My Snap Press

My snap press is ordered and ON ITS WAY!!! I am SO excited!!! I ordered it at www.thesnapstore.com

So, now my OBV, suedecloth, PUL, and super cute prints for the outside that I have been waiting to make OS diapers with we be getting cut up and ready!!! I AM SO EXCITED!!!!

I think I may have to turn some of my aplix dipes I bought into snap ones to get used to using the press though.

YEA!!!

Ophelia has Arrived...

I finished the bag, and here it is:

I had a very willing model (keep in mind, she is six, so the bag fits "bigger" people differently). I love this bag, as already stated, but this one is much cuter than my first!!!

I have also created a few more topless pants- only these have been added to my Etsy, but I will be taking more pictures today:

My First Diaper Cover!!

So, I cloth diaper my kids. And, well, they have grown out of some of our pockets. Since things are financially tight, I figured, try prefolds... why not? How much different could they be than pockets? Well, the thought of those plastic pants are the store just scares me... And, I know of a few people that make some of the MOST ADORABLE covers- I soo want to buy some of hers: http://www.olivejanes.etsy.com/. So, I wanted to make one for myself, I have all the material on hand to make pockets (just waiting to get a snap press).

So, here it is:

It definitely need some adjusting, since I just used the pattern for my pockets I make. A little too much fabric in the top back, and unnecessary flaps on front sides... Not too bad for my first shot at it though...

And, this is what I get when I say "let me see your dipey":

Latest & Greatest!

Last weekend, I went to an old friend of mine's wedding. It was simply beautiful!! She looked amazing (of course) and the food was GREAT!

Since I am 6 months pregnant, I did not want to fork out all the moola to buy a nice looking maternity dress. Soooo, I bought some awesome fabric (that was even on sale), used some selvaged buttons, and I already had thread to match due to the most awesome Christmas present ever (the Gutterman box with over 100 spools, ahh YES!!). And, I made a beautiful dress, that wasn't even "maternity" persay, but the way it was cut, it worked perfectly! All for a whopping $12.00 (and a few hours...)!!!

Here's a picture of me looking a little chunky preggo, but I LOVED my dress!!

Now, onto some future news:

I am going to start selling a purse that I originally designed in high school. Got grounded one weekend, and this was before Dad realized to take away the sewing machine before the TV... funny guy :). So, that weekend the "Ophelia" purse was designed and created (along with a few other needed things- like new curtains)!

It is still my most favorite bag, especially for day trips to DC of NYC. I can go over the shoulder, and be kept snug against you, and also worn on just one shoulder without falling off!! The reason I truly love it is because I can carry TONS in it without it looking bulky or feeling like it weighs a ton! Pictures to come soon!
