Ahh! I still have so much work to do and I’m down to three weeks until my due date. I was hoping to finish work a couple weeks early so that I could try to relax and prepare a bit more for having a new roommate, but I’m not sure that is going to happen. I’m really feeling down to the wire now.
Over the last few months, I have snuck in a bit of baby-sewing. I bought a bunch of patterns from Brindille & Twig on Etsy. They were super easy to sew and a great way to use up some of the smaller pieces of jersey I had kicking around my studio. The thing I’m loving about sewing kids clothes is that it takes absolutely no time to make an outfit… they are so small!
Making diapers this way was definitley way cheaper than buying fancy all-in-one diapers. I did buy several premade covers because I found that they were too time consuming to make. The best part of diaper making was when Dan sewed half of them for me. Everyone loves a cute guy with a beard sewing stuff for his baby, so here’s a picture:

September 26, 2014 at 6:53 pmyou are so much more active than i was at the end of my pregnancy. I definitely cleaned alot but other than that I watched two season of nashville and *tried* to get in sleep. Everything you made is super cute. You should also think about making your own babywearing wraps they aren't that hard and since you have a stash of fabric I bet yours would be pretty unique.

September 26, 2014 at 7:43 pmYou'll be so glad you spent the time on the cloth diapers. We bought all in ones for our daughter, but if I have another go at it I'll do exactly what you did (buy covers and make prefolds).

September 27, 2014 at 9:13 amI am grateful that you prefer cloth diapers, I wish more families like yours gets smart as you are, as disposable diapers make up 15% of trash. http://whatawaste.info/2010/7-6-billion-pounds-of-diaper-trash/
Many thanks JJ

February 24, 2016 at 5:55 amEveryday diaper bags are just that, best baby changing bags that are not made by designers or have special meaning to you. They are just your average everyday diaper bag. Coming in a variety of colors, some of them even match your stroller or your child's outfits. They are made of sturdy materials such as washable vinyl or washable cotton.
