So as I posted about my clothes pin bag before I have some pictures for you all on what I did to remedy the problem, I made my own out of an old hand me down dress that was given to us for Mila. I would have never put it on her and was saving it for her to use for her dolly's when she get's older so I figured I may as well try my hand at the pattern I found on line.
I turned the dress inside out and sewed up the arm holes, I sewed up the bottom of the dress and I sewed a straight line in the back of the bib that goes around the neck of the dress. I also sewed the back of the dress together at the first button hole so that it stays permanently shut. Before I did this I put the hanger in cause it would not have fit after I sewed it up. I also just used an old dress hanger from one of Mila's dresses so that was free also. All in all this project took about 10 min's from start to finish and cost me nothing at all to make.
The front, you can see how I stuffed the cuffs of the arms in and sewed it and then the same with the ruffle on the bottom.
This is the back, you can see the stitch that I made on the bib around the neck and how the row of buttons being open on the back make a perfect pocket for you hand to reach in and grab out pins when you need.
I also made a Katrina Diaper Cover Soaker tonight, I was super surprised at how easy it was to make, here is the site for the pattern and the instructions if your interested in make it.
I don't sew, I have a machine and I can sew a straight line but I have never followed a pattern before and this was surprisingly easy. It was done up in about a half hour and I found the most time consuming part was cutting out the pattern, pinning it on the fabric and cutting the pieces out.
I used some old fleece blankets that I had laying around that we were not using anymore. I think this one turned out good. It was easy to sew up and the instructions were really easy to follow. I will be making more of these in the next few days.
This is the front, I also added two extra layers for the wet zone so you can see the stitching there. I know the lines are not so perfect but I really don't mind, it's not like I am selling these or anything.
This is the back, I think that I may have messed up on the right leg cause for some reason it's got a pucker there. I am not sure what I did but it could have been easily messed up cause those legs were not to easy to sew on. Like I said I am new to this and I kept stabbing myself with the pins.
