Nappy Time

Hello everyone,
Well, the week back at school has gone ok. Only three days this week as we had ANZAC day in the middle. It was a very nice day and Wouter and I had a nice quality time day together since he's been really busy with work lately. I especially enjoyed going out for a couple of hours with him in the morning and moving the stock around (ok, I sat on the back of the bike and opened and closed gates, but it is still helping).

Today has been the usual Friday, with housework first, and then time later to do other stuff. Today my other stuff has been trying to make a cloth nappy. I got the pattern off the internet, and considering these cost about $25-30 to buy new, pricing it out, not including my time is about $8 per nappy, which is considerably cheaper. So, on Thursday I went to our fabric shop and got some reasonably uni-sex flannelet. Can't have a boy swanning around in pink nappies now can we??

The end result has turned out pretty good for a first attempt. There are few things I need to do different next time, mainly the leg elastic. But, I tried it on our neighbors newborn, and it looks like it'll fit reasonably well. So, go cloth nappies!!
