The other day, when it was pretty darned hot outside, and the aircon inside the office, and what I very tongue in cheek call my studio, was nice and icy (set a fair way below the recommended 25 degrees!) the kids and I pottered about.
One of the things I did was make this little nappy wallet for a newly born little Isabelle.
She'll be quite the little cowgirl and mum and dad have already got a pony lined up for the when the time comes. (heaven help them if she doesn't like horses!) Wipes in one side, a tube of bum cream and a few nappies, the new mum has reported that it works well and meant the big old nappy bag could be left in the car.
Secured shut with an elastic band (hairtie in a former life) and a button I think I took off one of the girls stained play shirts (it didn't need such a pretty button) it folds up neatly. I love the outside paisley sort of print..I think I'd wear a collared button up shirt in this if someone made one!
This used three fat quarters with a fair sized scrap of each left over. And took probably under an hour to make (less if you don't faff about or make any mistakes!)
and I made this with part of the leftovers:
Oh how I wish for an air-conditioned studio ... perhaps even a fan-cooled living room would suffice. Hasn't the weather been outrageous! Just love what you've made, nothing of the sort seemed to be available when I was toting giant nappy bags everywhere I went. Perhaps if Pinterest had existed way back then, things may have been different.
ReplyDeleteSharon, you will be pleased to know I have the sewing machine out of 'storage' and some fabric ordered...now I just hope Eliza doesn't grow out of nappies before I complete this project!!
ReplyDeletelove the fabric...great to have an excuse to be inside and be crafty.
