Cloth Pull-Ups Take One

Okay, before I begin there are a few things you need to know:

-I am not a seamstress. I do not have stellar sewing skills.

-My sewing machine is not a modern model. It was a generous gift from my Mother-In-Law and she's had it since Paul was a kid.

-My purpose in doing this is to save $$. I was not making this so it'd look cute. The fashion police are not going to show up at my house in the middle of the night to inspect the style of my son's pull-ups while he sleeps.

-If you're reading this and you are agasp at my sewing or even my idea of doing this, please move on. I am chronicling my attempts, not putting this online for you to pick apart and criticize me. If you have a better idea or a better method I could use, please share. But negative Nellys, please move on to the next blog.

Okay, without further adieu, here's what I did.

The reason I started this in the first place is because I have a boy who does things on his own time. He'll be able to wake up and go to the bathroom when he's ready. I could offer him the world, but he'll do things on his own time. I decided that I'm sick of buying disposable pull ups and I'd rather have a cloth option that is washable. I am also not into shelling out the big bucks for cloth diapers online when I can just make my own. I did some googling, and found things likethis online. After reading this, I began to think about what materials I had at home.

I took 2 pair of underwear and a generic version of a Sham Wow. Yes, a Sham Wow. Only it isn't called a Sham Wow because we got it at the flea market for $1.00. You don't know what a Sham Wow is? Oh, then let me remind you...

Anyway, I thought of the Sham Wow because it's super absorbent. The idea is not to soak the bed, right?

So here are the pictures of the materials:

After that, I cut the underwear on the sides. So I could layer the Sham Wow between the two pairs of undies and sew them together with a seam. When I cut them apart and laid them out, they looked like this:

I only had a few pins, but I pinned down the undies, and used a sharpie to trace the undies onto the Sham Wow. Then I cutout the Sham Wow, and pieced it together between the two pair of undies. When it was all pinned together, it looked like this:

Then I sewed. I ended up using a large straight stitch. I tried a fancy zig zag, but I think the age of my sewing machine couldn't handle doing it through three layers of material. Here are some pictures of all the sewing:

This is what it looked like when I sewed the seams together on the sides:

So here's the verdict. The undies lost their stretchiness (is that a word?) when I layered them with the sham wow. Simply put, they were too small. I like the idea of using undies because it's a fool proof pattern. I ended up taking this apart at the seams on the side and putting them inside his undies to use as an absorbent pad to check the absorbency. It was good, but I think a plastic liner will help. I am going to purchase some bigger boys' undies (maybe on the cheap at the $1 store), another generic Sham Wow (they have them at Winn Dixie for $1) and also a cheap felt backed plastic table cloth. I am going to layer it all together and sew that way. Instead of sewing the seams shut on the side, I am going to make velcro closures of some kind. I am looking forward to making this work for us!

Not Me! Monday

It's been a long time since I have posted a Not Me! Monday, but here we go...

This is a blog carnival started by MckMama, click here to visit her site.

It wasn't me who had to get up before dawn on a Saturday morning to get out to the ballpark. And it most certainly wasn't our little league field that sent out three versions of a game schedule and we most assuredly did not think our son had a baseball game when he didn't. We did enjoy opening day activities though, so I guess it worked out.

It isn't me who needs to seriously organize our files. I have surely been most organized and everything is perfectly filed. Things haven't been out of whack since we moved into our new home in November.

It wasn't me who breathed a fresh sigh of relief this weekend when I realized I feel the most well I've felt in several months. No, I have been well and alive and kickin' all of 2010!

It isn't me who wonders who actually reads my blog and would really like someone to make some comments. I don't often wish I'd know how many people read my blog.

Would you like to join in? Hop on over to MckcMama's blog and learn how to get started.

T-Ball Opening Day 2010

Today was the Opening Day at the Ball Park. Basically, all the kids dressed up in their uniforms, they introduced the teams, and everyone lined up on the field. We were impressed that a local pastor prayed in Jesus' name and that the Little League Pledge states that they will trust in God.

Here are some pictures from the events today:

Back from a Long Hiatus and some Publix deals...

Okay, so it's been a while since I've made a post. Life happens, you know. Our family was blessed to purchase a brand new home in November. I have lots of decorating to do, but we are moved in and this is beginning to feel like a home. Then we had the holidays-Thanksgiving and Christmas brought us lots of visitors and I did lots of cooking. I caught a bug over Christmas and it took me well over a month to get well and now I am fighting off sinus mess again. My doctor says that pollen and allergens are at an all time high for this time of year in Tampa. Go figure.

Austin will soon begin TBall and we'll be keeping ourselves busy on the weekends with that. I'm looking forward to it and so is he. It is exciting.

In all this time, I also changed schools and teaching positions. I wanted to be able to teach in our neighborhood school. It's been my goal since we had Austin. I want the luxury of taking him with me when he begins kindergarten next year. By God's provision a fifth grade position came open at our neighborhood school. I sent my resume over, gave a kick-butt interview and got the job. The transfer was really fast but my new principal was very supportive. I am much happier in my new school and my commute is all of three minutes! God is good.

I also found a great source for my shopping planning. Publix Penny Pincher is a great site. Not only does she have some phenomenal coupon match ups, but she also posts recipes you can make for dirt cheap using the sales at Publix. I can't complain about that one!

So without further adieu, here are some rockin' deals at Publix this week (thanks to publixpennypincher) :
