Hmmm, that was close...
In between all the helping Stashlet walk and prising him away from things he shouldn't mess with, I am managing to get a bit of crafting done. So yesterday, I spent Stashlet's nap time at the sewing machine.
I have him in reuseable nappies and he needed more boosters. I saw some stuff called DiaperMaker Zorb which is supposed to "absorb ten times its weight in less than half a second and holds up to 3 times the moisture of the best absorbing knits", so I decided to give it a go. It's sold in 50cm lengths which would net me 20 boosters - more than enough and slim enough to be used in pairs for when Stashlet has been on the beers (only joking...).
I only had enough towelling for one side so the other side is my old stand-by, Ikea's Bomull. It's still cotton and therefore will wick the wee away (very aliteratively too), so I'm fine with that. I'm zigzagging round the edges and just have a couple more to do. I thought this would be less of a fiddle than cutting everything individually. I pinned everything throughly beforehand and after making sure that there were no pins in the way of the presser foot (although clearly I didn't look closely enough) and it was pretty quick.
Now I just need to cut between the zigzag and we'll have enough boosters for any eventuality. I hope...
