The Best Trinsies I ever made

I think this is the best trimsies I made.

Because my vintage Singer doesn't have zigzag, so I have been tacked both end of leg elastics. For some reason, my side seams are always off, they look ugly.

This time I did it on my own way, I sewed the top of inner and outer fabrics together first, then I sewed the side seams, after then I sewed the legs, rolled in 1/4" and topstitch it. Sewed 1/2" from the topstitch I did and insert elastic.

Now my side seams and leg openings are beautiful!!

The Green Chick is Size M, and the Robot is Size S.

Malden Mills Fleece Diaper Cover

I bought those Malden Mills Fleece about a month ago, finally, I have time to sew a diaper cover with it.  It is really good quality, so soft and thick.  Now I feel the fleece I bought from JoAnn are crap!!!!! 

The covers with it are more professional looking and feels like bullet proof.  It should last forever.


I bought 7 yds, so I plan to sew some pants and jacket for Lukie.

Diaper Cover

I haven't sewed for a while, coz Lukie has to take a nap with me, if I left the bed, he would wake up in 30 mins.  So I have been crocheted a lot, since I can crochet on the bed.  Finally, yesterday, he fell asleep in the swing.  I was able to sew 2 diaper covers.

Official Addicted to Cloth Diaper Making!!

I am official addicted to cloth diaper making, I just made few more diaper covers, soakers and pocket diaper (first time).  I haven't taken any pics of the soakers and pocket diaper.  But I did take pics of the diaper cover.

I got the pattern from Cloth Revolution, it is free, and the instructions is very detailed.  I really love the pattern, it fits very well.  I used fleece as outer fabrics and PUL as inner fabrics.  Works great!

Here is the link for the pattern:

Another Baby Bloomers/ Diaper Cover

Just made another one, I love it.  This time I did much better job, very happy with the result!!!

First Diaper Cover

Lukie's diaper covers are getting tight and old, it left "ring" on his legs, even though it is an adjustable, supposed up to 30+ lbs.  And it starts to leak around the leg areas, I don't want to buy more, so I decided to make my own.  Last week, I bought the PUL and some patterns at JoAnn.  I bought 3 different patterns, one is diaper cover, one is bloomer and the last one is panties.  I planned to sew the PUL as linning for the bloomer and panties, so Lukie doesn't need to wear prefold, diaper cover and short.  I think it will be too hot in the summer.  So I came up this idea that bloomer and diaper cover 2 in 1.  I just cut the fabrics, then I noticed that I traced the pattern wrong, so now I have to cut the fabrics again, what a waste!!  Coz I can't reuse the fabrics and PUL.  I wish the patterns are easier to trace, they are so light color, hard to read.

Anyway, last night I sewed the diaper cover, it seems very easy and simple.  I used McCall's pattern M6108, but I was wrong, it is hard to do the way the instruction says, coz the PUL is very hard to sew, the tension is always off.  So I didn't follow the instruction at all.  And the size is not really fitted, I sewed size S for Lukie, but it is very loose.  I am not too happy with the diaper cover, but it could be me.  Coz it is the first time to sew PUL and elastic, it was very challenging for me.  I will try again later, if Lukie let me.  He is really needy!!  :P

And I don't have Velcro or plastic snap buttons at home, so I used metal snap buttons I bought long time ago, so far it seems ok.  I am not sure that do I want to buy the KAM snap press or plier, it seems too much investment.

The diaper cover may not look good, but it works fine, so far it didn't leak at all.
