Things seemed a bit more productive this week.
Total:
12 pocket nappies
8 cloth pads
So 20 items this week plus 2 covers from last week, so that's 22 items out of 50.
Next week I should hopefully have finished a bunch more cloth pads. Yesterday was a bit of a disaster though. There was a power cut, well, not a proper one, just some problem with our house where the power to the sockets upstairs went out. For some reason that took out the power to my workshop outside. The power went out while I was in the middle of stitching out an embroidery design too. I was also prewashing some fabric and tumble drying another batch. I managed to get power back to my workshop in the evening but my embroidery design was screwed up.
The power is still out upstairs today. An electrician is coming tomorrow. I managed to finish my washing by running an extension cord from a downstairs socket. I even ironed it! Normally I'm allergic to ironing. It's some new flannel that I'm looking forward to cutting up!
I bought 3 metres of white PUL which I thought was plenty, but after cutting out about 50 cloth pads I've nearly used it all up. I only cut four nappy cuts from it.
My plans for the next week are to sew up some cloth pads and sew some AIO nappies. I also cut out some baby trousers. They weren't in my plans. I cut a few bits for making some fitted nappies too. I haven't started the pad hanging straps or wet bags yet. I'm not sure why because they're both probably the simplest things to make compared to everything else.
I'll update with some photos tomorrow.
