I wanted to get some sewing done, but after my SIL went to work, my brother showed up and we played with the girls instead. But I did spend an hour and a half getting two white shirts cut out and the elastic for Nikki's Sunday diaper cover situated. No, it's not sewn in yet, but I cut another two inches to add to it and trimmed off the ends of stitched, slightly mangled elastic ends.
Diaper covers are the second most boring thing I make. But they're a wardrobe staple for babies and not easy to come by commercially. With what fabric I tend to use, they're also cheap if I make them. I almost always make a matching one for any baby girl clothes, and a handful of white ones to go with everything else. And as for the white shirts, well... I scored some Strasburg jumpers for the girls that were missing the shirts that originally came with them, and if we put the shirt underneath, it stretches their sundresses for another month or two and gives me the space to whip out some winter dresses!
