I can sew undies, who knew?!!

I have no idea why I'm beyond thrilled that I can make underwear. They are just such a simple garment that I wouldn't even normally think to make. I saw a post on Sewing Mama's the other day that totally inspired me though, and that very same day, Ashlee came to me, complaining her underwear were too tight. I had the that*darn*kat children's underwear pattern, but had never used it, so Monday night I decided to give it a whirl. They are sooo easy and so fast; I'm so glad I tried it! Plus, the best thing of all, it just uses scraps! I have tons of knit scraps that I've been hanging onto, but not sure what for--this is the perfect use! I've made her four pairs so far, and I see more in the future.


And in the spirit of bum coverings, I also made the baby a few more diapers. A couple Quick Snap Flat Wraps in the newborn size, and three Little Comet Tails Little Starters AIO's, in size small. That means I'm officially half way done w/ my small stash! I cut out 32 inners and outers months ago, but am slow going on the whole assembly part. Hopefully I'll get them time by August!
