Let me start off by saying that if you have any organic velour in your possession, please go get it in a dye bath NOW. This stuff dyes soooooo well! When my next batch arrives, I'm going to make Sophie a pair of dyed pants and put the velour side facing her legs. :heart:

So, I'm trying to do some more "specialty" items for my biz... We're doing another collaberation at MiddayFaire this month ~ MAYSILKS, with silks dyed by Joyce of Elliebelly. For that, I did this set ~ Embellished Wool Cover, OV diaper (inner and outer YUMMMYYY!!), a doubler, and the playsilk.

I also did a Large set, with OV lap topped t-shirt, wool board shorts/capris, OV dipe, and doubler. The top is Burda 9880. I really love the look of the pattern but the sizing is horrible! The shirt below was supposed to be for the small set above; I cut the 6m/68cm size and it fits Sophie. :eyes: The 18m/86cm shirt that I made that was supposed to go with the set below is more like a size 4. blah!

Here's the 4T shirt, that was supposed to be an 18m. :eyes:

And finally, one of my high school/college friends is having a baby and she's coming over tomorrow so I made her a newborn wool cover and matching lay-in doublers that I *think* she should be able to use as "diapers" in the beginning...

TFL! Sorry for all the pics -- I'm such a picture hog. :lol:

I *love* the color combination, just beautiful! Sorry the shirt didn't work out well.

Very nice. It is all sooooo lovely. The dye job you did is TDF. Your friend is lucky. :heart:

that is just gorgeous!! I'm in love with the wool board shorts. I think Kallan needs some.

I am thinking of co-oping organic velour in June, the price would be 9 to 10$ a yard depending on quantity. I have no clue how that compares though. Is it a good price? You can pm me if you would rather. ;)

Everything is beautiful! I love the colors.

The co-op prices I've been paying have been $8.74/yd I think. But it's also been VERY hard to come by lately as the mill is running behind. I managed to snag 20 yards this week though. :D Oh, and it's my understanding that they're thinking of taking the production of the OV overseas (to Turkey) because they can't keep up with demand at the US mill. :eyes: Not sure how that would affect the price though, if at all...

Gorgeous Meagan. :)

Those are gorgeous - the colors remind me of Fall...... such a yummy D&S&S....



Monica

that is beautiful!!!!

I think it is a very good thing that I have a boy at this very moment. That's darling!

That's a really pretty set Meagan. I love the name you chose :)

You know, I'm marketing them as a gender neutral sets. :eyes: Although I do see how they lend to the girly side a little bit... Actually, my original intention was that they would *BE* boy sets. LOL The color of the wool is a rust color -- it does lend to red a little bit which makes it look mauve. At any rate, I hope there's some adventurous diapering mamas out there with boys that will find the set *whimsical* and not "girly". ROFL

I would totally put it on my ds, Meagan :) Just not sure I can afford it, LOL! Beautiful!!

YUM YUM YUM! I love that!

OK so what colors did you use in the LWI?

I have OV just sitting here for almost a year - haven't sewn any of it up!!! Thanks for the inspiration

maybe it's my monitor calibration? It reads as pink on my screen...perhaps I didn't need to know it's more red than pink. *reminds self to sew not shop*

Meagan~How beautiful and unique! I love the detail stitching on the wool cover such a nice touch. I'm sure you'll sell this right away.

the colors are TDF!

I'd put it on a boy :D or girl ;)

so...um....are ya going to sell the 4t shirt at middayfaire???? um...so about how much might that cost??? ;)

Wow! That is gorgeous!!! You did a beautiful job! (As usual!) :happy:

oh my goodness, that is a gorgeous set. I would definitely put it on Fin, in fact, I'll be keeping an eye out when it goes up. :)

YUM YUM YUM! I love that!

Girl you need to sew it up -- this stuff is AWESOME (and I'm not a fan of velour. LOL). I used 10grams of each: Rust Brown and Loden (from prochemical).

I'm not sure where I'll be selling these... Obviously the set with the silk will go with the MaySilks thing at MDF -- I think that's the 17th??? I also have 2 lots of doublers, in addition to the shorts set. I'm thinking about auctioning them next week...

beautiful!

That pattern for the diaper is awesome. As a diaper maker myself I am very impressed. Did you use a purchased pattern, or come up with one on your own? I get a total anxiety atteck when I try to make my own patterns but the satisfaction when it works and actually fits a human being is awesome!

Once again I am so drooling! Good thing I really dont have any extra dough!

It's my own pattern for my biz (link in my siggy). :) I started from scratch when Sophie was a few months old, after getting sick of *buying* diapers and then sick of the HB-Home pattern that I was using. LOL

I like the dec stitches on the wool diaper..purdy

gosh..those are Gorgeous! :)

Absolutely gorgeous Meagan!!! I love, love LOVE the colors!!! Fantastic job as always :monkeydan

wow!! that is gorgeous! I like loose shirts on my DS so I would be cool with it :)
