Eco-friendly choice: Fabric gift wrapping

Sebenarnya karena waktu itu saya tidak menemukan kertas kado di rumah, jadi akhirnya ngebut menjahit pembungkus kado dari bahan kain. Not bad... Bahannya katun dan closure-nya dari hook/loop. Semoga teman anak saya suka...


Tutorial: see here.

Trimsies with snaps

Akhirnya bikin Trimsies yg pakai snap...


Bahan:

  • Inner: katun terry
  • Outer: PUL
  • Side panel: Fleece
  • Soaker: Microfiber


Note khusus utk project yg ini adalah: jangan lagi pakai fleece biasa utk side panel krn jadinya tebal dan sulit utk dipasangkan snap. Apalagi bagian inner-nya katun terry. Lebih baik microfleece krn lebih tipis.

Rencana bikin satu lagi yg benar2 ngikutin tutorial in term of bahannya (microfleece, PUL, microfiber). Semua udah dipotong dan siap dijahit. Tapi... kapan...

October Sewing

I've been away for a while. Busy as usual for mommy and wifey things. So now, to make it fast, I'd like to put all at the same time. 


October 4, 2011: My First Cloth Pad


I used my Zigie Zag cloth pad as a sample in term of the pattern. And these are the layers I made:

  • Outer: Soft flanel
  • Inner: Fleece
  • Soaker: Bamboo terry (3 layers)
  • No waterproof layer



I made this cloth pad as my first contact with my new snap plier. Yes, finally I bought it, and the right one (I bought another plier a month before and then I found out it was not the one I wanted).




October 8, 2011: My Rolling-in-outer Trimsies


This is my 5th Trimsies Trainer. It's getting better and better. 

  • Outer: not sure whether it's a pure cotton or mixed with poly. I bought it as fabric scraps set. Anyway, the texture is soft and it is stretch fabric.
  • Side panel: cotton, fabric scrap too from my mom in Jakarta (she likes to make bed sheets and sometimes she sends me her fabric scraps).
  • Inner: cotton for muslin nappy. It was made by my mom for my lil one, a muslin nappy with size of 100x100cm. I hope she will forgive me for cutting that nappy.
  • Soaker: cotton terry but I do not remember how many layer it has.









October 14, 2011: Newborn Fitted Diaper with Darling Diaper Free Pattern


Since I TNT-ed, I was a lil bit confused with the seam allowance. Well, it's not bad for first trial. 

  • Outer and inner: cotton terry
  • Closure: hook and loop
  • No umbilical cord snap down, I forgot









October 17, 2011: Newborn Fitted Diaper with DD Free Pattern again


But this time, with an umbilical cord snap down and with snap closure.

  • Outer: cotton in batik
  • Inner: cotton terry
  • Closure: as I mentioned above, snaps
