Doll Nappy sewing bee.

[Kaz]

everyone.

The plan is to make as many doll nappies as we can to give to children during Cloth nappy week.

Who can help? Either sewing at home or coming to a sewing evening/day.

Please post here if you can help with a guestimate on how many you are prepared to make, anywhere between 1-100 would be great

I've got 8 done and 2 more cut ready to do, they only take 5 minutes each really but haven't found even that this week but after that I'm out fo scraps apart from quilting cottons, which i just don't think will be as popular as pul or minky? but the only girly stuff i have is cotton...

[tastic]

do dolls nappies need to be pul lined and have elastic?

[Amethyst]

I can help, still have that bx of PUL here too.

I can't sew but In A Pear Tree was selling off scraps of pul minky etc if they are big enough I'd be happy to donate a bag to someone sewing them up?

[rootoo]

I'd be happy to sew up scraps from Nat if they're big enough I'm out of fabrics here except cottons and they're just not as nappy-y looking, and most of the ones I've sewn up are boy-y

Can I get a rough tally of how many we've got

I've got 40 and I'm not making any more, other things to organise

[rootoo]

If I can get them all done I'll have about 20-25 I think. it's not like they take very long, but find it hard to get time to sew... can't do it when mr O is asleep cos the tiniest noise wakes him and when he's up and crawling around the place i'm jumping up every 5 seconds to remove something from his mouth or go and check on the suspicious silence
I think I'll just send them over to you, i have pass the parcel bags, when do you need them by?

[Kaz]

Finished ones by the start of cloth nappy week.
Unfinished ASAP and I can finish them

[rootoo]

when is cloth nappy week? I'll get them finished, I've been a bit busy with yarny stuff the last couple of weeks but should get some more time now that's under control

ETA: never mind, found it I'll get them finished this week and sent to you on monday of the next week. If I get time I'll see if i can dig up any more scraps, some might be patchwork doll nappies
