Here are a few of the sewing projects that were on hold as I finished William's fish costume. The long sleeve bibs/smocks are from the Japanese pattern book Marie' sent me. Just in time for Thanksgiving and all sorts of holiday feasts and Jell-O salads, these bibs will save me from the annoying task of spot washing. They are backed with waterproof fabric and will be easy to toss in the wash unless I think they are too cute themselves and feel the urge to spot wash them.
Then we have Clara showing off my second homemade cloth diaper. The first one I sewed was just as cute, a soft pink velour but was soiled before I could catch a photo. I made both as pocket diapers because they dry so much quicker. The outer fabric is lined in PUL to make it completely waterproof and the inside is a soft organic cotton/bamboo fleece. I am still working on the perfect soaker pad (which sits inside the pocket). The ones I made where 2 layers of organic Hemp jersey with 4 layers of diaper flannel sandwhiched in between. They were fine in the day but did not do the job overnight. I may stick with the micro fiber fuzzi bunz inserts and just sew my own super cute diapers. The only problem with this diaper is it is Maryanna's favorite and she always wants to wear it. I guess I should just make her one in a training pant style.
I think David needs the smocks.
ReplyDeleteYou have a new buisness in the works with the diapers & bibs. What will you call it... "No more Poops & Scoops"?
Wow, Amy Butler diapers! Love the colors.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had a smock when I was pregnant. Cute, cute, cute!
