**WARNING** Sunglasses may be required!

Well...today i made jet another nappy (because he can never have enough!). Why is it bright orange? well, for a couple of reasons. 1. because i have 2m of velour & microfleece 2. because the in-laws are dutch & thats their national colour & 3. well...why not!

This time round i used the Ottobre pattern. This pattern has 2 sizes, i used the largest one because jet is getting a bit big for the s/m wee weka pattern so i figured the smaller size might not fit for long on this pattern....but the nappy is massive!!! So i guess it will fit him eventually & for now i can stuff it with heaps & use it as a night nappy - jet is a massivly heavy wetter!!!

Ok, heres the nappy (its a little bright!):

The inner is made from orange (in case you couldnt tell) velour:

& the outer is made with microfibre:

There is a hidden layer of white PUL & I used blue snaps, I do have orange ones that match but I thought id throw in a bit of contrast (so DH has a chance of putting it on the right way). I used blue because its DH's favorite colour & he is sick of me using purple for everything & also because the orange & blue chakras are opposite - so the colours are opposite polarities (or something).

Here are some action shots:



I sewed the elastic onto the outer layer (through all the layers though) but the inner material is still rolling out? not sure what happend there - its the first time ive done that, figured it didnt really matter since both sides were soft.

I also overlocked some microfibre inserts. They are 3 layers each very doddgily sewn together, but they do the trick! They have already been through the wash thats why there all fluffy:

well, thats enough sewing for one day, now im off to clean up all the mess i made.
