The zipper is back in the maroon dress... let's hope the fit is better! I was able to take it in about 2.5"... we'll see later when I get the facings, etc sewn... really don't want to take it apart again! keeping my fingers crossed!
getting ready for two classes tomorrow... a "bag holder" class and a "ruffle" class with the project being a retro apron! I already cut the fabric, ribbon, elastic, etc. for both projects.
yesterday, we made the "new mommy burping cloths" using Gerber prefolded premium padded diapers & lined one side with flannel. the flannel keeps the cloth on the mommy or daddy (or granny & pop pop) instead of a plain diaper sliding off... plus it gives an extra layer of protection!
if you want to do this project... be sure to cut each piece of flannel to match each individual diaper... the sizes & shapes in the package are not exact... we found out yesterday! I used one diaper to cut all the flannel & it wasn't perfect... close but not exact! after cutting, pin the flannel to the diaper & straight stitch @1/2" all around.. then in between the straight stitch & edge, zig zag all around to prevent excessive fraying. you want some fraying for the baby to play with the texture! next pin the flannel to the diaper (on the diaper side) ... down each row of stitching on the diaper & straight stitch ...sew in the ditch (on the stitiching) on each side of the extra padding! clip all your threads & you're done!
be sure to wash after sewing!
hope everyone has a wonderful evening.. I'll see you in class tomorrow!
