30 Days Of Diaper Making

01 Aug 2009 by happilybarefoot

Usually these ‘30 days of ___’ challenges are used to help people form a new good habit. For me, it’s to get something done.

While I have been cranking out knitting and crocheted longies and hats for my whole pregnancy (25 weeks tomorrow!) I have only made a small handful of diapers. This baby needs diapers.

So I will spend the next 30 days concentrating on diaper making – I will do SOMETHING every day to get me closer to my ideal stash of diapers.

Newborn Diapers (30ish left)
Small Diapers (36 ideal, 24 minimum)
Medium Diapers (24)

I’m still trying to decide if I should write out a daily schedule or if I should just wing it. I think my goal will be to have an average of two diapers a day sewn, which should get me almost done with both newborns and smalls.

This project will also help me with another goal I’ve had for awhile – to blog every day. So there you go.

Wish me luck! :)
