2017-Feb: Baby pants (assorted!)

Some of these ended up at a baby shower, and some as an elementary school auction donation!

2017-January: Dorybird cloth diapers with wing-to-wing prints

I had the solid PUL outers and microfleece inners cut out for a very long time.  I finally sewed them up, adding some wing-to-wing (W2W) prints -- all for C.! These are size Large.

2017-January: Rest of the Motherease Repairs!

Here they are! The rest of my repaired Motherease Wizard diapers!

This post shows the first one I fixed.

Below are all the rest!

Each one looks different with its own unique contrasting FOE and snaps (of course! Would you expect anything else from me?). I love how they turned out, and they work great!  The only issue for me is that C. is starting to outgrow them, even with the extra snap setting I put on them.  These are great diapers, and so easy to use, too!

2017-January: Dorybird Cloth Diapers!

In January I worked hard to get a variety of my cloth diapers ready for my shop launch in March.
I ended up making 10 diapers in Newborn, Small, Medium, and Large.

All these diapers (and subsequent new ones, of course!) can now be found in my shop!

2016-December/January 2017: patched pants

Just some more pants fixes I did for the girls -- long overdue!

2016-December: Rainbow Night Pants

One of my last 2016 projects was a pair of MINKY-LINED pants for E. for Christmas.  One leg is the amazing night sky print you see, and the other has a cute manga-style Rainbow Bright on it (best ever)!

Who wouldn't love minky-lined pants?!  She wears them all the time.

Waterproof Owl Mittens

C. has been lacking in mittens this winter, so when her one pair got wet I wanted to make her a spare fast!

I skimmed some how-tos online and decided the quickest thing to do was a simple turned hand outline.  I used microfleece for the lining, bamboo fleece for the insulating layer, and PUL for the outer.  (Thanks, cloth-diaper-making materials!)

I added a bit of elastic at the wrist, and ended up topstitching closed the bottom turning hole.

These mittens are a bit snug to put on, but they work!  Next time I want to try adding a cuff containing full elastic for her wrist.  I've promised E. a pair of her own gloves, too (of course), and even A. wants a pair for himself, so I'm going to make him some gloves for Xmas -- and try those cuffs!
