Firstly, instead of just cutting right around her pattern template as it is, I added extra bits for casing the elastic rather than zig-zagging it down like she does. Plus for the front snap-backings. The strips are for the wing snap-backings. Then I folded those bits in to make casings like in my Flip-style tutorial.
Here is is completed with the elastic added and the snaps applied. :)

This looks great! What type of fleece do you use? Also, do you think this would work for wool too? And finally, are you planning on posting a pattern or should I try to recreate what you did using Jahnavi's pattern? Thank you so much! I love your patterns and tutorials!
ReplyDeleteI'm considering doing some more modified adaptations on her pattern for a template. I haven't worked it up yet though. In the mean-time, it shouldn't be too hard to copy what I did using her pattern as a guide either. :) I used some Blizzard fleece I got in the remnant bin at Joann Fabrics for these. It should work just fine for wool. However, if you use thin or loose-knit wool, you'll probably want a second layer in the wet zone. :)
DeleteThank you!
DeleteCan't wait to see your pattern! Her site is down. Not sure if its permanent or temporary. I love the way you did the pattern!
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to add that I found an archive of the pattern ;)

Thank you thank you thank you thank you Ashley!!!!
DeleteBeen wanting to try her fleece cover pattern but didn't like the exposed elastic. Would love to have this in a patter
ReplyDeleteI am going to try this but as a double layer using polar and microfleece with serged edges. I am lazy and it seems like the easiest way. :P
ReplyDeleteLate to the party but the link doesn't work :( have you ever made a pattern?
ReplyDeleteI haven't made a side-snapping fleece cover pattern, but you could probably figure this one out in the XS size using the top photo and knowing the grid is 1"x1". Also, there are Katrina side-snapping soaker patterns at http://katrinassqs.blogspot.com/2011/04/side-snapping-soaker.html with no elastic, Not quite the same thing, but still a good option.
