Twins In Cloth Custom - How Lucky Am I!
Wednesday, 21 November 2007

Back when the Great Down Under Nappy Hunt was on i entered a comp on the Twins in Cloth website, you just had to fill in a survey about cloth nappies & you went in the draw to win a custom Twins in Cloth nappy. Well...i didnt win any nappies in the GDUNH - but i did win the custom!

Being as indecisive as i am in couldn't decide what i wanted, so i gave Julie a couple of ideas about what i like & this is what she came up with (from left to right - front, back, inner):



I love it! its absolutely fantastic! Its got 3 layers of bamboo fleece sewn in the nappy & a lay in booster with another 2 layers of bamboo fleece & 1 layer of suede cloth. Its my first front snapper (well, i do have one NB fitted front snapping nappy, but thats beside the point!) & its so trim! Heres some action shots:How cute is it?!? I love it soooooooo much - THANKS JULIE!!!

If you want a fantastic nappy like this one then make sure you check out the Twins in Cloth website (current stock is here while website renovations are taking place) they have other stuff to, so go on - have a look!

Jet, Joe & Picky Pants
Monday, 12 November 2007

As promised (for once) here are some shots of Jet & Joe hangin out, Jets also wearing his matching picky pants (cause everyone needs pants with a matching caterpillar!). Look how clever my little boy is, he can stand up without anything around him, think he's been doing it a week or so now, im pretty sure he started while we were on holidays. I guess that means life is about to get more tiring cause people are telling me he is probably going to start walking in a couple of weeks.I highly recommend Joe as a toy for kids, Jet absolutely loves him. Cause he is long & bulby he can fling him round everywhere & try & bit his tail, head or antennae off (what ever he is in the mood for).
Think im going to have to make another Joe for my cousuns new little bub! He is so quick & easy to make & such a great toy!!!

Picky Pants in Action
Sunday, 28 October 2007

Here's a couple of shocking action shots of the picky pants i knitted jet. The were taken on my phone camera cause we are going on hols in a couple of days & rocky has already packed the camera & i cant find it! Sorry, they are a little blurry where it counts.

This is jets funny crawling technique by the way:
I just thought this one was cute & you can see the picot edging in it too (kinda):That's it! Sorry the pics are so shocking!!!

First Ever Longies Finally Complete
Wednesday, 10 October 2007

I finally got around to finishing the longies pattern i started ages ago. I actually finished the knitting side of it when we were on our trip to byron a couple of months ago but i lost my yarn needle (lame excuse i know) & couldn't sew up all the little bits & pieces. So i finally got around to buying another yarn needle & here they are! I was going to do a little picture thingy on the legs (embellishment or something are they called?) but that would have probably taken me another couple of months & as it is i think they are only going to fit jet for about 5 minutes anyway.

Originally i was going to attempt the picky pants pattern from little turtle knits but somehow i got the longies one. I now have the picky pants one too though so i might give that one a go next. I think one of the legs is slightly shorter than the other but apart from that they look pretty good for a first attempt.

i just looked over at jet while I'm typing this & saw him pull the needle out of the latest project - oh joy! how do they get to be so quick!!! Anyway, here's some action shots: They still need to be lanolised but apart from that they are good to go. If anyone has any suggestions for little projects that are still interesting but don't take to long to do id love to hear them. I need a couple of quick projects to motivate me!

...cause you can never have enough
Monday, 17 September 2007

Bubblebubs that is!!! I finally got around to taking some action shots, these are probably the worst action shots ive taken but in my defence the floor was covered in toys (& just general mess) so i was trying to take them on the couch, camera in one hand while the other hand was attempting to stop jet stacking it onto the tiles (successfully im sure you'll be glad to hear).





& heres close ups of all 3 minky bubblebubs:

Baby Beehind Magic-All's are here!!!
Wednesday, 8 August 2007

My Baby Beehind Magic-Alls arrived - YAY!!! They are nice & compact, great for the nappy bag!

Here they are:


1 got 2 x Medium (blue & purple) & 2 x Large (orange & green). The larges wont fit Jet just yet, they are meant to fit from 11kg & he is about a hundred grams shy of 10kg.

& a pic of my babies beehind (lol - can you tell im one of those people that laughs at their own unfunny jokes!)
Good fit!
& just cause this one was cute i had to put it in...well technically it could be an action shot, you can still see a snippet of the nappy ; )

oh & if your wondering why his hair is all funny its cause i took the pics last night just after his bath.

Bubblebubs - YAY!
Monday, 30 July 2007

I couldn't resist the sale that was on at bubblebubs recently - just had to grab a couple more since these would have to be one of my favourite nappies. Heres some pics:




I got 2 x Larges & 1 x Medium (the green one). Just cause Jet can fit into the larges now, even though they are a little big & i want to have some nappies that still fit him when hes bigger. Think I got a bit carried away since i ended up with the same crocodiles on two of them, but still! I LOVE the orange space one - cute!


