Diaper & Wipes Pouch

January 23rd, 2006

This is a quick little project that Suzie and I had been talking about trying and I found a pattern earlier today! It was very easy to make, though my first one is not perfect. I used black and white flowery fabric for the outside and white for the lining. I also added a pocket to the back, that goes almost the length of the pouch and insted of using velcro for the flap, I used a magnetic snap. I think I need a little work on my snap placement and I need to use different thread, but overall it is cute. I would like to try to alter the pattern so that the flap is on the long side and I want to add a little clutch strap to one side with the pocket in the back still. Maybe I can find some plastic snaps and I could use 2 of them on the long flap. Then it could be the “diaper clutch”!! What does everyone think? Let me know :)

Recycled Wool Sweater Bag

wool bag

This is a bag made from a wool sweater that I put through the wash (when I was half asleep) and in so doing shrunk it! I really thought the sweater was pretty though and wanted to use it for something. This bag is a gift for my sister’s birthday. It has an extra long strap so it can be worn across the body like a sling type bag. It just has an open top and hopefully she will find it is useful!

A smaller version of the earlier duckie blanket…This one would be perfect for a crib blanket or for using in the stroller or carseat! I really like this fleece and I am going to see how it does for a pair of pants (I hope) soon. This is for sale on ebay if anyone is interested :)

This is a cute baby set that I made to sell, modeled by Taylor. It only took me 2 days to make the hat & booties! The yarn is a variegated purple, blue, green mixture (thus the title of the post) and is nice and calming. I think they are really cute and I am making Taylor a pair of the booties in my favorite rose color :) They will be done by this weekend I hope! This set will be for sale on ebay soon, unless I find someone who wants to buy it around here first!!
Update: Jan.21, 2006 They are for sale now on eBay!
