Semi Custom Sale

I really need to downsize and update my stash of fabrics so I've been running a semi-custom sale at my shop on Hyena Cart. This allows you to choose your own size (from panty liner up to the 12.5" overnight size) and you can also add PUL if you like...this means I don't have to guess what I should make and you get some choice!

I'll be running this promo for a bit longer, when you check out use the discount code 'save10' to save 10% off you order.

Wait time is reasonable too, I've been sewing orders up as they come in and putting them in the mail within one week. Here's some pictures of a few semi custom orders that I shipped out

today...

I promised forever ago that I'd be adding a do-it-yourself postpartum pad tutorial and it's on it's way! I have all the pictures taken, I just need the time to sit down and type out the instructions....and time has been very short over the holidays with both the kids home from school. It's back to school next week though PHEW! So I'll have some un-interrupted computer time :)

Suedecloth is here!

I ordered some suedecloth to make some diapers for the new baby and also for my nephew... and maybe some postpartum pads for myself :) Suedecloth is a popular fabric for diaper making since it's soft and has great moisture wicking abilities, it's also great at resisting stains (always a bonus!!). I've added a couple of suedecloth pads to my Etsy shop, I really like this fabric for pads since it soft like Minky but a bit trimmer. It's a tricky fabric to photograph since it has a bit of a sheen to it, the colour on the left looks black but it's a deep purple, the other is a really nice cranberry red.

getting back to custom orders

I've just re-opened for custom orders, this was a fun order to do. Four pads topped with hand dyed bamboo velour (12.5" & 11") and one pad topped with cotton (11").

Socks for me

These socks took forever! I don't usually knit with such fine yarn (no patience!) but this yarn
was gifted to me and it was so pretty I was determined to knit these socks up.

It's a start....

I've been working on a stash of newborn diapers. I didn't start cloth diapering my son until he was three months old. He was premature so even at his 3 month weight of about 12lbs most the diapers I had were huge on him. This time around I'll be more prepared for the newborn stage.



These diapers have a snap down to let the cord heal; they are nice and adjustable so they should grow with baby from approx. 6lbs up to 14lbs.




















Here's some newborn AIO's (all in ones - no cover needed)

I'm still working on a turned and top stitched side snapping version, this is my first attempt.

An update for November

Here's a little preview of some pads I have cut and I hope to sew them this weekend, there's a few new fabrics so I'm excited to get them done. I'll remain closed to custom orders for most of November. Hopefully by the third week of November I'll have gotten most of my not-so-fun essay and teachers college application done, then I can focus on sewing again. Still check for me at Etsy and Dibble Dabble since I'll be doing the odd stocking.

I've got piles of things I want to get sewn up including lots of diapers for our baby girl who'll be arriving in March. I also have some fun ideas planned for my blog so keep checking back in. I'll get them posted in early December... I need to get them posted so these ideas will stop consuming my brain at 4:00 am!!

Snowing...

It's been snowing here for almost the whole day, the snow started as big soft flakes and has turned a little nasty with a cold icy wind. It has me feeling festive...even though Halloween hasn't come yet and we haven't even carved our pumpkins! Here's some cute flannel prints I picked up yesterday; they're so cheerful :)
