Bigger on the Inside (I wish)

Mina was about three months old when I finally caved. I'd rewatched "How I Met Your Mother" countless times. I even tried the Netflix original "House of Cards"which turned out to be a good choice. But by three months (nearly five months since I'd been off work), I ran out of shows. So I did something I told myself I wouldn't. I watched "Rose," episode one of the new "Doctor Who." It was okay but I wasn't sure I understood the obsession with this show. So I watched episode 2 and then 3. And then the binge-watching began. Season 2 started getting really good. Somehow, a month or so later, I ran out of episodes to watch on Netflix (6 series of episodes) so I re-watched them all with Ben and got him hooked too. While watching, I noticed something. Mina was mesmerized by the opening sequence of the TARDIS flying through space. I had seen a TARDIS-themed cloth diaper made by Seams Geeky (if you are into anything geekery do NOT check this out - I am warning you). Unfortunately we didn't have diaper money, and her dipes are super hard to get. But then I saw a galaxy print PUL for sale from Diaper Sewing supplies and found a TARDIS patch on Etsy from PrincessHeirlooms and this is what happened.

It is definitely not perfect but it is really cute and is pretty effective at holding in poop and pee which is more than I can say for my last attempt at a pocket diaper (cute but leaks). I also used buttonhole elastic so it can be sized to grow with Mina but doesn't have a bunch of ugly snaps in the front. Using this elastic in both the legs and the waist makes for a really perfect fit. I'm really happy I made this even though it probably wasn't the most cost/time effective way to get a TARDIS diaper. Next project is making a blue tutu which should be much easier and cheaper.
