Making time for Hobbies

I have a couple hobbies that I really enjoy and I think it is time to start working on my hobbies again. Two of my main hobbies are making duct tape purses/ wallets and making designed diapers.  I will have to go through the entire process some time but most of it I do by eye.


For making the duct tape purses I make squares that are duct taped on both sides. I then cut out the basic design of the outer purse.

 I used a pink cloth that is laminated on the one side to make a stretchier inside that would wipe clean after a makeup spill.

I tried to put a snap on it to help close it but it didn't stay with the glue. I am putting it on with a magnetic one next time.

I use one bold background color  because it is cheaper. The ones that are more colorful or have more of a design cost more and you get less per roll.




Another one of my more recent hobbies is making cloth diapers. I am not sure if I would continue that or if I wanted to make blankets or other things. I like sewing. For making cloth diapers I just kinda eyed the general shape of the diaper. I used a cover all version to figure out the general shape. I used the velcro to make the straps adjustable. I also used snaps on it to change the size so it would continue to fit her as she grew. The cloth on the outside is a soft fleece and the inside is the same laminated cloth as I used on the purse. The tricky part was making it inside out and so that i could sew the elastic in.
