Oh, i am so tired, i read that as if you were EATING a delicious chocolate LOL!!!
how many days are you "over" now Mel?
I now leave the night longies "too long" on purpose (i used to hem them all up) cos i figure, the extra length just keeps bilby's feet warmer.
i use her biggest, longest longies for night (to totally cover the bulkier night nappies) and use the smaller, shorter in the leg longies for the day (over the less bulky day fitteds).
NESSA - i use a very old overlocker from the 1960's!!!! I am such a dunce, my technically minded dh reads the manual and does the threading for me - it is beyond me - otherwise i'd help you out in a heartbeat! My best MCN sewing has been done when i had access to BOTH a sewing machine and an overlocker SIMULUTANEOUSLY.
I think it is possible to do it all (well, get it done) with only a sewing machine, but for some bits, you don't get the neat finishing off you get with the overlocker. If you sew inside out (turn and topstitch i think is the Sewing Jargon for that), i suppose it doesn't really matter, cos no-one will see when you're done. but being a obsessive compulsive type person, things like that bug me. Prolly has lots to do with me being a wonky cutter outerer, i love how the overlocker neatens up my wonky cutting out!!
