In the beginning...

I got on this trip about cloth diapers and decided to buy a sewing machine and tackle the idea from the start. Then knowing how I always overwhelm myself I decided to start with projects that were a little less intense to begin with. The cutest things I could find were baby stuff. NO, WE ARE NOT EXPECTING!! I knew I didn't want to wear anything I would make and anyone can make curtains. I wanted a challenge and a challenge I received! So here are some pictures of the first few things I made.

Catching Up!!

I've been sewing for a month or two but only now creating a way to share my projects without hounding ppl with emails!! I decided to not post on facebook because I don't feel the need to have to explain myself a million times to ppl I may rarely talk to. So if you're reading this, it's by your choice and I respect that, the same I would hope you respect my choices!
