i made one with a lampin converted to prefold but the color was yucky tht's why i didnt show photos. it should be ok just not the one i made because i was mainly experimenting with cheap fabric it didnt come out nice. i think it's great to add some colors to prefold. another friend brought up that idea earlier. are there some colored prefold in the market already?

I used to love love love TnD t-shirts....A must havefor skaters back in the 90's.
One thing i found out is that some dyes possible makes the material weaker? I say this because on a few tees, i'd get holes on certain colours. And if i poke the same colour somewhere else on the tee, it'll tear....Wonder if its the dye or just my bad luck with my fav tee?

Thanks for the kind words.

honeyB, that's the bamboo fabric i dyed last wk and made into fitted. oh, i use cuddlebuns pattern for that fitted.

any suggestions what i should do with the orange hemp fabric? it's got pretty big patterns not sure if made into fitted. would be nice if i can turn it into a top.
