Girls Day Out

I had a great little mini-vacation and am now back to work! I have had some fun these past few weeks sewing things just for little girls. I stocked some cute fitted cloth diapers, a pul/fleece diaper cover, and a swingback dress and diaper set on both my Etsy and my HyenaCart.

Most of these diapers can also have a dress or appliqued tee, or an embroidered cover made to match the diaper fabric...just ask because I am having a good time digitizing designs for embroidery. :)

3d is open again for custom orders for embroidery and cloth diapering items, and as always, I am happy to have you send your own diapers or garments to me to be embroidered. You can visit the 3d~DeebleDdo blog to view the design gallery and get a peek at what I've done recently.

Thanks for your patronage of our Etsy Cloth Diapering Team!

Ruffle Bum Shorties (or Longies!) Crochet Pattern

My adorable Ruffle Bum Shorties pattern is finally ready to go! This is my first really girly pattern, and I think it turned out quite well! My wee man was kind enough to model them for me too!

The rise and length are easily adjusted to fit your little girl, just like with my other patterns. This one is a tad more difficult, though, and probably is not best for beginners (my striped pattern is perfect for beginners, though!). This pattern ties with a simple "belt" rather than braided strands as my other patterns do.

I also have a cute boy shorties pattern coming soon! You can see all my patterns in my etsy shop.

My new line of wipes is here!

I'm excited to finally introduce my luxuriously soft cotton sherpa and velour wipes. Sold in sets of three, they are perfect for a baby's bottom, for bath time, or even as facecloths. They will be available in my store tomorrow (Monday, July 28) in five colors (chocolate brown, baby pink, baby blue, lavender floral, and pink floral). Here's a preview:

A New Etsy Cloth Diaper Member

I want to give a rave for a new diaper team member, the shop is www.acherubskiss.etsy.com and is a wonderful site for Chloe Toes diapers, and all things baby. Kim has always enjoyed sewing and is a wonderful designer of clothing in her own right. She has taken a Chloe Toes and added the cutest ruffles you have ever seen. Kim's Mom has been her business partner for over 10 years (her name is Jolly) and she designed an adorable dress to showcase these ruffle diapers. Please give her site a look and enjoy the beautiful talent they share, I have enjoyed knowing these ladies as friends and now I am so happy they are joining the efforts to help cloth diaper babies everywhere,

Bamboo

I have just finished up some bamboo fitteds I have had sitting around for a while. These all have a dyed outer layer, and turned out simply beautiful! I am having a hard time not keeping them all. Here's a preview of what will be listed over the next week.
