50 Weeks Old, Only 2 More to Go!!

I can't believe my baby boy will be 1 in just 2 short weeks. Where has the time gone? I decided to make a special set for him today to celebrate his 50 weeks and with his moods lately Monsters seemed appropriate!

I used the Babyville Boutique monster pul and the cutest little tags! One for his diaper and the other for the tee shirt. The diaper is pul outer, fleece hidden and wicking jersey inner, an ai2 with a lay in soaker, prefold of Bamboo fleece, so 6 layers and a topper of athletic wicking jersey and 2 layers of velour.

The tee is from this summer's Ottobre and features a big ole' Monster eyeball on the front that I drew, cut out and appliqued to the tee. He is a one eyed, really cute, crawling Green Monster Baby and I love him so much!!

2 More BB Diapers and Some Legs!!

Not sure if this technically qualifies as sewing, but I did add the ribbed band at the bottom!! I just couldn't resist these knee high socks at Joanns yesterday. The best part, it took all of 5 minutes to go from knee highs to babylegs! I even managed to use the bottom part and turn them into no show socks for my teenager!!


A couple of pictures of my monster diaper. Cute appliqued monster on the bum, turned and topstitched with snaps, pul outer, hidden fleece, athletic jersey wicking inner. The soaker is 6 layers of bamboo fleece topped with the athletic wicking jersey. Bullet proof!!


And one more diaper I finished today. Dino pul outer, wicking jersey inner, foe bound with hook/loop tape. I modified it a bit to be like the PPI diaper and added a flap soaker with 5 layers of bf underneath. So far so good!!



Now off to go sew so more!!

Babyville Boutique!! Diapers will never be the Same!

I am so excited to share with you all a new item being offered at a store near you soon! A wonderful diapering diva has put together a 60 page instruction/pattern book on how to cloth diaper and so much more!

Beautiful PUL prints and solids, matching tags and appliques, foe, snaps, hook/loop tape, oh so much more!!

I was lucky to be able to test some of the products and I am just amazed. The quality is really unlike any other I have sewn with before. And the prints, well see for yourself they are oh so cute!!

I have lots more pictures to take, but we were rainy yesterday and today is more of the same. Doesn't make for good pictures! Here is 1 set that I had time to photograph this morning before Tristan took his morning nap. I will share more in the coming days!

Oh and if you want to follow Babyville Boutique and see when it will hit a store near you here is the link to FB.

Snap It Up Baby Sack Gown Pattern

Finally My Pattern!

It has taken me about a year, but finally I have my "Snap It Up Sack Gown" in PDF form and ready to go! The first 20 flew out of my etsy shop this past week and I hope everyone who purchased one is having fun sewing!

The pattern includes the choice of vneck or roundneck, long sleeves or no sleeves and you can choose to mix and match fabrics to your hearts desire!! I LOVE mixing it up and don't think I have made a plain one yet!! If you aren't into sewing, well I still offer them in my zootzbaby shop. I have a whale one and a surfing one up in the shop right now. I should be adding more in the next month or so.

And while we are talking shop, I haven't said this, but if you ever see something on the blog that you would just love for me to sew up for your baby boy, please don't hesitate to contact me through one of my etsy shops. I love custom orders and enjoy working one on one with mommas!

Here are the 2 that are in my shop now:

And here are samples of ones that I have done in the past! You really can sew your own sack gown. They aren't difficult and once you get the hang of it, it sews up pretty fast!!

And there isn't a whole lot of things cuter than a newly bathed newborn in a sack gown and beanie!!
