For the past few months, Kat has been in tune to all things Potty. This is a good thing...it's making potty training much easier! She associates diapers and dirty pants with babies. And she doesn't see herself as a baby anymore (insert Mommy whimper), so she's passing it along to her Baby Dolls.
So when I saw THESE at 2 Little Hooligans, I flipped out! Sooooooo Cute! And a little wipes case to go with the diapers? Yes, please!
Here's how mine turned out:
2 Little Hooligans has a GREAT tutorial and I love the colorful fabrics to make Dolly Diaper Change Time more fun! However, when I tried to free hand a diaper shape...my non-artist skills reared their ugly head! I couldn't get a diaper that didn't look all wonky!
Enter Skip To My Lou! She's got a printable diaper template and I used the heck out of it!!!
I was ready to GO!
I picked out four different fabrics from a JoAnn's 99 cent fat quarter sale. I was going to buy some fleece (it's SO expensive...where do you get your fleece?). But then I remembered an old baby blanket in my up-cycle pile that was backed with white fleece. AWESOME! Then I picked up some velcro for the fasteners.
I printed out the template and cut out all my fabric and fleece. Then I followed all 2 Little Hooligans directions to sew everything together!
Whoops! A little bunched up...
Plenty of Whoopsies! as I went along...but...
All together, they look GREAT! And they are making a Mini-Momma-In-Training very happy!
Now, about those wipes...
I just used cheapy felt sheets that I had left over from other projects.
Open the top to pull out the "wipes"!
Here's the case and the pile of wipes. Again, I followed 2 Little Hooligans directions and I'm so excited with the way everything turned out!!!
great job and i love that orange one! thanks for linking and sharing with me. i always love to see something made from using one of my tutorials. and great to know about the template from skip to my lou, i'll have to pass the word:)
