Itty Bitty Diapers! So Cute!! And a Give Away!!

Comments Closed! I will pick 2 winners later today and post!!

Sunday my SIL and her family welcomed baby Mason into the world! He was born weighing about 6 lbs 9 oz and 18"! Reminds me of when Tristan was just a bitty babe!

I would love to convert her over to cloth, so I am sending her a few diapers to hopefully sway her! The cutest, oh so tiny!! They may be a little too small for him, so I think I will make up a few smaller NB and some regular ones too.

These are all preemie diapers that I made this week. Aren't they the cutest? Working on customizing some, hope to have it perfected very soon. Three of the tiniest little diapers all with Babyville Boutique pul fabric!! The monster one even has the little tag and matching engraved snaps. I just love sewing these up!

Owl Diaper-Did this one first, but decided after it was completed I really don't like to topstitch the legs.

Monster Diaper-Turned and topstitched with rolled in pul at the legs.

Monkey Diaper-My favorite! Customized this one a little, but I will tell you more when the Babyville site goes live!

Oh and did you know my local Joann's has started getting in the Babyville Boutique line. They had it all in the back when I stopped by the other day, but I stopped by the cutting counter to ask about it. One of my favorite ladies was working and she said that she did remember seeing it and went back to search for the monkeys pul I had requested. She reappeared in just a minute or two with a bolt of monkeys!! Oh so cute, still in it's plastic wrapping!! I got the very first cut!!

So most stores will be putting the line up in the next week or so, I think Sept. 18 is the official date.

But wouldn't it be nice if you could have some before then???

Leave me a comment below telling me why you need some Babyville Boutique monkey pul and I will select 2 winners at random to each receive a diaper cut(20x20) of this sweet material! I will keep comments open until midnight this Sunday, Sept 11. Please make sure when you post to include your email address so I will not have a problem getting a hold of you if you win!

Good Luck and Happy Sewing!!

Countdown! 9 Days to Go!!

Oh I can't believe my baby boy will be 1 in just 9 days!! I am not prepared for my last little one having a birthday already!! Seems like just yesterday we were rushing to the hospital, only to wait all day and then end up with an emergency csection. This last baby boy has been nothing if not challenging right from the start!!

My other 3 were all such wonderful birth stories, this one not so much, but oh the end result!! Doesn't matter how they get here right? just as long as they arrive happy and healthy!

I will never forget them bringing him in the next morning and placing this little tiny ball, all 5 lbs of him in my arms! He was so tiny, my husband and I weren't sure what to do with him or how to hold him without breaking him!

I think I am going to cry! "1" is such a big number and yet it's not! Hoping to get in a little sewing this week for baby boys big day. I am thinking a Seuss birthday party!!

Here is a new diaper that I finished this past week. It is a PUL diaper made using scrappy pieces. I promise to show a tutorial once I get settled again!





Oh yes, forgot that part! I am in the middle of remodeling our whole 1st floor, so the sewing room is a little broken down at the moment! I will show you just how broken down!! Oh and I have just a "little bit" of fabric thrown in the living room! Hows that for fabric hoarding!!! But oh the new floors!! They are worth everything that "I" have put into them! Thats right this little red hen has done every board right by herself!! Who says women can't do everything??

Everything all ripped out, padding going down!

My fabric! Waiting for me I guess to reorganize everything back into my studio! Yikes!

My new floors!! Love these!!

Now off to organize!!

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!
