Pants for Oliwesmom

Well the pants I made for the cafemom swap were received! And too big.... but at least they weren't too small, I used this tutorial to draft my pattern for his longies, it was so easy to make a pattern and it only took me about three hours total to make the pattern and the pants! Here is the little cutie rocking them and chilling on his mama's couch

I thought that the monsters looked like they were giving hugs, hence why I chose this pattern for the valentines swap. It was hard to decide what valentine fabric to get for a boy. I got some extra so I can make a few diapers from this fabric as well.

In other news, moving has been going well, I will post pics soon of my new spot, we have finally settled in and I am so happy to be back in Sebastopol, it takes about 20 minutes to walk downtown and Annabella LOVES her stroller, sometimes I feel strange strolling her around with all the babywearers in this town, but I like having her in the stroller, she weighs a lot more then these other babies!

I'll post more soon. 

Thanks to Oliewesmom for letting me post this pic of her adorable little boy

Skirties, and a hat from a Hot Vegan Mama

I LOVE  cafe mom they have everything you could possibly need as a mother. Basicly its a site for moms of all shapes sizes and kinds to come together and discuss all things mom.

I am a member of a few groups one of them is the Diaper Sewing Divas. I have seen many swaps go on, but have questioned how good I would be at making a pair of pants or a diaper for somebody that I don't know (I'm still not sure how well I did). This swap was for Valentine's day Longies!

Hot Vegan Mama outdid herself for sure! Not only did Annabella get a pair of fleece longies they had a skirt attached (I'm told these are called skirties) they had a built in soaker which has helped since Annabella has worn them. And she even made an adorable hat to go with it! I love hats with ears!

Annabella really likes this fabric and tries to eat it often!
Needless to say I will be participating in lots more swaps
