Some recent sewing

I would like to share some recent sewing. Last week I made an awesome duffle bag. We used it last weekend for a quick overnight and it fit our pj's and a change of clothes for all 5 of us!

Next, I made an outfit for the neighbor's new baby.

Today I made PJ's for our oldest daughter.

Trainers!

I just wrapped these up yesterday. They are trainers with a little absorbtion but no waterproof layer. So cute!

While the Cat's away, the Mouse will play!

DH was gone this weekend on his manly trip to the Boundary Waters. While he was roughin' it with the guys in the cold, rainy, windy wilderness, I was the cozy environment we call home hangin' with all 3 little ones and sewing until my heart's content!

I had amazing success and created a few goodies!

First, it took me a couple days to whip these out, but I got 3 Emmeline Aprons done for Christmas gifts. Sorry for the crummy photo. It's the best I could do this morning.

I also managed a pair of TDK (that darn kat) undies. They're a size 4, so they are just a wee bit too small for J. That's okay, I have size 6's planned for this week! I just needed to try the pattern. I also tried the Ottobre boxer briefs but it turned out hideous. I will be modifying my MO on that one. I figure it out though, during M's late night feeding. That's when I think things through.

Finally, my fav project of the weekend: The Amy Butler Nappy Bag!

I LOVE it!! I was able to purchase the pattern online Wednesday, the gal shipped it on Thursday, I roughed it through a trip to the fabric store w/3 antsy children on Friday, the pattern arrived on Saturday just before lunch, and by midnight Saturday, I had a new diaper bag!!! It's great! I can't wait to use it today. :)

Well, I have plans to sew undies for J and trainers for K this week. We'll see how it goes. :) Oh, I'm also knitting the last of 3 skirties for mommyz on diaperswappers. What a great mama!

Busy, busy, busy!

Wanna see what I've been up to this month??

Thought so!!

I finished up K's large pocket diapers:

Made 15 med. pockets, a travel wetbag, and an AIO for M:

I also tried a new pattern for K. It's called QSFW (Quick Sew Flat Wrap). I heavily modified it to my liking, but that's where my inspiration came from. This one needs a cover, but is super absorbant!

So, now all other diaper sewing is optional! I've gotten done our ENTIRE stash of cloth diapers!!! I'm so proud! All this while feeling VERY preggo!!

It's been a busy month!

I'm working so hard on getting our new baby's diapers sewn. I've almost got the newborn size complete. Just a dozen left to go! Then I'm on to the small size! Here are some pictures of what I've gotten done so far.

New Undies!

I was able to sew a little yesterday. Here are the undies I sewed for J. I made a trial pair a week ago out of an old ARMY t-shirt. He likes them better than his store-bought undies! So I had these cut out and was able to find 10 minutes to sew them together. He likes that they don't have elastic to them. The knit fabric is stretchy enough to act as waist and leg bands. All of his newly bought undies seem to have elastic issues. Why do they have to frey after one washing? That leaves a tiny piece of elastic that inevitably gets caught somewhere in his pants and snaps him. While it's kind of funny to see, ya gotta feel for the kid!
