Next I cut a piece of cardboard the exact size as the part of the diaper cover I wanted to cover. This was my “pattern” so to speak that I used for all the fabric. I simply folded the fabric over the cardboard to use as my guide. A cereal box would also be a good choice for a pattern, but my fabric ended up being too long.
Once I folded the fabric over the cardboard I ironed, folded and pinned it. Then I laid the rectangular pieces directly over the diaper cover and centered it. I top stitched it around all four sides, not lifting my needle as I went.
So simple right? I stacked them up nicely and tied a big green ribbon on top.
I hope she enjoys these and they should stand the test of time.
Happy sewing!

p.s. things are coming along on our kitchen floor renovation. A plumber came out and said “yep, the dishwasher is broken.” Duh. So now we have a dishwasher repair person coming out to fix it. The water evaporation machines are still in the kitchen airing it out and on Monday the floor will continue to be ripped up.
