New Craft Space!!


OK so this is not the ideal craft room but I am just happy to have a little corner of my own. I previously used a shelf to store my stuff, and lugged stuff back and forth to and from the kitchen table when I used it. That was awful because it meant no family dinner when I was working on a project. It was way to much trouble to load up and then unload after. So I am very grateful to my husband for doing this for me.
YAY!

Stocking Stuffers

So I can't put off my Christmas list any longer. I am a total procrastinator. Anyway This is one of many little gifts I will make for family and friends this Christmas.
First off I found the template for these little baby dipes on www.skiptomylou.org.
I changed it up a bit by making it a little more ajustable.


Supplies list
Inner and outer fabric
pdf template
Velcro
Matching Thread
Sewing Machine
Straight Pins
Scissors
Iron
          First I picked out some cute fabric. Mine was flannel for outer fabric, and fleece for inner fabric.


                                Then I downloaded my template here and cut out all my pieces.

 Then I cut out my fabric. :-)
From here on i just pinned the two pieces of fabric right sides together and stitched (1/4" seam allowance) almost all the way around,  leaving about a 2" opening. Then I turned my diaper right side out through the 2" opening and top stitched all the way around. Here is my finished product.
I made six total. Great stocking stuffer for a baby doll love! r:-)
I also made two bibs but Brez woke up and I had to stuff them away before I could take a pic.
