KCWC Day 2, Crazy Crawler Pants

Day two for me. I had a look in my pile of fabric and decided I liked the look of this black and white knit fabric. Its lovely and thick and stretchy. I was to impatient to use a pattern today, probably should have  but they seemed to work ok in the end. I just cut around an old pair of little tights I made a few years ago when Ollie was little. Because we use cloth nappies, stretchy pants or pants with a lot of bum room are essential... I find pants bought in shops aren't don't fit too well over a big padded bottom!  Anyway here's what I came up with today. Not perfect - by any stretch!




I'm really enjoying KCWC so far. As long as the kids sleep for at least an hour (at the same time) everyday this week it can work.... I won't hold my breath!

Tomorrow I'm gong to try out this wee kite design on a t-shirt I found for $1 at a second hand shop today. See you then :)

  3. So Cute! I have a little one (3 mo) and we use cloth diapers too! I get frustrated with store bought clothes and have been thinking about making some! Have you found any patterns out there that are specifically for cloth diaper wearing kids?

  4. Hey Kelsey, thanks for checking out my blog :) I haven't found any patterns specifically designed... but I just look out for styles that would suit and make any adjustments that may be needed. Stretchy fabric always makes it a little easier too.
