Bum Covers

Baby's bums are cute, but what about those diapers?

Well, I've been following a blog (Dana Made It...note link on side of blog) and reading a few books. I want to keep learning new things with new projects for a beginner. Not sure if you noticed, but between aprons, I've been picking something new. 

This afternoon, while Sunday football devoured Tim, Shirley and I spent some time together. 

Diaper Covers...here we come! No....we're not preggo, but have family and friends who have little bubs who might like a chic bum cover!

For the tutorial and pattern..go to made 

Find some fabric...you may not even need a 1/2 yard.
How cute is this mod jungle pattern???

You'll need some bias tape if you chose a little snazzy look (make sure to get the double fold...oops, I had to make an extra trip)



You'll need elastic



Remember: Follow her instructions, but here's how mine looked as I went through her tutorial.



Um, yea, bias...super fun to use and surprisingly easy! I won't lie...I was intimidated!



Both legs done and just need some elastic to squeeze those cute little legs! The pins are to mark the opening (you'll know what I mean when you follow Dana's tutorial).




Ta-da!!! All done! So fun! Now, your baby's bum will be soooo on trend and chic!

 Now...will it actually fit???? YIKES!
