Thanks. I just wing it. Stuff comes out better when I'm not trying to use a pattern.

**virginia** · 08-07-2010, 01:02 PM

Yea, Ive been trying that more. I had me a shirt half made, and then silly me, set the iron on fabric I had not tested and it uhm..melted

**Santasmomma** · 08-07-2010, 02:04 PM

Heres what I made today...I wanted to use a zigzag on the top but I forgot...lol this is front and back

**AmandaAK** · 08-07-2010, 05:08 PM

Everyones been so busy! I'm so excited I can finally post pics on my latest projects.
I made these pants last week from a wool sweater from the thrift shop. Havnet lanolized them yet and they wont fit her for long, but I love how they came out.
I did put the waist on backwards. Not sure if I'll fix it.

**AmandaAK** · 08-07-2010, 05:11 PM

And 3 new diapers I made while housesitting this last week.
I'm really happy with the purple and pink one. I played around with the length and wings and finally got it the way I like. I'm still playing with the elestics.
The top is a minky and OBV. It's sooo soft, but for some reason it's a little funky looking. The Soild zebra has a sewn in soaker and I've desided I don't like that. Takes too long to dry. I'm going to stick with lay in soakers.

Oh, and if anyone wants to do another diaper cut trade or sell I have some left of each fabric.

**dworth629** · 08-07-2010, 05:40 PM

I'll take some of that minky... I'll post pic tonight of the fabrics I have jsut bught a bunch today.

Not really diaper related, but here's the romper I made last night.

**virginia** · 08-07-2010, 09:52 PM

Love the romper!

**jessievinson** · 08-07-2010, 09:55 PM

That romper is adorable! The baby wearing it is cuter though

**kynliod** · 08-08-2010, 03:16 AM

WIP--what will hopefully work out to be some wool longies. My first attempt, so I am not being super picky about perfection on this one, just mostly trying to work out the pattern. I'm making them in a medium size.

Thanks everybody!
I didn't use a pattern but I kind of copied a romper she already has that I love (this one http://www.target.com/Infant-Toddler...k&frombrowse=1). I was so tired though and it was so late that I didn't feel like making the bias trim for the legs and arms out of the knit, so I just used FOE. It came out ok, kind of retro... but I'll do things differently if I make another one. It's a first pancake.

They look great! I really love that green minky ... if you end up with extra, let me know and I'll definitely try to find something to trade with ya!

First Pancake--haha, I've never heard that one before, I like it.

TBH, I like your design better! But I really like retro, so go figure. XD

The purple diaper is really nice too. I like the tie-dye!

I couldn't see the pic of the shadow boxes. I would love to see it though... I'm curious!

here it is.. made this for my friends daughter you can tell but some of the letter and flowers are raised ( reason I use shadow boxes gives it a nice 3d effect

**virginia** · 08-08-2010, 08:16 PM

Jess I will have a pic of your dragon one in a bit

**virginia** · 08-08-2010, 08:53 PM

Jess

DH is going to bed shortly, so I was kicked out of my room

V, those diapers look so soft! Love them!

**virginia** · 08-08-2010, 09:10 PM

I cant wait till he can wear them! Figured Id put snaps on eventually haha I love that velour

**i.<3.cheesysmiles** · 08-08-2010, 09:46 PM

I love that shadow box!

**AmandaAK** · 08-08-2010, 10:55 PM

I am so torn on the snaps thing. I really only want to make a few more 'perfect' diapers and be done with it and just cant justify a press. I think i'll end up sending my favs out to someone to have snapped.

Course I havent tried velcro yet.

**virginia** · 08-08-2010, 10:58 PM

I like both. I do like snaps better, but dont have an easy way to do them. I can go to my friends, but Im not going to take every diaper to her haha though, I do have black and white snaps coming soon, so I need to get on getting dies or something..

But I do like the velcro

Nathan takes anything off, so it doesnt matter that way haha my friend was shocked when she saw him rip the snaps open on his fuzzibunz
