My makeshift clothesline -

My newest diaper with a cute fleece outer fabric. Soaker is sewn into the inner fabric and is 2 layers of MF and 2 layers of Terry. Seemed to do the trick today. I need to fix the elastic, though. I don't like the elastic I had - I'm going to change it out to other stuff I got. Otherwise it works pretty good. The inside is blue flannel and apparently needs to be washed a couple more times. Audrey was covered in blue flakes when I took the diaper off.

You all are so talented! I would LOVE LOVE to learn to sew, I have wanted to for years. I think I may ask santa for a machine this year!

Finished Jammies for Becca

(hope you dont mind me sharing them with people before I send them to you!)

**sara1215** · 08-02-2010, 09:53 PM

I used to sew scrub tops for myself, but those were pretty easy. All straight lines. I don't know if I could do elastic or tiny little diapers.

The way I do elastic is easy peasy. Sew at one end where I want the elastic to be,top stitch around the elastic and then stretch it as much as I can and then sew the other end.

**Lisa-Bo-Bisa** · 08-02-2010, 10:02 PM

Where do I order your jammies??

You dont tack it at both ends first? So do you have a safety pin or something on the elastic to pull it through? My brain isnt figuring out what your saying

I hold it in place and position it under the foot, sew a zig zag, back stitch and then do a straight stitch, turn it, stitch along the elastic and once I get to where I want the other end of the elastic should be, I turn the diaper to the side, then I pull it as tight as I need to and do a zig zag to the edge and then back stitch and straight stitch. Then I cut the elastic. I dont pre-cut the elastic, I always messed it up that way, so I just leave it full length and then trim.

Right now, I am taking orders wherever people decide to order them

Mostly through my FB page

Although I am working on setting up shop on Etsy or HC.

**virginia** · 08-02-2010, 10:08 PM

Oh you stitch it down? Yea, I dont do that anymore haha Its a lot faster for me to tack it good at both ends, turn the diaper right side out and then top stitch around that. I was trying to figure out what you meant and couldnt

but Im getting tired too lol
