WAH! I had a bad sewing night last night and I'm still 
! I bought some really cool MM fleece that has this waterproof, thin, rubbery backing on it, clearly perfect for trying out a tiny little newborn pattern. Well, the rubbery backing (that was now on the outsides of both peices) was so sticky that it was dragging and stretching and bunching and puckering and piling up the stiches and 
Oh, I was getting so frustrated! It made my bobbin thread tangle up into these huge ratty messes, which then broken my needle, then the stitches were so close to the edge that I couldn't get my elastic on the seam allowance, then the two pieces were completely different sizes and the whole cover basically looked like a demolished piece of fabric, wrapped in ripped saran wrap, maybe that had been attacked by a wild animal. A wild animal that clearly did *not* know how to use a sewing machine. And you know, if I had endless time to sew, fine, this would be just freaking 
: but I don't, so it's not. I stayed up until 12:30am last night just trying to recover a little piece of fluff that I fear is destined for the firepit tonight! 
Thank you for listening, I feel better now.
Anyone else want to come in here and have a little cry?

This might seem kinda strange but, you could try to put some sort of paper on the bottom of the sticky side and sew threw it. So that the sticky side isn't actually touching your feed. Then when your done with that section, just rip out the paper like you would if you were paper piecing. (It's a quilting thing, don't know if you have ever heard of it.) I don't know if this helps, but hope so. 
I was going to invite you, too!
Sorry to ruin your plans. I'm having a hard time with this pollywog diaper pattern, could we burn that instead?

And that paper idea should get you some beautiful newborn covers!!!!
I had to get out the seam ripper on fix them. dumb dumb dumb.
I've got beautiful apple and fox print fabrics waiting to be made into diapers. And the most gorgeous wool sweater in shades of coffee waiting to be made into a soaker. I actually dreamed about that sweater last night.