Heres some action shots & no Jet isn't crawling yet, but if i put him on his hands & knees he stays there long enough for me to snap a few shots off ;)

Blueberrylicious
Tuesday, 24 July 2007

I got my Blueberry nappies today - YAY!!! (but why is rocky always home when i get fluffy mail - busted!). They were buy 2 get 1 free & postage was only $2 because their postage calculator was broken - bargain!

They are so lush. i got 3 OSFA (one size fits all) pockets, two minky & one PUL with snaps.

Heres some pics:











These are the inserts. The first pic is of it un-snapped & the second pic is snapped & ready to stuff. Great system, just one long insert that you fold into 3 & snap to the chosen size (depending on if your stuffing it into a S, M or L nappy.











Heres a pic of the range of sizes the nappy has. You just snap down the front. I have two other pockets that do this too - the BumGenious & the Haute, but these ones do it the neatest i think.

Action Shots:
Pics that show the fit:

My Little Monkey
Thursday, 19 July 2007

Heres some action shots of Jet sporting his new Monkey Doodlez & amber teething necklace:

They are both size Medium Long Rise. I'm told they are quite large sizes but they seem to fit ok, the medium would have been a bit trimmer but i wanted them to fit for quite a while - Jet is already 9.8kg & this size is meant to fit 9 - 15.9 kilos. Heres some shots of the fit:

Of course, he pooped in it straight away, but the second one i stuck on him was there for about 4 hours & there were no leaks or anything, they seem really good! Very trim, a great nappy to have in the nappy bag. Who knows what fabulous combinations i will find when DH changes his nappy with them though, he cant believe that thats all there is, so I'm sure ill find lay in boosters or fitteds underneath or something.

**WARNING** Sunglasses may be required!
Thursday, 31 May 2007

Well...today i made jet another nappy (because he can never have enough!). Why is it bright orange? well, for a couple of reasons. 1. because i have 2m of velour & microfleece 2. because the in-laws are dutch & thats their national colour & 3. well...why not!

This time round i used the Ottobre pattern. This pattern has 2 sizes, i used the largest one because jet is getting a bit big for the s/m wee weka pattern so i figured the smaller size might not fit for long on this pattern....but the nappy is massive!!! So i guess it will fit him eventually & for now i can stuff it with heaps & use it as a night nappy - jet is a massivly heavy wetter!!!

Ok, heres the nappy (its a little bright!):

The inner is made from orange (in case you couldnt tell) velour:

& the outer is made with microfibre:

There is a hidden layer of white PUL & I used blue snaps, I do have orange ones that match but I thought id throw in a bit of contrast (so DH has a chance of putting it on the right way). I used blue because its DH's favorite colour & he is sick of me using purple for everything & also because the orange & blue chakras are opposite - so the colours are opposite polarities (or something).

Here are some action shots:



I sewed the elastic onto the outer layer (through all the layers though) but the inner material is still rolling out? not sure what happend there - its the first time ive done that, figured it didnt really matter since both sides were soft.

I also overlocked some microfibre inserts. They are 3 layers each very doddgily sewn together, but they do the trick! They have already been through the wash thats why there all fluffy:

well, thats enough sewing for one day, now im off to clean up all the mess i made.

Pics of my Tiger!
Sunday, 6 May 2007

Ok, as promised here are the action shots of my latest creation:

One last pic of my little tiger mauling his prey (aka toy frog):


It is pretty chunky on him, i probably could have used less layers in the booster. i might just make a non fold out one with just 2 or 3 layers of bamboo fleece & a layer of fleece & just use this booster for nights.

Hes only worn it once so far & had it on for about 7 hours (i dont normally leave them that long but he was sleeping and i wanted to test it). There were no leaks & it still felt pretty dry to touch from the inside (agains his skin). The bamboo didnt even feel that wet, so maybe its just super absorbant or maybe he just didnt do any of his normal massive wees in it! hopefully it will be fine tommorow so itll dry quick & i can give it another run!!!

The pic to the right is the pattern i used. Its the wee weka s/m pocket pattern but i modified it a bit. The modified bits are in yellow. I think i really need ot leave the width of the long section alone (whats that called???), even though its only the tiniest bit wider the origional pattern just fits so much better...i know, i know, so why do i keep changing it!!!

Next time i will leave the whole top section of the pattern as is and just make the base slightly bigger than the origional pattern so it fits him a smigin longer. Thanks for checkin out my blog!!!

Its a wrap!
Friday, 4 May 2007

Heres a pic of Jet in a home made Hug-a-bub style sling. I just used a 100% cotton, it isnt streatchy though & it creases heaps. i might have to give it a go with another fabric, but i do love the colour & he actually likes being in it which is a bonus!!!
