All in one nappy :) and bowel cancer :(

Well after another day remembering my late brother-in-law who passed away 6 months ago at age 47 from bowel cancer - people get a check, it might not be the nicest thing you do but it could save your life. I know I have been having colonoscopies for the last 5 years and have had quite a few precancerous polops removed. Thirteen the first time and 6 the second. I worked for a medical company and had close association with many specialists and apparently if a polop is going to turn into cancer you have about 5 years before the changes start so I am glad I had my checks otherwise I could be inn the same boat as Al. Anyhow that is my advice, see the doctor and ask about having a check.

So now we get to the newest creation.....I have made an all in one nappy, a reusable cloth one so the new mums who do not want to be bothered with pins and have a heck of a time actually making a cloth nappy stay put.  I borrowed a disposable nappy from a family member and made myself a pattern.  I used soft flannel for the outside and a cheap stretch jersey for the inner liner (which I picked up in the clearance bin at the local fabric store)  and some terry cloth to make the insert.  Below is the result.  The camera angle makes one tab look much larger than the other I am not sure if it is down to the camera angle or maybe just the photographer!  I hope you find it as interesting as I did making it. And yes the 29yo sewing machine handled the job superbly.
