Diapers in Use!!!

Here is Danica in her fitted purple diaper and wool soaker I made. The diaper is from the Mama Bird Pattern, and the soaker is from the Katrina's Sew Quick Soaker Pattern. I love both of them. These diapers fit her so well right now, but I know that soon she will be out of them because she is growing up so fast. They grow out of the newborn diapers within the first month or two, it's crazy! I am planning on making some more soon, but we've been busy lately. (You can see why:-}) I have also made some nursing bra pads, which I will post later.

First Cloth Diaper!

Here is Danica in her first cloth diaper! She is only about a week old, so it looks huge on her! It was made by my cousing Erin, she is a stay at home mom, and makes cloth diapers of her own. She recently got a snap press, and made this diaper for me to try on Danica. She looks so cute in it! The funny thing is Joel, Erin's son, wore this diaper not to long ago himself, so I know that it is going to last Danica quite a while. Thanks Erin, it's cute!

Different Diapers/Covers

I decided to get my lazy bum into gear and start making more diapers. My little one will be here in five weeks or less, and I really needed to get into gear. This diaper was made using the Mama Bird Fitted Diaper Pattern. On the inside I used sherpa. I love using the sherpa because it makes the diaper seem sooo soft.

These two diapers, I made using the Darling Diaper Pattern. One is made using snaps, which I borrowed from my cousing, and the other one I figured I could pin or use a snappy on it. They are both infant fitteds that are made out of old t-shirts that I found around the house. They are actually made out of my maternity shirts that are too big for me, so they stretch a lot, compared to other t-shirts. I had a lot of fun making these diapers, and the snaps are awesome to use.

This is from the Rita's Rump Pocket Diaper Pattern. I used flannel I got from Jo-Anns fabric store that was on sale. I know I am having a girl, but I figured this diaper is going to need a cover, so that is why I have my John Deere fleece cover. The fleece covers are made from the Rita's Rump Cover Pattern. They are both very easy to make, and take almost no time at all once you start them. I really liked how the Pocket Diaper turned out, and I might actually go and buy some girly flannel so she can have some cute diapers.

New Sewn Wool Soakers

I found out how to sew wool soakers together from old sweaters. It's so easy, and it's a lot of fun. They look great when they are finished and they are so colorful as well. My cousin gave me the site for the pattern, and I love it! They look so cute!!!

This one is one of my newborns. The wool is super soft. Perfect to bring her home in!!!


These two are from the same pattern. The one to the left is a small, and the one to the right is a medium. I'm trying to make all that I can right now, because once the baby gets here I won't have time to make them as much as I am now. These are easy, and they don't take too much time at all.



These are my small leggings the baby can wear when she gets here. It is a wool soaker, but I think they're cute just to be worn as pants, and I can put a pocket diaper on with these. It's made from an old sweater from my cousin, and they're my first pair. I think they turned out pretty good! As I make some more I will post more. I am now working on a pink pair of leggings she will be able to wear when she is around one year of age.

Space Diaper

Here is my most recent diaper. It is a space pattern PUL, Jeremiah really likes outer space, and so he wants his baby sister to wear this. The pattern I used is a celtic cloths pattern, which I printed from their website. I sewed the elastic on the seam again, so the suede cloth would show through. You can really see it on this diaper. It's a medium, so she won't be able to wear this diaper for awhile. But it's best to be ahead of the game, and have all that I need before she gets here.

Swim Pocket Diaper

I decided to make a new pocket diaper. It has swimming/lifeguarding things around the material for the PUL. I also decided to sew the elastic on the seam, so that the suede cloth was showing on the outside of the diaper. It's kind of hard to see because the PUL is whitish in color, and the suede cloth is also white in color. It turned out to be great though!!!! I used the mama bird pattern again, but I tweaked it a little bit. I added some of my own features that I really like. Such as a tab for the back elastic to come down. I could use this as a diaper, and as a swim diaper for early summer, even though it has the touch tape.

This, to me, is my cutest diaper yet! I am very proud of myself for this one. It shows that I am getting better as the days continue.

We're having a baby girl!!!

Well, we just found out this weekend we're having a baby girl. I have nothing for a baby girl, since my first was a boy. I can't wait to start making pink and purple fitteds for her. I think it will be so cute. I may change the diaper that I want the baby to come home in, now that she's a girl, I don't want her to come home in blue and plaid. I want her to come home in something more girlish. Will post more pictures later as I make more!!
