Bridie -aaah! I was wondering what store you owned! Cuddlebuns! I was checking them out the other day and marvelling at the prints. Nice work :) How long have you been a BBYWHAM for? And how do you get time to make any nappies with 4 kids?!! I find it hard enough with just the one (gasp). I need to get off this forum for a start....
Maz - do you get anything for them using your pics?
:lol: yup that's me, cuddlebuns and embroidered minkee - I have a love thing going with minkee right now.... Couple of bolts of it due to arrive here on Monday... If you don't hear from me I've become lost whilst rolling around in it :cryinglaugh:
Ha Bridie I felt the same when I did a bamboo co-op earlier in the year :lol:
Bridie - OMG I was at Melbels on the weekend with the other girls and AH I felt like I died and gone to heaven with the minkee she had...I had to control myself and only bought a meter of the huckleberry and the lagoon. I got some dot minkee to have a play with in purple and orange...but i find that the dot minkee doesnt stretch alot and is almost annoying to sew with at times. NOw share...what colours did you get :)
Cat - we didnt get anything from Coles but I think its nice to share your experiences sometimes with the world...its sometimes may more then actual money or gifts IFYKWIM
OMG just a quickie but I HATE HATE HATE sewing with bamboo velour. What kind of sadist invented that stretchy stuff. It takes aaaaaaaagesssssss to damn well pin it. Honestly I don't know how the WAHM's make any money as they would have to spend HOURS pinning one fricking nappy! And pinning it to PUL would have to replace Chinese Water Toruture as a form of interrogation.
I can see it now..."tell me who you work for or I'll make you pin bamboo velour to PUL" as I'm chained to a table in a bare room ;)
Raven- are you using noice ballpoint needles? I haven't had any issews with bamboo velour as yet. Though it depends who you get it from... I had some of the 90% bamboo stuff and I hated it, guh- like cheap panne velvet that falls apart everywhere...
The 80% and 20% poly is the best, and it dyes like a dream - see my first attempt.
I hate making tabs- but then I haven't got a method to follow, I just fold them however looks right :wall: my needles HATE velcro.
Maz - I recently parted with a Hucklberry bits for bots that was too small for Thomas :cry: Oh how I miss it.
I got some Avyln Rainbow Sorbet, and Misty Sea coming.... hurry up courier!
I best do something resembling sewing today. Been slack..
Lol Sammi! You should sell your interrogation theory to the governments who use those nasty techniques on baddies!
Sorry 'bout the rant ladies! It $hits me becasue the velour stretches and the PUL doesn't and I kept getting little gathered spots of velour if you get what I mean. Arrrrggghhhhh!
Nice dye job Bridie :D
I've been making a Very Baby AIO,the first in ages. I've been on a Honeyboy fetish of late. Now going back to the VB AIO pattern it's heaps trickier than the HB...but that could be due to the velour/PUL thing. Here I go again...
has anyone got any cream or white feathers material (the one that SL had), Id even be happy with the tan colour too...jus tpm me if you could. Im after some ASAP
Sammi - I cant wait to see this nappy.....it will rock no doubt (cause your a clever chicken) just remember not to throw out the left over's...send them via courier Trevor ;) ANd mental note - Maz is never to buy bamboo velour to work with, as lush and yummy as it looks.
Bridie - omg were on earth did you get such lushes colours from???? a coop...im getting addicted to buying minkee atm, i suppose cause its not fleece season pmsl
Caty - have you finished that devine butterfly yet?
I have also decided to make an easter cover for VY out of yummy sparkling material that Melbel so kinly gave to Caty and I on saturday..what do you put on the back of the lycra Caty to make it easier to work with?
I didn't like bamboo velour either but I think if you can find the stuff that only has 2% poly in it then that would be easier.
Maz, can you send me a picture of the material your after???
FJ - I will later - little miss has JUST gone done from being awake since 4am and my other feathers material is in there.
I might ring my SL too and see if they have any cause I remember seeing some on the clearance table for $4 a meter but I cant remember the colours dame it
I can't think of what it looks like at all.
Maz I'll have a looking at mine if I can, going to FG this arvy. Don't like your chances though!
My SL only have red and teal left (blah) thanks Sammi
What's everyone sewing/ knitting this weekend?
I'm buggered- I'm sure I've spent every waking minute snapping stuff since Saturday morning. Finally finished listing it all and I don't want to see another nappy all week!
Anyone know a good place to get printed PUL? I wants to make Thomas some nice show off nappies that aren't minkee!
You could pick your own print & send it off to Wild Child to be lamintated??
I made some MM covers this weekend & a prefold. LOL yep 1 prefold.
Now I am snapping night nappies LOL. Snap Snap Snap
That's an excellent idea :) But I'm lazy. Actually if I could just get to wild child stockings on time I'd stock up on daydreamers!
Enjoy the snapping :lol:
I made some lovely new covers for one of my secret squirels.......and I got my boys to th ink of lovely new idea's for me. I so have to clean my sewing corner..Ive got 4hit everywere!!!!!!
Oh my SL have micro polar atm in fantastic bright colours...hav eused alot of it this weekend so will b eheading back there to buy some more today. I cant believe they still had osme
