I recently dyed another batch of prefold diapers. These are all infant size, and will be listed either over at Etsy or at Wallypop. If you want them before they’re listed, just shoot me an email!

OK, this was so fun. I’m going to order more mold making goodies and start scouring the planet for fun things to make. I already have a few ideas.

The first thing I did was firmly affix the original to the bottom of my tray. I sealed it around all of the edges with modeling clay. Then I also sealed along the bottom of the tray, since the joint between the walls and the bottom of the tray was not tight.

I followed the instructions that came with the mold making stuff to mix up the silicone and apply it. I didn’t take any pictures during this part - I was trying to work quickly, measure accurately, and not let either very curious child make a mess. But here’s what it looked like after I finished pouring in the silicone.

Four hours later…

Of course, I could not resist making a quick bar of soap, so I remelted some leftover soap pieces I had from a different project.

The melted soap was all full of air bubbles, and so the resulting soap is a little messy.

So - I’m so excited! Han Solo in Carbonite soap, chocolates, and candies!!

Over at Sew Retro, Janice shared information about her new iPhone application - a vintage fabric converter. When you’re shopping for fabric for your vintage patterns, are you ever stymied by the fabric width options on the back of the envelope? You end up purchasing too much fabric as you try to guess how much fabric you need in our modern width of 44 inches, when the pattern calls for 1.75 yards of 39 inch wide fabric? While no conversion can be perfect, this iPhone app looks promising! Read more about it over at her blog.
