Vintage Knitting Patterns

I stumbled upon these patterns & thought that they may be of interest. I don't knit, so I don't know how well these compare to current knit soaker patterns.

Vintage Soaker Pantie

Vintage Fancy Baby Pants

I'm an accidental cloth-diapering mom. I stumbled on the "new" cloth diapers while on a hunt for wooly nylon thread for my serger. Then a dear friend gave us a Knicker Nappy diaper as a new-baby present. When you add all of this to the fact that I collect hobbies (and fabric and sewing patterns) with not wanting to buy a box of diapers every time I turned around - you wind up with my little misadventure.

I refer to all of this as misadventures because I do screw up, I'm not doing this "for the greater good", and I'm trying to keep this fun (because raising kid isn't always fun).

I'm old enough to remember plastic pants and jabbing myself royally with a diaper pin with younger relatives. I also remember the nasty disposables that had one-shot-to-get-it-right tabs. I'm glad that I have more options for my little girl.
