My first diaper!

[nym]

I made a diaper! I am so proud of myself. I followed directions from www.diapersewing.com and just winged it in some places. The wings are a little different sized, but I'm sure my baby won't notice!

Here is a picture of it!

Ha, HA! I sewed my first ever diaper! HA, HA! Two mistakes, but hey it was my first. And my first real cut a pattern out to sew project. Ha, HA! I even had to take my sewing machine to Hancock fabrics to ask them how come my foot was too low to get two terry clothes in it. They showed me how to raise my foot higher than when it's normal up. (Hope I worded that right.) Mistake number one I had my outer and inner facing together like mentioned, but I think when I pulled them inside out to make it right, I took the wrong layers. Making my outer fabric still inside out. Does that make sense? Ha, HA I have what the fabric is suppose to look like above my diaper. And mistake number two I trim down my elastic on one leg, but forgot to do it on the other leg. So I have one nice looking gathers on the right and the left I barely have a gather. Hee, Hee! It's a outer made out of 100% cotton with layer of flannel right behind it, and inner (touching baby) was suppose to be fleece (now its a hidden layer, ha, ha!) And the hidden layer is flannel, two terry wrapped in flannel both top and bottom of the terry. So my diaper was suppose to be starting from the middle: fleece, two flannel cover terries on a flannel hidden layer, flannel, and cotton print. Now with my wrong sewing layers: flannel, flannel, two flannel covered terries on a flannel hidden layer, fleece, and cotton print inside out. Hee, Hee! But I must say my stitches were strong. I try later this week on another diaper and post it up.
