Bundles of Joy Wool Pocket Pants!

Inspired by my own toddler (and the Lost Boys from Peter Pan) who yearns for clothes with pockets, I started using the fronts of pocketed wool cardigans to make pants. Originally I made them only for my own children as the pocketed sweaters were scarce to find. But today I have listed the first one in my shop for your viewing pleasure! These capri-length wool pocket pants are sure to make your baby the cutest one in wool pants.

On an unrelated note, I must add that I have been loving the All-in-One diaper I got from Lil'Bees! I have longed avoided AIOs because I don't like diapers that take three additional cycles in the drier to finish drying. But her diapers use microfiber as the soaker pads, and they dry in the same amount of time as my quick-dry fitteds. And the fit is great too!

Good Nights Deluxe Nighttime Fitted Diaper

My little one is a heavy nighttime wetter, and after many mornings of soaked clothing and bedding I got tired of it. Finally I developed this diaper!

It has 5 layers of microfiber (3 is enough for a typical AIO), and also has a microfleece liner to keep the little one dry all night. The doubler is sewn across the back, so the diaper is all one piece and easy to use; but the doubler is free in front, so it comes loose to get clean in the wash and dry quickly.


I recommend pairing this diaper with a wool cover for ultimate leak protection.

Stocked some cute pre-folds and wipes.

I found some rare time with my sewing machine the other day and did up some really cute pre-folds with some fabric I had in my craft closet.  After doing a dozen for my little guy, I decided to do some up for my shop.

I also did some matching cross back tops for some of 

the girly ones and some matching wipes, backed with Bamboo & Organic Cotton Velour.

stocking store with new colors next week!

I just wanted to mention that late next week I will have as my featured items diapers in NEW colors, to get you in that springtime mood... I know I'm feeling Spring, and sewing with my muted, albeit lovely, winter colors is sort of a drag.

It's about new things. Bright, light, fresh!

So, what color speaks Springtime to you?

Color!

Hi! I am Deann. I'm new here, and here's my Etsy store. You can read more about me at my Blog.

I decided to get creative with a bunch of prefolds I had sitting around but never used. I like the few I kept so much I may use prefolds more often now! I just listed the rest on Etsy. Enjoy!

Earth Day is coming up soon!

Hi, I'm new. Not new to cloth diapering (or to blogging, I'm actually a bit of an addict!), but I AM new to both Etsy and Blogger. So, here's a little bit more about me (see below).

I taught myself to sew when I was 5, and to knit when I was 12. I started making my own clothes around that time too. My crafting pursuits have spanned from origami to spinning (yes, like with a spinning wheel and drop spindle) to soap making. But I always seemed to come back to sewing.

I started cloth diapering when my first child was 12 months old, and the second child wore homemade diapers from birth. Now, those days of watching prefolds blowing in the breeze seem like a faraway memory. Of course, with my little one turning 3 in a month, 'baby-fever' is certainly in the air here in sunny Florida.

So, that's my intro.
Now, let me tell you about my Etsy store!

I'm selling diaper covers made from Malden Mills fleece and finished with snaps. This is the same design I developed for my kids after trying out a few different styles of cloth diapers.

What I really love about these is how simple they are. Plus, they dry almost instantly. Seriously, coming out of the washing machine, they are practically ready to use. And when you are busy with older children and an active baby, the last thing you want is to wait around for your favorite cover to dry.

Well my kids are clamoring to play a computer game =) so I'm going to call it a day. But remember to stop by and check out discounts/free items later this week for the Earth Day sale. I THINK I will post a few B1 G1 sales, which is sort of a humungeously good deal if you think about it.

Ciao, mamas!
