Interest in a new pattern?

A cutting template for this is now available HERE.

Would there be any interest in me making a pattern for "turtle shell" diaper, sort of akin to g-diapers? I think I could figure out both an OS and sized versions for something similar to those. I'd probably design the sized ones to be a fleece body shaped similarly to the hip-snapping fleece soaker covers that I have in my blog already. The they'd have a snap-in PUL (it could even be just a good poly fleece if PUL isn't available to you) with either FOE or cased elastic (I could do tutorials for both methods) pouch of sorts that would hold the absorbency. Which could be a more typical diaper insert, or even anything absorbent folded up to fit like a tea towel or washcloths or an old shirt. Whatever. It seems like it could be very easy to make. However, I never liked that style of diapers back when my own kids were little. So, it was never anything I wanted to try back then.

However, I know some people DO like that style. So, if there is an interest, I'm more than happy to draft up the patterns and do a tutorial.

Let me know!

January will be cloth diaper video tutorials month!

I will be dedicating January to Cloth diaper related sewing videos on my YouTube channel.

What are the top 5 diaper styles you'd like to see me sew?

How about live-streaming Wednesdays?

My kids have short "school" days every Wednesday. Would anyone be interested in live-streams on Wednesday early afternoons (2pm Pacific time?) They'll just be saved as videos when completed, but if you come during the streams, I will sew things live by request (within reason,) and help with any of your trouble-shooting. For now, I've just been sewing... but, I'll transition to other things soon too like cooking, crafts, other arts. We can even do things like custom logo designs or illustrations together eventually.

Would there be any interest in something like that?

Starting a YouTube channel!

ArfyMakes YouTube channel

I know. I know...

I'm REALLY late to the whole making videos instead of just blog posts and pictorials/tutorials thing.

However, my kids are older now and I have more time to do things in longer stretches and with fewer distractions!

What would you guys like to see for my first few videos? I can totally sew up a few of my diaper patterns, BUT I can also sew a lot of other things too. I have a few of my own knit fabric dress designs for kids and teens. I make self-designed PJs for my kids a lot. Hoodies. American Girl/18-inch doll clothes. There are lots of options for original things to sew. I can also do other arts and crafts. Drawing, painting, knitting (that'd be SLOW though,) cooking...

What would YOU like to see? Give me some inspiration.

I have set up another blog specifically for the YouTube channel as well.

Love,
