As for the wet bag, I have never sewn a zipper and frankly, it makes me nervous. I've read the tutorial on Take Time to Smell the Rose several times and it's bookmarked on my computer. Unfortunately, I only have my phone to use as a reference while at the sewing machine. It's a little too small to be helpful. I hate seam ripping and I know it isn't good to have extra holes in the PUL.
Now you can see why I'm leery to try projects, I can't sew a straight line!
I also tried making one out of a 0-3 month sleeper sack.
It's HUGE! There was even so much left off the bottom, it made a perfect skirt. I will be sure to post a picture if it fits my niece, Julianna!
Even though Tate just got 16 pairs of hand-me-down pajamas from his cousins, added to what he already had, he has been bugging me for some new longies. Plus, his nighttime fitted diapers are so big, I hate stretching the PUL covers to fit over them. Some soakers and shorties are on the list before it gets warm outside.




I love the thomas longies!! I may have to get some of that material to make some for ethan. great, another sewing project lol
ReplyDeleteI hear you on the hemming!! oh how I hate it!! Another thing is I hate sewing slow and it really shows ;-)
I forgot to say that taking a seam ripper to a knit item is NOT fun! I had to put it down and leave it for a few hours because I knew it would take forever to get out. If I wasn't so frugal with my fabric I would have pitched it in the trash lol
ReplyDeleteCamille's mother-in-law taught me to think of it as "sewing backwards" :-). And - who needs hems when he's going to grow out of them before they wear out??
