My second apology

I could sit here and make up excuses all day but the fact of the matter is I've been completely ignoring my blog!  It's been a mix of internet issues, not crafting, and making friends.  Now my issues are solved, I'm going to make an effort to craft more, and my friend is going to help me with it.  EW is my new best friend over here and she has introduced me to the world of cloth diapering!  It's sooooooo much to learn but I am learning and I am liking it.  I always thought of putting Munchkin in cloth diapers (G-diapers to be exact) but when I tried to jump into it I realized it was waaay over my head so I decided not to.  But now that EW has been able to sit down and show me I'm really starting to understand!  So one night we were talking and I told her that I really wanted to try and make a cloth diaper and she totally spurred me on telling me it was a great idea.  So I gave it some thought and went through a list of materials in my head: cotton print, check; flannel, check; elastic, check; left over all natural cotton quilt batting....check!  The only thing I was missing was some velcro but that was all to easy to fix. We went to the thrift shop on post and I found an item with some good ol' fashioned white velcro!  So the next day I did some cutting and sewing and some seam ripping and some more sewing and viola!

I made a diaper.  It totally needs some improvements, like different elastic and pattern tweaking, but still, pretty effin good for a first try from stuff that was lying around!  Not to mention it looks uber cute on Munchkin's little tushie!  I fully plan on making more and refining my technique.

I also finally got my Michael Miller fabric and I do have to say it's super fabulous!  I got it all washed and today so now I'm off to start clipping my tangled mess of fabric!  Wish me luck!
