Anyway, the last week has been very busy. I have been sewing a few things, but wanted to wait until I was finished to post a group shot. We spent Saturday prepping for a barbecue we threw on Sunday, and then used Monday (a local holiday) to recover. On Tuesday, Jeremy began his year-long stint in the political section. I admit, I have been spoiled by the predictable hours he worked in the consular section. On Tuesday he didn't get home until close to midnight, and on Wednesday it was 7 p.m. Tonight it will be later. I know I will have to get used to it.
This week we have also had two sick kids - one still down for the count, actually. So I haven't finished all the sewing I had planned to. But I did sew these four fitted diapers. I used a pattern I made myself, which is predictably lacking. They fit the girls (who both wear mediums) adequately and do the job for which they were intended, but I know I can do better. So last night I actually bought a pattern and will try that one out for future diapers.
I've now used up all of my absorbent diaper fabric. I had snagged some hemp jersey and bamboo fleece very cheaply from a WAHM (work-at-home-mom for you not in the know) diaper maker who was going out of business. So I've ordered more and am anxiously awaiting its arrival. Sadly, it was not near as cheap, but still better than buying disposables for the next two year.
