So I went shopping for some cute fabric! Then we moved across the country. And then it started raining. A lot. Because it likes to do that here. So it took awhile before we set down to make one, but we finally made a summer one:&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fe4KEPRSnbY/TyG92jGBfXI/AAAAAAAADes/lb_rSxNBuUs/s1600/DSCF0199.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fe4KEPRSnbY/TyG92jGBfXI/AAAAAAAADes/lb_rSxNBuUs/s200/DSCF0199.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5702047348058848626" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;There were kinks in our pattern (hence the darts) but we thought with one more draft we'd get it right. 6 months later I finally decide it's time to try again, mostly due to this challenge. :) This time I made a winter version, using fleece as the inside material- which you can't see in the pictures. We changed the pattern, but still ended up having to use darts. Maybe this spring when I try yet again, we'll finally get it right!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ILfsL6kdiCQ/TyHA2cbZW0I/AAAAAAAADfE/LTE8-hyDONk/s1600/DSCF0184.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ILfsL6kdiCQ/TyHA2cbZW0I/AAAAAAAADfE/LTE8-hyDONk/s320/DSCF0184.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5702050644804328258" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qMG9mDyg4rg/TyG92YlrDVI/AAAAAAAADeg/8qrTVW8ins0/s1600/DSCF0190.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qMG9mDyg4rg/TyG92YlrDVI/AAAAAAAADeg/8qrTVW8ins0/s200/DSCF0190.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5702047345238805842" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-09j5t247sNQ/TyG91lmKvNI/AAAAAAAADeY/r4L0hD3L_1A/s1600/DSCF0187.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-09j5t247sNQ/TyG91lmKvNI/AAAAAAAADeY/r4L0hD3L_1A/s200/DSCF0187.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5702047331550674130" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span &gt;(Love those little curls peeking out!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7770169571021578745-9189279227653921849?l=craftybug.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://craftybug.blogspot.com/feeds/9189279227653921849/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7770169571021578745&amp;postID=9189279227653921849' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7770169571021578745/posts/default/9189279227653921849'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7770169571021578745/posts/default/9189279227653921849'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://craftybug.blogspot.com/2012/01/finish-something-i-start-1-urban-bonnet.html' title='Finish Something I Start: #1 Urban Bonnet'/><author><name>Ratliffs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04530195217870676871</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_EYQdAQrUe8c/SkQYW92aF0I/AAAAAAAAChI/7IMDmE6lBGw/S220/DSCF0096.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fe4KEPRSnbY/TyG92jGBfXI/AAAAAAAADes/lb_rSxNBuUs/s72-c/DSCF0199.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7770169571021578745.post-4919620285353215782</id><published>2012-01-13T12:59:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-13T13:01:55.274-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='challenge'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='finish what you start'/><title type='text'>Finish what you start: A challenge</title><content type='html'>Today I have decided to join a challenge from &lt;a href="http://maemaedaily.com/2012/01/finishing-something-i-started-feature-fsis/"&gt;MaeMae Daily&lt;/a&gt; to finish the projects I've started but never finished.

I didn't really follow any set tutorial/pattern. I just kind of winged it!&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;What I did:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;-took a pair of womens knee socks&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;-cut of the foot (right where the sock began to curve for the foot)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;-measured out the size of elastic (I made it a little loose around her ankles with the intent that as she grew, they would still fit her. That and I didn't want elastic lines on my baby's ankle.)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;-sewed the elastic together&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;-turned the sock inside out&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;-folded over the top (of the bottom) of the sock, encasing the elastic inside&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;-tacked it down with pins&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;-sewed around the edge (making sure not to sew the elastic!)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I made these so the top of the sock would go on her thighs. This wasn't the most effective way for doing these...but it did work!

We took the measurement of my husbands hands (the largest hands to use them) and cut out squares. (Ours were 8x8) Then I did a zig zag stitch around the edges.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have made a few other diaper things, just haven't taken pictures.

I finally decided that I just needed to try them so that we could either join the cloth diapering club, or I could put it out of my mind forever. :) A friend of mine recently started and had tons of great, cheap ideas to share with me! She had ordered grips of a fabric called &lt;a href="http://www.wazoodle.com/cgi-bin/catstore.cgi?user_action=list&amp;amp;category=Fabrics;Barrier;ProCare"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"&gt;procare&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and had tons of extra to share (along with the velcro and f.o.e.). She even had made a pattern to use too!! So, after paying her back and ordering the&lt;a style="color: rgb(255, 204, 51);" href="http://www.cottonbabies.com/product_info.php?cPath=28&amp;amp;products_id=277"&gt; pre-folds&lt;/a&gt; or total starting cost ended up being $45.00.  Not bad at all for 20 diapers! (Compared to the $200 you can spend for 12!) And the best thing yet is that I actually don't mind them at all!!

It was a daunting task, I thought at first, but after wards learned that it was very easy and painless! I am now working on another scarf that will also need to be blocked and have no fear whatsoever of that thought! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a hat that I made that goes with this scarf-matching. Unfortunately, in my typical fashion, I forgot to take a picture of it. I hope to make a set for myself, as this was a gift, but until then, just picture the pattern as a hat and you'll pretty much have the idea of it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*To learn more about blocking, visit this &lt;a style="color: rgb(255, 204, 102);" href="http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEwinter02/FEATdiyknitter.html"&gt;site&lt;/a&gt;.
