Just Wait 'Til You See This...

Do you see that thing? That thing on Daphne's buns? Here in the city we call it a diaper. And not just any diaper; it is actually an All In One Cloth Diaper. It has a water-proof cover, well padded insert and a fleece lining, all in one neat, diaper package.


















I made it this afternoon.

Yes, you heard right. My sewing skills now include diaper making. I was so excited about making this that I wanted to call everyone I know to share the great news. But I realized that would be a really boring phone call to receive.

ME: "Hey, it's Melissa. Guess what? I just sewed a diaper!!!"

YOU: "Ummmm..."

See? Boring.

I love using cloth diapers. They are the best thing ever, and now I can make my own. I need to find a better source for the water-proof cover material, because the place I went to had very little good to offer. I think part of the fun of making your own diapers is making super cute ones that you can't find elsewhere.




















(Sorry about the makeup-less face/dirty hair/sweatpants combo. Sometimes when you're staying home sewing diapers personal appearance takes a back seat. Daphne's open-mouth trance-like stare...I don't know her excuse.)

wow I'm impressed! If you need anyone to make extras for I'd be glad to take them off your hands :) I've always wanted to try some, but I'm scared cuz I have no clue what to order.

Daphne is thinking about her tractor experience and wondering if she should go back to Gramma's and try again.
Great job on the diaper!
