Well, my last project was kind of sucessful. The pants do fit her although the waistband looks messy. I'm happy with it as my first serious attempt to sew. God has put it on my heart to do more and keep sewing until I reach my goal of sewing everything around this house that can be sewn. I'm getting there and He's also given me a desire to persevere through the troubles of sewing (like broken needles and bobbins running out in the middle of a project).

     With all that in mind, I'm embarking on my newest sewing project, cloth diapers! As you can see I'm about 5 going on six months pregnant and I have decided to cloth diaper this baby (saves SOOO much money). I've been scouring the internet for help and instructions on how to do this. I have found many, many sites that deal with all different aspects of sewing your own cloth diapers. I've got my patterns, I'm getting my notions and fabric (my God just blessed me through my fahter with $264 worth of materials), so all that's left is to get to sewing! I love it. I feel like I'm actually living out those verses in Proverbs that talk of sewing and making things for the family. God has surely changed my heart and attitude.

     So, I have done a few (I'm on my third) practice diapers but they really don't look anything like good diapers (I'm just using scrap fabric which doesn't act like the real fabric) so I'll spare everyone the horror of viewing them.  I will , however, post the pictures of my progress as I'm making the real diapers. I've figured out that I need to make 40+ for the newborn size and 60+ for the small (2-5mos. maybe). Imma be one sewing Mama!!! Until next time!
