Not a nappy yet.... but digitised embroidery

Here's a perfect before and after pic of my digitising - first the pic I got by email, and secondly the design stitched out.

I know it's not a nappy yet but I'm doing that part today - I was so excited i just had to post a "half done" photo

I wasn't sure bout the choice of minky colour before I started - but really I should learn, the customer is always right LOL it looks great on that colour!!

Tillbrook Sprites pink - and a new minky colour

I have been on the hunt for a while now for a colour of minky to go with Tillbrook Sprites in pink. This Alexander Henry print is absolutely gorgeous - but has funny colours in it - the pink isn't really pink pink and the red is more of a rusty red.

I have 3 different light pink shades here and it never really matched any of those. I originally temed it with cherry - which looked stunning - but as the colours in this print are kind of muted I wanted something not as dark so the print would really work to it's potential

Soooooo was fabric browsing a while ago (as you do LOL) and came across this "coral" pink. It's not really a colour I would normally go for - but I thought I would give it a go. Of course I was a bit apprehensive at first because you know the colour on the screen isn't always the "real life" colour"

Well I needn't have worried - the match is absolutely perfectly spot on. Yaaaaaaaay - thanks Minky Delight - and thanks Maz for shipping it in with your minky order and saving me postage ;)

I hope you love it Tiana :)

Surf life saving nappy

This design was originally created (digitised) for a charity auction - since then I have received a few custom order requests for the same design.

Here's one in small front snap with a matching t-shirt. I love small nappies they're so cuuuuute

A Girly order shipping out

These gorgeous girly nappies have gone out to their new owner. I'm really enjoying working with minky prints lately - so lush and snuggly.

I absolutely adore dimple dot minky. I know it's not for everyone (you either love it or hate it and those that hate it REALLY hate it LOL) - I'm one of the ones that REALLY REALLY love it.

Evie has quite a few dimple dot minky nappies - and after the way she carried this one around the house ooohing and aaaaahhhing i'm guessing I need to make her a pink one with a brielle fairy on it ;)

Today's shipping

I had fun with boy nappies!!!!!

The top 2 are just so utterly gorgeous and sooooo utterly BOY!!!! I have been wanting to make a blue camo nappy for a while but always get busy - I was actually excited when Erin asked for this one. Oh and denim - anyone who knows me knows I LOVE denim minky - it looks so lush IRL - and for some reason every embroidery looks cool on denim 8)

The bottom 2 have stories....

On the left - that ones a surprise design for a special tester nappy - trying something a little bit different ;) if it works I'll tell you what it was, if it doesn't..... geez it's a pretty nappy isn't it LOL (I posted this pic on facebook with a challenge for anyone to guess the kanji on the back...)

The one on the bottom right is called "Wise Old Owl" I saw this fabric in a photo early last year - As soon as I saw it I just HAD TO have it - of course trust me to fall in love with a fabric that is a limited print done by a designer especially for one US fabric store chain.... gah ... and of course by the time i saw it, it was about 2 years out of print :( sad Tracey :(

I kind of laid off the search after about 2 months but I have never forgotten it and EVERY single time I find a new fabric store I do a hunt for the fabric

In December last year I was looking at Etsy (of all places) for a different Owl fabric (yeah I know isn't that always the way) and OMG!!!! what did I find instead.....

It was just one cut of the fabric and of course the lady selling it put a massive markup on it knowing it's OOP HTF - and I had to pay flat rate international shipping for that one piece of fabric - but my gosh it was worth it!!!!

Finally - a nappy for evie - only the second one this year!!

I actually made this applique design for the tillbrook nappies - it's taken from the shape of one of the butterflies on that fabric - but I just had to see what it woudl look like as a minky applique and I had this scrap of rainbow minky that was just screaming for it!!!

My Dh gets over the colour pink very fast so we compromised - pink snaps and embroidery thread, blue inner :D


Whenever I do a fabric co-op Evie loves to lay in the piles of velour - so of course I make her inners velour tee hee

Nappy going out today....

Elley's custom nappy going out today. I had to convince her mum to go with the new Darling Diapers Unlimited nappy, I hope she loves it as much as we do
