Then I got motivated tonight and tried a new diaper pattern my daughter wanted me to make for the little guy and I think it turned out pretty good for a first attempt. It's supposed to fit trimmer than some of the others. I guess we'll see when we try it on him tomorrow. It was fun to try a different pattern, since all of his other diapers I sewed from a pattern I made up myself. I have to say I think my homemade diapers have worked beautifully. I did a lot of research and purchased the same fabrics the commercial diapers use. I estimated I spent about $4-5 a diaper, compared to $16-17 for the commercial ones. Since we needed a couple dozen of each size, it saved a lot of money and once I got the hang of them, they sewed up pretty fast. Of course, before I could sew anything tonight it took me two hours to organize the sewing counter and find the snaps and snap pliers.

Love this bag!
ReplyDeleteI'm learning how to knit, the name of your blog pulled me in!
hello, fellow Jane! I just found and followed your blog via cookies ad clogs, and it's so nice to find a blog not filled with adds, product reviews, give-aways (and generally money making!) I like the bag, but you know what - I have a question - do you think it would be hard for me to learn to knit? - I have limited patience (I work with children and I'm a mummy, so all my patience is used up by the time it comes to learning new skills) but I'm a crafter... Please come visit me @ http://louandjane.blogspot.com/ Jane:)
