Neighbor kids? No day off for you I bet. LOL. Yes, Flav. Thanks. Maybe some others will join in and tell what they're having for supper. Hungry here, but haven't thawed anything and nothing sounds good. Except watermelon of course, but that's not in season so it won't be good. Ideas anyone? |

LOL. Your kids are so lucky to have you. How many parents let other kids come in and play on a day like this! Not many, as proven by your full house. Hope you don't get sleet or wind. That icy crap sucks. Doesn't that just fit about the groundhog not seeing his shadow. Doesn't matter if he does or doesn't, we're still gonna get six more weeks of winter from the time ol' Puxatawny Phil is dragged from his slumber. Good thing is that summer is on the way. 8) |

Texan Buckeye User ID: 1533753 United States 02/21/2013 10:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hi guys! Yeah...I found our kitchen Sorry I missed the beginning chats. We went into the city on several missions. I even finally found pre-fold diapers to make burp towels. Now I have to order a new foot pedal for my machine. I think I threw it out by mistake when I got rid of a "dead" sewing machine. We had a beautiful afternoon. The wind died down and just a few clouds. The stars are out now. |
Nine's User ID: 23438707 United States 02/21/2013 10:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Bout time you showed up TB. LOL. Thought of you earlier and how crafty you are and here you are talking about making burp cloths. Was thinking what fun to make little tiny things for babies, and those little velcro diapers came to mind. They're really expensive to buy, but not much to make them. I think the brand name is Bummies?? Not sure, but you can make liners, use different materials, have a cover of wool or whatever you want. If your buy the baby material, they have some of the cutest patterns in the fabric. You can get a free copy of the pattern online I think. Even if the kids didn't want them now, if they run out of disposables some night when they're exhausted, they'd love having a few of them. Another cute thing is taking a dish towel, cutting out a neck, leaving some to go over the shoulder, folding up the bottom for a little pocket, and sewing trim on it. You must be so excited! Just googled it. It's bummi...no e on the end. Look at the "original wrap" under the "New" tab. Easy to make and easy to change.

You know what's funny? I bought a discounted book at Hobby Lobby a month ago with the patterns and directions on how to make the fitted diapers and swimmies! We saw them at Target already made. I've been looking all over for instructions to make all kinds of things! I found some really cool bibs, too. I found a couple of different ways to finish off fleece blankets that I'm going to make as soon as I find my rotary cutter and mat. I hope it's not in storage! |
Nine's User ID: 23438707 United States 02/21/2013 10:38 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | That's awesome TB. My post was edited to add the website. Looks like you can buy diaper materials from them now. It used to be that you had to look high and low to find diaper flannel and wool that was soft enough, yet absorbent for a baby. Here's a link to some free patterns. You might already have it. There's a cute little diaper pouch and changing pad among other things. [link to www.allfreesewing.com] |
