I have been trying to teach myself to sew. It has been a long and frustrating battle!
I am threading challenged in the most severe way. Reading the manual was no help to me. Wave finally had to thread the darn thing for me!
After many fits & unladylike words, I can finally thread the machine by myself. Des is modeling the things I made today.
The diaper cover is made of micro fleece given to me by a lady Freecycler. It, unfortunately, has already failed its purpose. It didn't hold in the wetness like the other homemade micro fleece cover I have. Sewing friends, should I add another layer? Is the material only water resistant on one side? Help!
The baby legs are made from a pair of socks I picked up for 98 cents at Target. I just cut the extra fabric from the heel, sewed it back up, cut out the toes and hemmed the now open end. I am super proud of myself for thinking to use a zig zag heel to make the opening stretchy! So far (15 minutes!) the leg warmers are successful. Only time will tell!
