Another Nappy

This afternoon I got around to making another fitted nappy.
This time I used an old flanalette pillowcase for one layer, an old terry cloth nappy for the middle layer and also for the 4 layers for the insert, and my husbands woolen jumper that had a hole in it as the last layer. I am going to wait until I get some white velcro, plus I didn't really have enough black left anyway.

Nappy

After deciding to switch back to cloth nappies (for my boys, not me!) I stopped buying disposables and have now run out. But my lot of fitted nappies I ordered have not yet arrived.
Dilemma!
So tonight I have sewn one lovely nappy using 2 flat terry toweling nappies, and the starry fabric is from an old dressing gown! I only had a tiny a little bit of velcro, and it was black (white would have suited better I know).

I am very happy with how it has turned out for a first try!

I would put a photo of my son wearing it but I took so long, he fell asleep! Perhaps tomorrow...

Keroppi Frog

My sister-in-law loves frogs, so, inspired by Keroppi, I sewed her this:














I just printed out a large picture of Keroppi (found on the net) and cut up each part to use it as a pattern. It was all hand sewn and took ages. It's stuffed with cotton wool and wadding and would double nicely as a small cushion.

Shirt Reconstruction

I found a mens shirt that I really liked, and it was only $3 in Big W's end of summer sale!


So I picked out an extra large and just sewed it in. Now it's my favourite shirt.
