MandyBear said:LOL, I can replace a button, fix a small hole or tear, but I think those far exceed my current sewing skills.
They both look great! I really like the diaper cover material, would make for an adorable dress or skirt.
BabyBunting said:Wow! Those are soooo cute! If i could, i would make my own, but i am AWFUL at drafting my own patterns, and it's really hard to find such pretty fabrics where I live, at affordable prices. Still, I'm stuck at home with my fabric stash, so maybe I'll manage something cute eventually...
ZoeGrace said:Those are still useful skills and a surprising amount of people don't know how to sew buttons on, so good for you!
The diaper cover actually used to be an old ugly nightgown my mom gave me
BlueStringBean said:These are beautiful! I am also in the trial-and-error phase of making tutus, but your's is amazing! And the diaper cover is so ruffly I love it!
MandyBear said:Thanks. My sewing skills were learnt thru necessity, lol.
Ya, sometimes even the cutest patterns or materials aren't spared from being turned into hideous clothes, LOL.
But you managed to save it and turn it into something truly cute and fun!
In the second pic, I love how the tutu's trim matches your diaper.
I've been sewing for years, and tracing and altering is still mostly what I do. I have a vague idea by now how to draft things from scratch, but I am not very good at it. My onesie pattern which I use to this day is traced from a commercial bodysuit, though I widened the crotch obviouslyZoeGrace said:My plan is to just trace and copy things, altering them slightly to my liking, until I get good enough to draft from scratch. My next planned goal is a onesie.

Over the years I've made sooooo many Little clothes, thankfully Germany has a wide array of affordable Jerseys in adorable patterns. I'll try to upload some pictures later when I figure out how to get them here from my phone ^^
Sheepies said:I've made secret diaper storages and backpacks out of stuffed animals if that counts for anything.
But that's pretty much the only successful thing I've made.
I've attempted to make a mock up of Convert-Ups, but I just can't get the measurements and elastics right. Also hand stitching is a literal pain. I've been having issues with my hands locking up since my early teens.
SparkleBunny said:I've never made any little gear. But I think the best I could do is make a pacifier gag with my pony beads. lol Probably wouldn't be as good as fabric and I wouldn't use it for my little side though (unless the preteen/tween me wanted to).
I only know a few techniques, but not very many since i had to graduate middle and high school so I couldn't perfect any bigger ones. Plus I just have trouble with some of the how tos on techniques in general. Only new one I've learned is the daisy. But i made a kandi daisy bracelet too big for my wrist of course. But there's lots of things i wouldn't use for my little side anyway. But that's for a different reason involving a kink, but i think we should stay on topic here.ZoeGrace said:Maybe not as strong as fabric, but pony beads are cool to work with too, I have so many of them, but I haven't beaded in quite a long time.
RunButDontHide said:I once made a onesie out of two t-shirts, but nothing close to this, just cut and sewed them poorly. It did kind of work...
German patterns by far are my favorite to make. Makerist is my current go-to place to pattern hunt.Schwanensee said:I've been sewing for years, and tracing and altering is still mostly what I do.
