Cheetah Pocket

Check it out - i made a Cheetah pocket from my modified pattern. It could probably fit a 6 year old its so massive (well...maybe thats a slight exageration!!!). Ill have to give it a wash & see how it goes on Jet, ill post pics of him in it tommorow (hopefully!)

I used 2 x layers of black fleece, 1 x layer of Cheetah print fleece & black velcro.

Front/Back:


Inside/Outside:


& the velcro tabs, i made fold over tabs for laundering purposes:

so thats it! action pics to come :)

My Modified Wee Weka Pattern

Ok!

I have taken all the things i like about my Green Kids, Bum Genious & Haute Pockets & attempted to merge them with the wee weka S/M Pocket Pattern & this is the result!

I made the tabs more square like GK so i can put 1 x square hook & 1 x square loop patches on each tab (so that they can also be laundry tabs. I like the style of square tabs more too.

I made the width of the crotch somewhere between the Haute & the BG.

The length is similar in all of the nappies

The width of the base i made similar to the BG - not for any particular reason, all 3 nappies are fairly similar in the base width (i say base because its the base of this picture but really its that bit that goes across the tummy...well...you know what i mean!)

so...ive only made 2 pockets & i already think i can modify a pattern! stay tuned to see if it works :)

Cow Butt!!!

My second attempt at a pocket. This time I used 3 layers: one layer of blue fleece, then one layer PUL then one layer of cow print fleece.

First i gave it to him to have a play, check out the eye balls bulging "WOW - a cow print nappy!!!". Went straight into his mouth ofcourse!

Now the modest model:
& guess what...he likes it too, i can tell cause he pooped in it straight away :)

Heres some pics of the nappy on its own:
