Wooooo! So I finally got round to making one!
I was too impatient so just used velcro instead of pestering someone for use of their snap press. And the sewing is crap but ah well.

Shoosh. Yes. Gifts. And it's not the DIY kit, though I can't say that'd be much different. I have been accumulating nappy fabrics for a while and finally had all the pieces and the motivation yesterday. Just used the Wee Weka pattern off the DIY page on TNN with the photo instructions as well. It was fine... a bit of a bitch at times to sew but that's because I'm a retard more than anything! The next one will be so much easier and quicker. Oh and timewise... I did that while Hannah slept but stuffed around on the internet for ages first. So it took maybe 1.5 hours? (with heaps of mistakes and swearing.) |

yay for a toilet trained child and i guess that means that by the time the next one comes around... you will be a pro and wont need to buy any at all...
i think it looks fab and anyone would be very pleased to get such a great gift from you... a job well done!
hehe next thing tho you will be wanting your own snap press!!!  ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

Thanks Deb.  (And there will be MANY years of practice so I'd better be a pro by the time I'm silly enough to have another kid )
I think I might have to find someone's press to borrow... otherwise I'm in real trouble! |

You're very clever, can't sew to save myself.
As for the gift thing, good luck with that. I got one of Stacey's nappies for a gift, but they're too cute and am going to keep it for when we have our own baby, which is still very much in the planning stages, and might not suit pink. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">   [/url] Angel June 2012 |

How could anyone not NEED anymore nappies? I think I've heard that quote from someone... umm... *scratches head* she has twins and another on the way... hmm now who could that woman be
Nikki I would LOVE one of your nappies (I would have to insist that it is in exchange for that folding stuff with the numbers on! ) Email me and let me know what colours and stuff you have please ------------- http://lilypie.com">
