Ooga Booga Tinkle Time Trainer

Here is an Ooga Booga Tinkle Time Trainer made for a customer. I love the colors of this fabric together! I also love the ooga fabric, it makes for a REALLY cute trainer! The trainer is made from a knit fabric with 3 layers of an absorbent stretch terry cloth. I hope she enjoys it, I just wanted to share my work!

Socks are coming along!!!

As you can tell, I am beginning to make some progress in my socks. I have the feet and toes left to do on this one, and then to start the second. I have been incredibly busy, so I haven't been knitting them much. I was happy to see the heel begin to form though!!! I knew I was making progress because I could see the transformation happen!!! Hopefully by my next post, I will have 50% of my socks done. :)

My first pair of socks are coming along!!! I have about 4 inches done on the cuffs of the one pair right now, and am hoping to start on the heel sometime today. Knitting on dpns are so much easier than I thought it would be. I can't believe that I let them intimidate me! :) I hope to have this one sock done by this weekend! I think that would make for a good goal. Oh, and as you can tell, I am using yarn that you would make hot pad holders, or dishcloths out of, because I didn't know how it would turn out at first. I didn't want to buy expensive yarn until I knew how to knit using dpns! My next pair will be much cuter!

My first pair of socks in the making...

I am beginning to feel adventurous and want to learn to knit socks. I must say, I was VERY intimidated by using the double point needles. I have just started to knit them, but it's actually not that hard to knit in the round. I am very pleased with myself for learning to do this on my own. :) I never thought, in a million years, that I would be knitting socks, but here I am!!! I will post more pictures as I get more accomplished!

Look, I'm knitting!!!!

I have been wanting to learn to knit for quite some time now, and I finally just said, I want to do it! So, I asked my grandma, who is very good at knitting to help me out, and to show me the basics of knitting. I could have learned from watching videos online, but learning from my own grandmother was special for me. Now she can see what kinds of things I am working on.

The first two pictures are of the Transformers dishcloth I made for Jeremiah. He saw this and just had to have it. I made it in a day.

The bottom picture is of the first couple of garter stitches I did just for practice. I am getting better now, and I am feeling much more confident.

OS Diaper

I decided to try another pocket diaper for Dani. I had some really cute PUL and wanted to make her something out of it! I love how it turned out! This is a one size pocket diaper made with a welt pocket opening. I love how that turned out too! I feel I am getting better every day at sewing and making new things. The pictures of the diaper closed are on the smallest setting and the largest setting. I got the pattern here. It looks huge when cut out, but I would say it fits so nicely!!! I almost wish I would have known about this pattern a long time ago! I would have made most of her diapers this way from the start, since it's a OS diaper. The diaper is stuffed with a microfiber towel, and the inside of the diaper is microfleece, which is so soft.

Even baby dolls need to wear cloth...

I saved some of Danica's old cloth diapers from when she was a newborn for her dolls for when she learns some day to put the diapers on them. I am NOT going to buy disposables for her babies!!! So here are some pictures of her putting the diapers on her baby. Too cute!!!

Trimsies Diapers

I received the Trimsies pattern a little while ago back in August, and am just now beginning to post the pictures. :( These are both a size large Trimsies. I love the Care bear one!!! That is Danica's absolute most favorite one too. :) The Care bear diaper is made with the outer layer of flannel, and inner layer of pink microfleece, which is SOO soft! Then the inside soakers are made with hemp terry on the inside and the part that touches Danica is made with that same pink microfleece.

The bottom two pictures are also of the Trimsies pattern. I made both the inside and the outside out of cotton velour. This diaper just looks squishy. I showed it to Danica and the first thing she said to me was oohh, soft. :)

I like the Trimsies pattern! Even my husband was impressed with what I had made. He asked me if I was going to sell it! I said no!!! Plus, I'd have to get a license for it. I like these for my own stash! :)
