Always Been A Fan Of Fleece

I made fleece quilts for everyone in my family a couple years ago for Christmas. I have had all these fleece scrap squares sitting around for forever with absolutely nothing to do with them! Well this week I will be working on my scrap diapers(for the meconium poos) and will finally get to use some of my fleece scraps! They will most likely be ugly, lol, but really doesn't matter right?

Anyways, I had a better reason for posting today. Yesterday morning Seth(my wonderfull husband!) brought me to Joanns to get a few much needed supplies! Bought some thread and a couple zippers, plus ended up finding a few nice remnants of black and lime green fleece. Score!
So since I FINALLY had thread I got straight to work sewing up a couple things that have been waiting for some time to be sewn!

First of all I finally got to sew up my first wet bag!! Mossy Oak camo for DH of course ;)

Tutorial I used to make: http://alemonsqueezyhome.blogspot.com/2010/05/wetbag-tutorial.html

And I managed to get a Snail Shell Diaper done! (from what I have heard these are supposed to be great for newborns who are breast fed)

I made these fleece longies a couple weeks ago, but thought I'd show them off since I am showing off the cowboys diaper that matches :) I made them for our little boy to wear to his grandma and grandpas house. They are big cowboys fans and the fleece I used was actually leftover fleece from making DH's dad a cowboys quilt 2 Christmas' ago.



This was my first try at making longies, and I'm really happy with how they turned out! The cuff on the right leg is a little smaller than the cuff on the left but I don't think it will be noticable once they are on him. I made the legs a little longer than average, because I just have a feeling he is going to be a tall little boy. Seth was very long when he was born and my family is also prone to tall skinny boys!

Here's the pattern for the longies, don't have a tutorial but it's pretty simple to figure out yourself:
