It was at the suggestion and help of a member of my Yahoo group.
 
i wish you had matching booties, you're layout of instructions are so clear and easy to follow thank you!
 
I'll have to work on that one. I do have a bootie idea, but it is for crocheted ones.
 
Hi Suzie Just wanted say that you have beautiful work. I so love the girly diaper cover. My daughter is expecting her first baby girl. Thanks for sharing.
God Blessed
