Thanks ladies, It is always nice to hear that your work looks good
Makes a hormonal preggo mama feel much better about selling off all the other WAHMs stash I had to get money to buy things to make Rainey dipes that fit her
I found this site that has some great links

And on this sight I saw a pattern that said try to sew the elastic in with the serge- I thought- "Why the heck have I not thought that??" So, I did it and it worked! It worked great- doesnt give you the frilly ruffles around the leg, but it went a billion times faster and looks great! I was pretty excited! I guess if you dont have a serger you could sew it in at the same time as you stich- I was pretty excited because I cut, sewed and elasticed all at once!
So tonight I got out the old navy fleece sweart shirt my sister give me for fabric, it got to fuzzy for- so I have had it for like a year, and tonight I made Rainey a cover, to see how easy it will be with wool- and it went super fast and it fits Rainey great- like little biker shorts- lol... It is not very thick so I dont know if it would be more than an around the house cover, but it was a good start and looks cute! I love when I make something for the first time and it looks good! Makes me feel like I really do know how to sew- even though I have no clue!
Rubidoux- I thank you for the complement on Rainey's name, she didnt have a name for 23 hours after she was born and we had not even talked about any name let alone Rainey- and I just love it too. Also, I am 28 weeks preggo so not only do I have to get this large stash together for Raineys growing body but I need to get my NB stach together for the new baby- does your friend like flats?
Try making some of these

It is so simple- all you do is get a flat and take some fabric and cut it down to the soaker size- you know all the layers in the center, and sew it on- It is to die for they are so cute.
