Cloth Nappy Making #5

[xtml]

hi everyone, i lurke from time to time, but rarely post.

i've been making pockets from fleece and cotton, recycled PUL and micofleece, and was really happy with the results. So i bought some new PUL and suedecloth and made a few more- the last one i made was almost finished when i realised... i sewed the suedecloth on backtofront! i don't know if i can bear to pull off the elastic and unstitch the whole lot to start again, i was wondering if anyone had ever made this mistake? what did you do to fix it? my only idea was to find enough spare suedecloth to hand sew a large section inside so baby's bum stays dry.

oh no you duffa

I've done a complete pull apart and remake. Frustrating because it was overlocked, but I was happy with the end result.

you know raven, after i spelt out that it was just the elastic and straight sewing, it didn't seem so overwhelming. i haven't done it yet, but figure it' can be acheived while half watching tv one night.

i'm more frustrated with the sewing machine. its a brother 2600.. i got it for under 200 on sale at sl about 6 months ago. lately it's been skipping stitches and tension wrong etc so i cleaned it of fluff, changed the needle and now it's even worse. the needle doensn't go back into the right position- it's slightly left from tightening the screw. i'm scared to try to finish the two nappies that only need velcro sewed on- i don't wanna stuff it up.. it makes me so cranky, so i rang spotlight to ask for technical assistance. gonna take it in today when the little ones wake up.
