Update photos


This is what I've made so far. 12 pocket nappies (I still need to cut the threads though) and three patchwork covers.

 Some cloth pads with jersey and Windpro backing (except the one with purple wings. It's a flannel pantyliner). I don't really like the way they turned out.

These are jersey too. There's brown with llamas and some left over monster print that I cut some nappies from. They're both paired with black jersey. Jersey pads are a bit harder to sew than the flannel ones. I still have to cut the threads on these too.

These are two embroidered nappy cuts. I wasn't planning on making any more nappies but then I saw these designs and I had to make them.

These are made from some flannel scraps I had left over from another project. They just need stitched onto some backers now.
 These are some new flannel prints.
 Even more flannel prints. The monsters are going to be paired with grey flannel I think.
Even more flannel pads. I bought a bunch of FQs so I can only really cut two complete pads from each of them. I probably should have bought full half metres. There's a green and flowers, and those are mini foxes in the back. I've paired some with pink spots and there's a whole lot I just finished cutting out before I called it quits tonight. They're mostly floral. I have a bunch of jersey toppers I've cut out too but I think I'll focus on the flannel ones first. I'm not sure if I should keep cutting out until I've got all the pieces ready or if I should sew them in small batches.

Over the last couple of days I've been listening to audio books. I listened to a 12 hour book, and finished a 2 hour book yesterday and right now I'm about half way through a 17 hour book, so I suppose that's a measure of how long I've been working this week.

I hope to have lots more finished by the end of the week!

A few more things...

This top is made from Blessed Designs #1002. It is a nursing top. You lift the top layer and there are extended armhole openings in the white layer. Very good for keeping your stomach covered! It was so fast and easy to make! I will definitely make this again, but next time lengthen it by quite a bit. It's too short on me. Because I am small it makes me look even shorter! I think if I wear a longer top it'll make my body look longer and I'll look taller. The pink fabric came from my stash. I've had it about 4 years. It's not really my colour though. I just really wanted to try the pattern out. The hems were done on my sewing machine. I was too lazy to set my overlocker up to do cover stitch. I think they look pretty good and quite professional. Picture is a bit blurred though. One morning a few months ago I woke up and just randomly decided to sew this! I neglected my house for the day to sew it. It had just been waiting for snaps. It's f...

A KCK Rainbow!

I just finished sewing the last one! These are made with the Kayla's Cloth Kits sized pattern. I made the large size. They're all pocket nappies that I plan on stuffing with small sized prefolds. The pattern recommends stuffing with a microfibre cloth, but I've never been able to find any good sized ones around here. I seem to have quite a few in shades of blue. I'd really like to get some green PUL to even up my rainbow a bit! All the inners are made from suedecloth fabric (except the orange, which has a black microfleece inner). I've never used suedecloth before. I'm not sure if I like it or not. It's nice that it doesn't stretch while you are sewing, but it feels kind of synthetic. Thanks to M's help I managed to squeeze 7 inners out of 1 yard of the tan coloured suedecloth. They say men have a better spatial awareness, so I asked him to help me fit as much as possible onto the fabric. I got the suedecloth in a swap. The penguin one I bought ...

Some Goodies!

Before I start, may I direct your attention to my word count -------> 49,100! Only 900 words to go!!!!!!!! Alright, these are some things I got just recently. Some fabric from Purely Patchwork. Got some fabric for something I'm making for my mums birthday and some Christmas fabric too, to make some Christmas nappies. I spent a whopping £5.99 on a reel of variegated Christmas coloured thread. And I got some pins and needles. Moving on... a delivery of stuff for my new obsession from The Japan Centre in London. I've got 3 child sized bento boxes, farm themed plastic cups, farm themed mayonnaise containers, paper cases, rice ball maker, triangle paper cases, soy sauce bottles, teddy bear mould - for cookies, cutting sandwiches or a mould for rice, star and heart egg shaper and cocktail stick sort of things. Aren't they so cute!! They're for picking food up, like sliced sausage, or maybe fruit that's a bit messy. These are the sauce bottles, it says you can...
