Serging marathon

After owning my serger for over a month, I finally figured out how to thread it, and got started on some projects to use it! As I posted about in my diapering post, Little Man's bottom really seems to favor all-cotton diapers, which we don't have too many of. So I pulled out a pile of t-shirts that I cut the designs out of for a tshirt quilt, and used the remainders to cut fitted diapers (so I can play with my snap pliers!). I also cut a couple of prefolds out of the tshirts and some scrap flannel I have on hand.

This picture is everything cut and ready to go -- 2 prefolds and 3 fitted diapers with snap-in soakers. I did the prefolds first to just get used to the serger before doing anything with curves, which were a little bit of a challenge, but I found some good hints and they turned out ok. My serging needs more practice, but it's ok because we need more diapers!  Little Man loves his new diapers, and they are definitely our new favorites. We recently bought Wall-E and have been watching it, so he's super excited about his Wall-E diaper! The sharks are a big hit, too.

Here's a picture of them post-serging:
