I measured the amount of FOE I use on the OS cover today and it is 50" the way I sew it.   :)

Serged or T&T...

Free use for everyone! Make your own, or sell diapers made from it. :)

Or a new "tester" NB-S fitted pattern because my old one is soooo outdated and rough.

Hand-towels to Prefolds

Well, still no sewing room, but I can explain how to do this without sewing so...

Take your old stained, worn, ugly kitchen or hand towels. Strip first with lots of rinses to get off any build-up.

For a smaller prefold or a larger hand towel just fold over until the middle is 3 layers and each side is 1. For a larger prefold, use two hand towels and trifold one, then lay it over the other (both methods pictured above).

Then just sew a rectangle around the folded edges right near the edge. Use a wide stitch and a 12+ gauge needle. If you want it more flush, you can use a zig zag and sew back and forth over the edges along the sides sort of like an applique stitch.

Ta-da! That was easy! :D

No sewing room for a while means... KNITTING!

Well, many people use wool covers over cloth diapers. They lanolize them to make them hold in the wetness.

So, since my sewing room is out of commission for a while, I decided to do a little knitting.

I have a free basic longies pattern available on ravelry.com:

and this "Sock Monkey Longies" pattern is a pay pattern there.

I have several other knits there as well. :)
