Wonder Woman

How fab is this fabric?  This will be turned into something pretty and retro soon. 

The school holidays have started and as I predicted things have slowed down here, there are only so many hours in the day and I keep running out of them.  I don't sew during the daytime and by evening there are days that I am just about ready to crawl into bed at 7pm with the baby!  Maybe I need whatever Wonder Woman is drinking...


I am still here though, maybe a little slower than I have been, but still working and perfecting what I hope will be loved by many others.


The medium tester nappies are cut and ready to be sewn up, I hope to have them ready in the next couple of weeks but I am still waiting on my shipment of snaps from the States.

Happy Fish Nappy

 A couple of nappies that I put together today - I have a 3rd 'sea scene' one too.  I love the lagoon and aqua sea gelato minky with the happy fishes.  I hadn't realized how many water nappies I had been putting together perhaps I am secretly yearning for a holiday on a tropical island surrounded by colourful fish..... Ah! a girl can dream.

Halloween Fabrics

 The large tester nappies have all gone to their new homes and I look forward to hearing how they are doing later on in the year.  I will be working on the mediums very soon but things will be a little more tricky around here when the children are on school holidays.  Fingers crossed we finally get some much needed sunshine!!
 

 I had to jump on this Halloween fabric when I saw it (because I like to be prepared).  It is gorgeous and will look awesome when put together.  The gelatos at the top have finally arrived in the country!!  We don't have as much choice as the USA and fabric like gelato is like gold dust here in the UK.  One of my suppliers found some and here it is - it is lush and I can't wait to find the right cotton to create something cool (any excuse to look at more fabric....!)

 A little nappy I have experimented with for baby MoonSticks.  Rocket Rascals with red and yellow minky - I added a star and a lightening bolt.  I had a lot of fun putting this one together and learnt some new techniques along the way.

Have a great Sunday everyone.

Let's talk about Boosters!

We all know that nappies (disposable or cloth) should be changed every couple of hours but there are times that this is just not possible and who wants to wake a child who has fallen asleep in the car just to change their nappy because it is 'time'?!...

My son is what I call a fast wetter so I needed something that would absorb the liquid quickly and then be able to hold it.  I tried lots of variations before I came up with this system which has a hidden layer of zorb (the fabric which absorbs in super fast time) and then 1 layer of bamboo.  The soaker then has  layers of bamboo which can be folded in half or shorter lengths of 3.

Nappy cuts

It has been a super busy and productive weekend making nappy cuts ready for sewing together.   I have had such fun playing with the fabrics and colours - there are so many divine fabrics out there to choose from!  


Some of these are full minky cuts and others are a cotton and minky mix which I have experimented on using different cutting and sewing techniques.   Having free rein to put together whatever I want is not only time consuming (because I keep changing my mind and then changing it back again haha) but also amazingly satisfying.   


Some of these will end up as 'give away testers'

A quiet child is probably up to mischief

When a child is quiet it generally means that they doing something that they shouldn't!

I thought Baby MoonSticks was 'reading' quietly in my bedroom while I sorted through the laundry.   When I double checked I found him smothering himself with cream!  After my 3 previous children have all done the same thing you would have thought that I had learnt my lesson - do NOT leave creams in reach of small hands.

Luckily no harm was done and no cat was involved (as in the case of my daughter and her friend at the same age) but Mama will be keeping a closer eye on him in future.

Taking a break from sewing tonight to watch The Woman in Black tonight with my eldest son - I am not normally a 'scary film' kind of gal so wish me luck haha.

Testers ready for their new owners

3 of the large tester nappies sewn up and ready for their boosters.

Fingers crossed these testers will be out next week.  Looking forward to seeing how well they hold up on different shapes other than baby MoonSticks.   

If anyone is interested in receiving one of these gorgeously soft nappies then please 'like' me on Facebook and I will let you kow when they are ready.
