|
19:01:35 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
no, easy. |
|
19:01:42 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
start with old towels until you learn. |
|
19:01:43 |
jojospok23 |
i would have to borrow a sewing machine, so i would have
to really commit |
|
19:01:46 |
jojospok23 |
right |
|
19:01:47 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
I just started...with no help. |
|
19:02:17 |
Kdybs |
What level of sewing ability would you say it takes? |
|
19:02:20 |
jojospok23 |
could you sew before? see thats my major hang up :P
havent used a sewing machine since i was 11 |
|
19:02:31 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
cut up some of your husband's t shirts :) |
|
19:02:41 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
I had a few early ones with chevy emblems on the butt
:) |
|
19:02:48 |
jojospok23 |
lol |
|
19:02:57 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
I didn't eithr Joanne (is that right for your name?) |
|
19:02:57 |
Kdybs |
oh how funny |
|
19:03:03 |
jojospok23 |
yes |
|
19:03:25 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
junior high home ec class sewing level :) |
|
19:03:27 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
really. |
|
19:03:39 |
Kdybs |
okay- I have that- I just need to get my machine working |
|
19:03:41 |
jojospok23 |
i quit sewing when i stitched right through the pad of
my finger :( |
|
19:03:53 |
Kdybs |
I'm going to try and knit a soaker soon too |
|
19:03:56 |
Kdybs |
ouch! |
|
19:04:17 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
yeah knitting soakers is HOT right now... |
|
19:04:17 |
jojospok23 |
i must admit i am more inclined towards knitting-the
needles aren't so sharp lol |
|
19:04:43 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
you'll use wool right? of course you know to knit it
extra large then felt it... |
|
19:04:50 |
Kdybs |
I have so many projects on needles right now- but I
figure one more isn't going to hurt me. |
|
19:05:02 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
I've put a needle through my fingernail, and right on
through... |
|
19:05:11 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
can't do that in most newer machines... |
|
19:05:41 |
Kdybs |
I wasn't going to felt the first one (the pattern that I
have doesn't call for it). Do I have to felt it? |
|
19:05:47 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
yeah, get good at it Kristin (is that right) and I woul
dlove to sell at my site. |
|
19:06:09 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
hmmm, good question, I think so, but now not so sure. |
|
19:06:37 |
jojospok23 |
how exactly are the leak resistant though, if they don't
have PUL or something in them? |
|
19:06:40 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
I think that you would to make it tight enough, but
maybe you should ask a knitting expert. |
|
19:06:49 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
I can ask on my wahm email list. |
|
19:07:00 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
lanoline |
|
19:07:05 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
lanolin |
|
19:07:11 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
that's all! |
|
19:07:17 |
Kdybs |
I think it is just tightly knit. Looking at the wool
type and gauge it seems really tight. Then just
lanolize it and go |
|
19:07:26 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
you have to lanolize the soakers regularly, never ever
wash them, |
|
19:07:27 |
jojospok23 |
wouldnt the pee go through the weave gaps? |
|
19:07:31 |
jojospok23 |
oh |
|
19:07:37 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
which, frankly is the reason why I don't own one :) |
|
19:07:42 |
jojospok23 |
eeeeww |
|
19:07:46 |
jojospok23 |
never wash? |
|
19:07:49 |
Kdybs |
what covers do you use on your diapers |
|
19:07:52 |
jojospok23 |
really. eeewwww |
|
19:07:56 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
I'm lazy. I put all covers, diapers and everythng in
both the washer and drier |
|
19:08:02 |
Kdybs |
you wash them by hand- in the sink |
|
19:08:30 |
Kdybs |
I have two wool covers now and I just throw them in the
sink once a week or so and put some lanolin in there
about every other time. |
|
19:08:31 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
Kristin, yeah that sounds plausible...I'm a crocheter,
but haven't done anything wool. |
|
19:09:18 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
I use Nappie Wraps....mine. |
|
19:09:26 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
it's my best seller, everyone loves them. |
|
19:09:32 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |

|
19:09:36 |
Kdybs |
I just saw the cutest pattern for a crochet soaker- I
can't crochet. http://www.tohook.com/blog/?page_id=44 |
|
19:09:38 |
jojospok23 |
i'm cheap, i use gerber wraps :( |
|
19:09:56 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
so great for fitting over all diapers but not tight
enough for non fastened diapers. |
|
19:10:13 |
jojospok23 |
they work, but i dont like them. am getting fbs,
kissaluvs contours and litewraps |
|
19:11:02 |
Kdybs |

the right place?? |
|
