Tinkle Time Trainers

I bought this pattern and printed it off, it's for personal use only, and thought it would be great to make Danica some underwear for when she learns to use the potty. I used an old t-shirt for this one. Not bad for my first time...

New Diapers

Here are some diapers that I am going to list at Etsy as soon as I get a chance. Two of them are a one size AIO diaper, one is a medium/large AIO diaper and the flower one, which is already at Etsy is a large AIO diaper.

Mama Cloth with Fleece

I know, the first thing you think of when you hear "cloth pads" is EEWWW!!!! Hear me out! They are so much more comfortable than your disposables out there! I thought about doing something new. I have a TON of fleece lying around my house, so I thought, why not try it for the backing of my pads for my medium days. Here are the pads that I made last night. I will let you know how they have worked for me later! I had fun with the fleece, because the fleece I have is so cute! The three pads that are white consist of a top layer of velour, a middle layer of either terry or hemp, I was just experimenting, not sure which one has what, then a bottom layer of fleece, along with two layers of fleece for the wings. So that's about 5 layers, one of them 6, but serging was hard for that one. :)

AI2 Cloth Pad

I decided to try out something new for my cloth pads that I have made. I bought some OBV, which is oh so soft! Then I had some fleece lying around the house. I saw something like this online, where you snap in the top of the pad to the liner, and when it comes time to change the pad, all you change is the pad part, but you keep the liner, and use it again. Once I got all of this cut out, it was so easy! I serged around the whole bottom part of the liner, and for the pad, it consists of a top layer of OBV, two layers of terry cloth, and a bottom layer of fleece as well. There is no PUL in this pad. It is completely breathable. For the liner, I made it with wings, and I have two snaps for adjustability. I do hope this works, and it is leakproof. I've heard so many good things about fleece, I wanted to try it out for myself. :)

Fixing my Bum Genius Diapers

Here is a before shot of the diaper...as you can tell, the elastic is in need of much care.
Here is the diaper halfway done. I wanted to see how well it turned out, so I turned the diaper, and I was amazed at how well it looked!
Here is the finished product! Looks almost brand new again, at least in the elastic part. This diaper has been used very well by my daughter. :)

I got this tutorial on fixing bum genius diapers. Mine are in need of some TLC, so I thought I would give it a try and see how easy it was. Boy! It looks like a whole new diaper! I am so thankful for this tutorial on how to fix them!

I can't believe that you can spend $18.00 a diaper, and have the elastic wear out! All the diapers that I have made so far have not worn out. The elastic is still in great condition and have plenty of life left of them. At least I know I can fix the ones I bought from stores! Now off to test my diaper!!!

OS Fitted Diaper

This is a one size fitted diaper. I have this picture on the smaller setting. To get to the smaller setting you fold down the top of the diaper and snap where needed.

When I made the snap in soaker I didn't want to use the suede cloth as well. But the suede cloth I used matched the little red spots on the diaper I wanted to use it on the inside of the diaper. I used my bamboo velour on the snap in soaker, and oh is it ever so soft! I may make a lay in soaker with this diaper, for some extra absorbency.
I thought it was fun to use colored snaps when making this diaper. It makes it for a better diaper, in my opinion.
Here is the diaper again, only made with a pair of matching booties. I love making baby booties. I have a friend whose sister is pregnant and I may make her some of my booties for her new baby. I think matching the diaper with the booties is even better. :)

OS Mushroom Diaper (Rita's Rump Pocket)

I decided to try and do something with this fabric that I had lying around the house. It's too cute to just go to waste. I made a Rita's Rump Pocket diaper with it. But the other pocket diaper I made out of this pattern was too small for Danica, so I made it a bit larger than the last time so hopefully it will fit her. I haven't tried it on her yet, but will do soon.

The diaper has an opening in the back where you stuff it. I stuffed mine with a microfiber towel. On the inside I used anti-pill fleece for stay dry. I love how the yellows match up with each other. This is my fun diaper.
