I'm jelouse, you have a name for your sewing machine. Hmmm...I'm gonna call mine...Martha!
Actually, that is the name of the machine ... as in the make, but I love telling ppl that I have tea with autie Elna discussing all things sewing related (actually I sit there swearing because she won't allow me to set the tension) We can all have tea together, you, me, Elna and Martha

Thanks girls

SO ... this morning I fitted my ds's little bum with my new creation and low and behold ... It WORKS. Yeah it got peed on I am however thinking about not doing the pocket thing, looks funny because I don't know how to add the elastic on the back (I sorta made this one how I thought, not following directions, because my english is terrible and I don't understand it all that well sometimes) so now the elastic is on the outside part of the nappy, but the inner part does not have an elastic, so it gapes and looks really unfinished. I am going to sew the booster (that is what I call a piece of microfibre sewn into a facewasher ) into the nappy. It's going to take longer to dry, but I think it would look neater in the end. I also have to shorten the elastic around the thighs, those do not fit well enough to hold a poo-splosion me thinks. I have not used velcro or snaps, but are going to be using a snappy-thingy. I just feel like the velcro will eventually snag on everything in the wash and with the snappy you have more control on how tight you fit the nappy around the waist. Also I'm going to hit the shops for seriously thick toweling to make them, really hope I find some in an aray of colours. I used a flat terry nappy and the quality is not that good. It unravels a lot and it's not as thick as I would like it to be. And then the wrap *sigh* it's 3-6 months, but it's to big. So I'm going to buy a 0-3 months one at the discount store and see if it does not fit better. ATM I am still searching for a shop that sells PUL to see if I can make my own wraps. For that matter I'm still searching for a fabric shop that sells hemp, bamboo, microfibre or any other fabric that I so desperately want to try out

*taking a breath* This MCN stuff is FUN FUN FUN!!!

And here it is (if you laugh do it in your sleeve )
