The Imaginative Seamstress

When I started potty training my nearly 2 year old, I went in search of training panties. I had been using cloth diapers before hand, and had tried using those for starters but they didn't work too well for potty training. I'd heard of the plastic covers and such, or trainers that had a layer of PUL in them. But I really didn't want those; I was in search of the old fashioned kind, like the Gerber ones that were made from white cloth and didn't have a plastic lining. Turns out, they're no longer just in white, but come in various prints and can be found at Walmart. That's where I found the ones I bought. They ran about $9.00 for 3 pair. My first thought was that I could make them rather than buy them. I searched for a pattern and tutorial online. I found both, but in separate locations. The first thing I saw was this tutorial over at Lemonwood Clock . Then I followed the link in her tutorial to another post by the  The Mom Road  where I found a printable patter

 I forgot to introduce the newest member of our little family. Miriam Rose Carty, born Jan 19th at 5:06am. Length 22.5" Weight 8lbs, 12oz. This picture taken at 2 weeks.

 What's up everybody?!?! I am about to make a re-entry into the blogging world and catch you up on everything I've been into since I left. I was way busy getting ready for baby girl to be here. Now that she's here I'm working on recovery and finding my new normal :-)  I've been having fun this evening. Easy crafts, making a gift for a baby shower. The hardest thing about these is making a decision on the colors! :-P I was so torn on the color schemes. The mom I'm giving them to loves bright and bold colors, but traditionally, baby colors are pastels. Hopefully I found a balance and covered both.  And yes, I was sitting on the floor with the ironing board way low. 4 weeks after baby #2, I get tired of standing sometimes.
