Yes. I’m back. And I solemnly swear to be a better blogger from now on.
Ok, so what have I been up to?
I’ve been up to A LOT (but you’ll have to stay posted for updates on that, oh what a tease I am) but my most recent project was to sew a gift for a good friend who is due to have a baby boy. In fact, as of today she is a week overdue so we are anxiously awaiting happy news and lots of baby cuddles.
I decided to make a couple of items that I had made for myself and absolutely loved. I made some burp cloths (see my posts here and here)
and also a Nappy Pouch – or a Diaper Pouch as they are more commonly known.
I made this one about a year ago for myself as I was sick of digging around in Cooper’s nappy bag to find the nappies, wipes and nappy sacks while making sure he didn’t roll/crawl away on me! I still use it and absolutely LOVE it. I’ve used it sometimes just by itself if I don’t want to lug the whole nappy bag with me.
So, for both of them, I used Noodlehead’s Diaper Pouch Tutorial and it is fantastic. It’s really easy to follow, and has lots of pictures to follow (always a plus!) and both of the pouches that I have made have worked out with no hassles at all.
The fabric I used for my pouch was Cosmonauts and Gamma Ray Navy from the Cosmic Convoy collection, purchased from The Natural Loom who are based in Wollongong, NSW.
The fabric I used for the second pouch and the burp cloths was Pine Trees in Iron and Pine Trees in Mineral from the Camelot Bonne Nuit collection, purchased from FSWithLoveFabrics who are based in Adelaide, SA.
I’ve given them to the lucky future mama already (I hate waiting to give gifts!) and she loves them. So now just to wait for the little man to decide he’s ready to meet us all …
