Tiger Butt!!!

Ok, since its obvious that i like making animal print nappies i thought id give a tiger butt a go!

Couldnt find the tiger print anywhere, ended up buying a cheap fleece blanket from coles ($5 i think) & cutting that up.

This is my first go at using the snap press & it wasnt nearly as scary as i thought it would be. Its also my first attempt at an AI2 nappy (All in Two).

I used the wee weka s/m pocket nappy pattern but i adjusted it a bit.
The nappy consists of 2 layers of fleece + a bit extra in the wet zone. The booster snapps in and folds out for quicker drying. It consists of 1 layer of fleece & 2 layers of bamboo fleece for the top bit & the bottom bit is just 3 layers of bamboo fleece.

If i thought my sewing skills were doddgy my overlocking skills are even worse, theres lots of loose loops, not sure how they got there! & i only have white overlocking thread (even if i did have black im not sure i would have tried to change it - thats a task & a half in itself!!!).

Its quite thick with all the layers of fleece & bamboo fleece & the leg elastic doesnt really look even but it should go ok.

No action shots yet cause jet is asleep (i know...i cant believe it either!).
