Fun things!

This weekend was so much fun! We finally had some good family QT...

Lacey helping Daddy fix the leaky sink...

Loving the balls at Toddle Town! Happy 2nd Birthday, Jake!

I made her this outfit (FINALLY did some sewing!!!)

Lacey's birthday present also came in the mail. Brian put it together while Lacey and I went to watch a gymnastics meet... she was thrilled! The weather was beautiful this weekend so we not only rode around our house, but we were able to go outside as well. It's a good thing Lacey doesn't know about birthdays yet because this was a BIG present and she won't be getting anything else (from us at least :) )

It's amazing how toddler-ish she is getting... She really is getting to where she can tell us what she wants and we can understand her. We do some signing with her, but she has been making up her own. For example, if she doesn't want something she pushes your hands away or shakes her head. When she is tired she nuzzles or puts her bear blanky on her head (sooooo cute!) Speaking of her bear blanky - it is truly becoming her best little friend. We have a white and a pink one that is getting DRAGGED EVERYWHERE! It is really grossing me out. I think I might order a third to make sure they are getting washed enough!

Diaper Pattern Review - Very Baby Snug Wrap Cover

This post is a first in a series of diaper sewing patterns that I am going to review. Stay tuned!

Pattern: Very Baby Snug Wrap Cover

Price: $8.95

Photo: (top left) Pink 2mm PUL cover with aplix and fold-over elastic, Purple 2mm PUL cover with aplix and fold-over elastic, Patterned fleece cover with white PUL inner, snaps and fold-over elastic.

The best feature about this pattern is it's variety of sizes. The newborn sizes ranges from 6-12 lbs. with the XL going up to approximately 50 lbs. The newborn cover size fit great with my Very Baby Cloth Diapers.

Another great feature of the pattern is that it comes with multiple options such as using snaps or aplix. This is great if you don't have a snap press, or have one but want to make different types of covers. From this pattern you can make regular covers, side snapping, etc. I like the variety!

The biggest pitfall of this pattern is that it does not have leg gussets. I have pretty much found a any cover without gussets to be useless. However, you can easily get creative using this tutorial and add them to the pattern yourself!
