ohhhhh Mel! are you going on Tuesday? Will I see you all there? can I have a cuddle???
Girls, I am over trying to knit a soaker... I'm totally hopeless. So I decided to get sewing a go. LMAO I'm one of those kids atm who has things in the cupboard that they start and never finish
This was Friday's efforts. I went to Vinnies on Thursday & picked up heaps of vintage sheets.... and 2 old tableclothes that are plain colours.... Then Friday I cut out the first dress, ironed it and then sat down to sew it up and *whammo* my machine freaks out... could be its been 3 years since I've taken it out of the cupboard LMAO.... ah well... will try to stay inspired.
Christy - SNAP! I am exactly the same, get into something & then lose interest as soon as I have all the 'fixins' lol, like, I was going to make baby hair clips... made like 12 then got over it... now I'm buying heaps of yarn & knitting needles etc BUT found some fabric while cleaning up today & decided I'll give turning it into something a go... My attention span is non-existant. Plus, I always see things I want, especially on Etsy, but never buy it 'cause I think "I could make that!!" ...and I probably could, albeit a cruddier version, but do I....?!
I need more ittis. I really really love the sewn in seconds I got, they dry quicker than any other AIO I've got, especially the magicall which seems to take weeks. Am going to start saving now for the expo & itti bargain packs.
Got a tonne of washing done today, too bad I've got many many more tonnes to go!!!

Queen - in Punky's honour, bilbs and i have been having a bop to Ferry Corsten's PUNK song (he says "digital punk" over and over) love that toon.
bilbs has stopped dancing with her head, and is finally shaking that bilby tush and using her knees, she also does a hula hoop style of dancing, (in her baby legwarmers).

why do you say "DH impressed" - have night nappies not been working for you lately K? absorbency wise or leaks due to fit problems?
How long does Pip sleep for?
bilby is sleeping for two stretches of about five hours, wakes for a feed in the middle, so we change her then. The acidic teething poos continue, poor bilbs, those molars surely are taking their time to cut ALL the way through.
When it's not summer weather, tiny bilbies keep their legs warm and accessorise with Huggalugs . . . and another brand from ETSY that i keep forgetting the name of. Huggalugs is aust owned, babylegs are US owned - i think that 's the diff Kazbah.
dh took my "supposed to have been fixed/but still not working overlocker" back to teh sewing machine centre. will be very pleased to have it back, WORKING.
Have any of you sewing queens got directions for how to sew up a cover?
(like an online tutorial link)
You see, the only MCN i have ever attempted were POCKETS, but i cut out a pocket incorrectly, forgot to cut the little rectangles out above the pocket opening, and you can't add extra PUL fabric, it would leak where you joined the extra PUL, so i'm thinking, the only thing i could make this "meant to be a pocket nappy" into, would be a cover. But i have never done a cover before, not sure what/where i'd sew the back elastic, the tummy elastic - do i add some fleece as reinforcement? do i sew the elastic to teh PUL, to the inner layer (suedecloth)? It's lovely PUL nappy cut, i really need to salvage my little "disaster".
So, who's having chocolate crackle withdrawals today??? anyone?
