Spring 2012 KCWC

Join Elsie Marley for her fantastic semi-annual Kids' Clothing Week Challenge. Commit to sewing for a little one in your life for 1 hour a day for 1 week. You can do it! Here's my efforts today. My youngest loves to be the baby. Anything she could delay, she has. That includes keeping her bed pee free overnight. (I do know that there is a genetic component at play here too.) I've been buying disposable pull ups, but I hate the money spent & I hate throwing away those yucky things every day. Last week I stopped at a local baby boutique and bought a washable pull up. I studied it's construction & knew I could make more. Today's design is not at all like the one I purchased, but I found this wide elastic in my elastic bin & thought I could put it to use. The cover is an upcycled wool sweater from the thrift store (50% off!). I used the Mile High Monkey pattern. Excellent pattern - preemie to XXL (my skinny 6 year old is only in the L size) & it fits so well.
