She had her yearly physical this week and one issue we discussed with the doctor was the fact that though she always wakes up dry, she still wears a diaper to bed. There's no particular rush to not have her wear a diaper, except that if she doesn't need them, I'd rather not buy them. So, we made a deal, she could wear her diaper every other night for a little while and I would make her some special overnight undies to wear for the non-diaper night. I have to admit, these were so fun to make, that I may never buy kids underwear again!
These were so simple and were very satisfying since they take very little time to make. I simply cut up a pair of undies that fit (Miss M. has about a million pairs!) and traced the pieces. I cut one front piece, one back piece, and 2 crotch pieces to make it double layered.
I love the set all in pink with different colored borders. So fun! And, so far so good. Miss M. wore a pair last night, and tonight is in her diaper, per our deal. We'll see how it goes!
Oh my gosh - I need some of these for Camryn!! You are so creative!
ReplyDeleteI recently did the same thing with a pair of my daughter's underwear. Only, she's 13, and the thatdarnkat pattern that I have no longer goes up to her size, and I didn't have the money to buy her a new pack....soooo, out came the scissors; snip snip, and voila! A new underwear pattern in her size. She thought it was a little corny that I was making her underwear, until I cut up her outgrown justin bieber t-shirts to make them with, and now she grabs them as soon as they're out of the dryer! LOL.
