I finally got my act together and fixed my sewing machine yesterday, and spent a blissful afternoon finishing off my prefolds!!! I also get creative with some left over fleece and made my puppy a jacket.
Maz - I Maxi swirled the edges of my prefolds... They look fabo... DH even thought they looked fancy!!
Felt so good to get back into sewing. Tonight I have to finish off my covers... I am going to try and make one with gussets...
I have almost finished OL 40 covers..yes 40!!! my neck is so sore atm! I sat down on the floor last night, traced out the pattern, cut it and then pinned all the inners ect...ahhh and ive got minkee fluff everywere!!!
Ruf - you go girl...I might have to use maxi on everything now..pmsl. I used the soft colours on some NB dot minkee covers and OMG they look so gorgeous!!!!
pm - woo hoo on cover nappies not falling apart. You really need to put up a pic in the gallery :)
off to wash some bamboo to make boosters...Ive got the sewing itch BIG TIME!!!
It must have been the day for it yesterday. I was off work sick (figured there's no point me giving everyone in the office a disgusting cold) and so cut out all my fleece patterns & liners. I might tackle the bamboo today. I'll figure out how to pop some pics up and post them.
Hmm, wasn't getting notifications for awhile. *shrugs*
Jols, I prefer snappi, because it gives such a versatile fit.
Maz! I didn't know about Babydelight! Thanks heaps, been looking for Sherpa everywhere. (Sammi I think Bubba Earth are out of sherpa at the moment)
And whoa hun that's a productive time you've been having! Wowee!
pm - hope you're better soon.
Sorry non-sewer crashing in on the sewing thread. My sewing experience is limited to quilts (ie straight seems etc) I have a Happy heiny that is exposing the elastic in the back... so how do I sew elastic, do I just stretch it out as far as it will go and sew? Any tips?
TIA
