Cloth Diapers

No I didn't make these but I made the newborn ones below.

I just wanted to share this picture, for some weird reason it makes me smile, probably because they are clean.




Aren't they cute?

Kid's Hooded Bath robe

This is my darling little boy modeling his new bathrobe that his mommy (me) made. He loves it. I got the idea for this from here http://www.dana-made-it.com/2011/06/beach-robe-pattern-is-here.html . Her's are super super cute. She has the pattern for sale for $8.

I'm too cheap for that.

I made my own pattern. Maybe I'll post how did that later on if anyone is interested. I won't make a pattern to download though, you can spend the $money$ over at MADE if you would like a pattern.

This bathrobe that I made is out of two towels. I couldn't get one to go far enough so luckily I had another one the same color. They were towels I didn't like anymore. I was just testing to see how it turned out. I love it, they are super easy to make, the binding on the edges is what takes the longest. I used my serger for everything else. I LOVE my serger! I ran out of the yellow binding so I had to use black for the tie. Bummer.

I plan to make a couple more, but out of nicer towels next time :)



Cost to make = "0" dollars

Old towels, binding left over from other projects. Doesn't get any better than that.
Dana over at Made suggest it be a robe for the beach, but we don't live anywhere near the beach, so swimming could work, but we use his for bath time.
