an even easier diaper wipes case
There is no fooling you guys - most of you were spot on with your guesses about Ruby's costume in the last post. I'll wait until I've actually sewn something wearable before I make a reveal though Snow White or Wonder Woman? I'm sure you'll lose sleep over the anticipation. :)
This week I made a diaper wipes case for a friend's baby shower, but I wasn't in the mood for hot-gluing (every once and a while I like to save my fingertips).
Instead, I got out my vinyl and cut an all-over pattern using my Silhouette machine. The front had the pattern only, fudged slightly on that center flap.
The back has the same pattern repeated, and the mommy-to-be's last name in the center. I doubt she'll ever grab the wrong case at the playground now.
You don't need a Silhouette to make one of these (although that certainly makes the process quicker and more precise). Vinyl can always be cut by hand, and I think even Contact Paper would work well. I recommend using a premium or outdoor vinyl if you can get your hands on it, since the adhesive is stronger and hold up to more abuse.
I saved my template pieces for the front and back of the case, so let me know if you'd like me to post them!
