Who has attempted to sew CDs?

I may be a tad over zealous here, but after watching a YouTube video, I think I can do it. If you have, how many attempts did it take to perfect it? and have you tried sewing covers? I wonder how many I can make before I give birth...any words of wisdom?

I've sewn one or two diapers.  My first ones were admittedly ugly, but I now hate the pattern I was using at the time.  IMO, it is WELL worth the $5 to buy the KCK One pattern (or the KCK Sized pattern, if you would like sized diapers).  The patterns include wonderful instructions and membership in the KCK diaper-sewing forum. 

 Fabrics and notions can be found, in addition to the patterns, at www.kaylasclothkits.com

 Pretty please, if you are going to sew diapers, do so with the appropriate materials and notions.  You will NOT be happy if you try to use Velcro that is available in retail settings.   Aplix, Lastin, etc, really aren't that expensive...but are SO much nicer to work with. 

 

You have enough time to make gazillions of diapers between now and your DC's birthday.  Have fun, but beware...it's addictive.

I have, and it is WAY addicting!  As for free patterns, the mama bird one is great IMO and I don't think its a terrible idea to start with cheaper supplies so that you get used to it.  I've made several fitteds, and they are finally getting "prettier" now that I have been able to practice.  I just used Wal-Mart fleece to start with and either made my own soaker out of the fleece or used the microfiber towels I bought.  My next project will probably be to get the KCK kit, but for now I just stick to the free and inexpensive stuff.  I bought a few WAHM covers the other day and I am absolutely convinced i could have made them myself.  So I don't think they are that difficult.  Pretty sure that the ones I bought were just turned and topstitched after the elastic was sew in.  Its my avatar if you can see it.  Good luck!  Its so much fun!
