I've been sewing

I don't love to sew. I can do it but with no real time to do so, it seriously just frustrates me to death. The fact that I have to drag out and put up things each time is the biggest downside. Anyways so I stayed up late and this is what I got done... 4 Chloe Toes, 1 Cutie Patootie OS. I added a crossover tab to be able to snap it shut when it is soiled.

I have a few of these mediums made for Ty a while back which he can still fit in but they are still a little big on Kailey.

Sew Many Choices


Yeah I'm corny and I'm ok with it lol. Kailey Bug and her usual camera pose.
I keep wasting away a lot of time lately because Kailey's prefolds are getting harder to put on. While I love my GMD prefolds because they are absorbent, I didn't have to trim them, there's no elastic to leave marks (look at that nice fold job :) ), there is also a little lack of cuteness.


So therefore I am trying to decide whether or not to sew some dipes.. there are some really cute flannel prints on sale at Joanns online right now and I am a sucker for flannel.. and cute prints. I could get prefolds, sew a few prints on and/or dye them or just sew up some diapers.. thou gh if I chose the latter.. it might not get done! lol Ever since my serger quit working.. I quit sewing and I really need some more wipes! I really would go for the whole embellished prefold thing but I don't already have dyes and I can't only buy a small amount of flannel. There are so many patterns I like right now and you have to buy the yard. At the same time.. I have a snap press I need to use more, and patterns.. and fitteds are easier when on the go and crawling babies and Kailey will be there before I know it.
I tried to do my Chloe Toes pattern as a fitted before but it didn't fit the other two kids well. Kailey however has a nice fit with this in a small size. See? Made out of an old receiving blanket of Alyssa's.
I also found out she fits well in a fatty cakes medium pocket diaper that my son can also (but barely) wear. We'll see what I chose because the sale is almost over... decisions, decisions..

Babylegs and new fluff

I saw them on sale recently but still couldn't bring my frugal self to pay $6 for a pair.. so I finally bought some knee highs and this is the result. BTW I'm making up for lost time on posting *big grin*

DH also finally agreed on some new fluff since the pockets kept leaking and I've wanted to only use wool anyways! :D
