I had this super cute dinosaur fabric hoarded for about a year now, and finally whipped something up from it in early December. Paired with brown minky, the effect is too cute.

I’ve never done cotton panel nappies before. Using cotton on the outside of a brown minky nappy made me nervous (flashback to customers finding leaks when I did cotton outer nappies when I first started!), but the effect is cute enough that I would consider making more.

I find I need time and practice to get into the groove of making something new. I’m never comfortable with asking for money for a new technique I simply picked up in 1-2 hours, unless it turned out perfect!

As it were, I had some practice runs with another different nappy cut (to be revealed in due time), before making up this dino nappy. This nappy was almost perfect, but for the fact that the dinos were blind! Now I know what to do next time.

See why I called this the 'Blind Dino' nappy?

Sorry about the camera angle, the panel looks like it’s sewn on crooked but I can assure you it was straight in real life!

After hanging on to it for a few weeks, debating whether to keep this one or make another for my Little C-boy, the nappy was claimed by its new owner in Perth.

Isn’t he a cutie?
