I've been hand sewing fleece pockets, so haven't been doing the leg elastic properly. Basically i've just invented my own way of doing it which consists of sewing the 2 peices of the pocket together, then adding on a tube of fleece to the leg area, filtering through the elastic and stiching each end. Its functional but not ideal.

I'm getting access to a machine for a short while so will do all the leg elastics on that, can you tell me step by step how its different with a machine. Basically i've not been following a pattern, i've just created my own nappies through trial and error based on analysing ones i have bought. I can see that they zig zag stitch it but thats about it!
