Last minute customs

These were so much fun to do.
I got a last minute order a few days ago for two outfits of my choice in any in stock fabric that I had.
These were made, gift wrapped, and shipped with a guaranteed Christmas delivery.

Pink & Green Roses came with a reversible matching bib, turtleneck & tights.

Blue Flowers & Bugs is just as seen, 2 piece set, top and pants.

Hubby is due to leave in Jan-uugghh-again.

I'm changing my work days at work to accomidate being a single parent.

For the first time ever I'm hiring a sitter for my two little ones 2 days a week.

I really want to be able to do it all,

I want to stay home

I want to work outside for the income and time alone

I want to still sew for my shops

I want to attend all the sports games and band performances.

Is this possible?

YES

Dangit it has to be.

something for me

Just something small,

but I like it.

The elastic is to wide,

maybe a rubberband would be better

leg elastic tutorial on serged cd's

My fist tut!!!

I love my diaps-

I take very good care of them-

but elastic is elastic and it gets shot.

Problem is these diaps were serged,

not to many out there fix these I found out.

Here's my solution-without a serger.

*Take your dead diaper (or 6 in my case)

*Pick out the stitching on the outside

*(after stitching is all out) Pull the layers apart

*pick a small hole/rip on inner

*(wiggle around with ripper) Hook & Pull elastic out

*Repeat on other side

*Hand sew the tiny holes shut

(maybe 2/3 loops is all)

*Measure the length of where the elastic was

(I used the stitching holes as my markers)

*I cut my elastic half of this measurement,

It says 11in - I cut 5.5in of elastic

*Stitch down ends

(I used the old marks as my guide,

I stitched it between the holes & serged edge)

*Repeat other side

*Fold over slightly one corner

(just above where the elastic is)

Start stitching closed-as it walks pull elastic and diap straight and flat,

the casing gets fatter towards the middle of diap

keep going towards other end

the casing with get smaller again

and you're done

Fun with Scraps!

So I've been sitting here

trying to figure out what to do with my scraps that have been building up over the summer.
