Lots of fleece and a lonely pair of Ditto Daddy Boxer Briefs...
I am wading through a pile of things I have cut and ready to sew! This week was a 'fleecey' kind of week...
First up is a custom order for a very sweet and patient mama! She needed a couple options for her little man for sleeping. She has tried one of the cotton boxer briefs for naps and decided to get one more since they are working well.
Ditto Daddy Boxer Briefs in "Construction" print cotton!
She also wanted something with a lot more absorbency and protection for overnight. She decided to try a Dry Nights Ditto Daddy Boxer with a Beefed-Up insert. Here they are, in all steel-blue fleece. I hope they work well for you!
The rest of my Dry Nights Ditto Daddy Boxer for Girls order is now complete and have found their new home. Word has it there is a very happy 3 1/2 year old little girl that loves her new "Jammies".
Dry Nights Ditto Daddy Boxer for Girls in pink camo.
Dry Nights Ditto Daddy Boxer for Girls all in stripes.
This little fleece soaker turned out very cute! It is a size medium done in light pink with chocolate brown trim and an adorable cupcake on the bum.
These 4 coordinating soakers are all specially sized. These are half way between my Medium and Large sizes and it a wonderful fit.

This week's labours...
This week we returned from a beautiful weekend camping and prepared for a wonderfully fun 3rd birthday party for my sweet Tool Boy. But I did manage to squeeze in a few orders.
First up are 8 Bum Genius All-In-Ones and 1 Bum Genius One Size that were in need of a little TLC. Their tired velcro was replaced with some great snaps! I had lots if fun putting together some cute snap color combonations on these diapers.
This is an All Day size wetbag and zippered wipes pouch created for a sweet mama for daycare use.

This is an All Day size wetbag and zippered wipes pouch created for a sweet mama for daycare use.I created a couple sets of tester inserts for G-diapers. These 3 inserts each have a different combination: Microfleece/microfiber/hemp, Microfleece/Zorb/hemp, bamboo fleece/bamboo fleece/bamboo velour.
I also started to create a wool-in-one for my little girl to use for nighttime. I used a nice thick sweater for the outer layer and a soft thinner merino wool sweater for the inner layer to combine for a bullet proof night solution. The only problem is, Tool Boy got ahold of it before I could finish it up and decided that it shoud be his. So the snap-in bamboo insert has been left out and it is now a wool snap wrap for my son. I will have to find a pick sweater to make one for Little Miss as Tool Boy will not let pink near him!

Recycled Wool and PUL Diaper Covers
The first three pictures are all wares made from the same pink wool sweater. I have a little more left and will add a picture when complete!

Some recycled wool and some Ditto Daddy Trainers...
I have done several recycled wool projects lately, which I love to do so much! There is something so satisfying about 'saving' a sweater from the wasteland and creating cute wears that have real function for our little ones. I have several more of these currently on the go, but here are the ones I have now completed.
These medium flared bottom woolies are so cute with a leather trim along the bottom. I have some adorable wool and leather slippers on the go to match these!
Bright blue longies and orange with charcoal waistband. These have nice high rises!
These are done from a Patagonia sweater - thick, warm, and bulletproof!
I love how these little rolled cuff shorties turned out. These are super soft!

Fleece and Wool in summer? Why of course!
I hear it all the time since I have started using cloth and sewing my wears... "Isn't it hot for your little ones to wear fleece and wool in the summer?" No way! It is cooler on their little tush then a 'sposie or a PUL pocket or PUL cover as well.
This was on The Diaper Pin a couple years ago and I found it quite interesting. I no longer have a link to the original post, but I had saved a copy and just wanted to share. A mom with a teen did this science experiment (Temperatures in Fahrenheit):
Cloth diaper Temperatures:
4 days in a row the afternoon temp reach almost 90*, each day we tried different diapering combos. Here are his results:
After 15 minutes outside, temp inside the diaper:
Disposables 102.5*
FuziBunz 101.5*
Fleece pocket 100*
fitted with fleece shorts 98.5*
pinned prefold with fleece shorts 97*
fitted with wool shorts 96*
pinned prefold with wool shorts 95.5*
just a fitted 95*
just a pinned prefold 94*

Some new customs...
I really enjoyed meeting and working with this mama! She has two wonderful babes that I was able to sew up some wears for!
I love how soft this 30" x 30" floor pad is. The perfect place for any babe to snuggle in and have some naked time! It is backed with a fashionable cotton print and topped with squishy sherpa. There is a hidden layer of PUL to make it waterproof and flannel to make it both absorbent and to give a little extra cushion.
What do you do when you still want to have some cute recycled wool for your toddler, but they are to tall to use the sleeves the conventional way? Well, you give them some piratical knee pads, of course! They will come in handy for all the time spent on the floor playing with cars. These are wool longies for a 3 year old boy. I added a three layer knee pad. These would also be great for crawlers!
Here are two pair of Ditto Daddy Boxer Briefs done in fleece for early potty training. The inserts are 4 layers of squishy bamboo backed with PUL for extra protection and topped with feel-dry microfleece.
This little recycled wool soaker is nightworthy! The soft, felted wool is nice and thick and has an extra layer in the wetzone for added protection.
These are four little pair of microfleece "underwear". They will put a full, stay-in-place, feel-dry layer between baby and a fitted diaper. Great for little ones that are extra sensitive to wetness, especially at night.

A helping hand...
Recently I made some ity, bity newborn covers for a young mama-to-be expecting twin baby boys in a few months! It is so wonderful to see young women choosing to use cloth diapers! Hooray! I imagine diapering twins will be a bit rough in the start, but oh boy, double the cute fluffy bums!! Oh, how sewing those tiny pieces puts thoughts of newborns back in my head!

Recent Customs...
I just finished up a few custom orders for a great Mama who is lots of fun to work with! These were fun to do - especially the train longies! Tool Boy has his eyes on those, I better get them in the mail quick!
First up is for a medium two-handle hanging wetbag/diaper pail. This has a Michael Miller "Dandy Damask" cotton print outer layer with chocolate brown PUL inside, sewn separately to prevent wicking, and topped with a coordinating beige zipper.
Next are two pair of fleece longies. Both pair feature my grow-with-me cuff. The contrasting cuff is flipped up and stitched in 4 places so it stays put. When your little one hits a growth spurt, the treads can be easily located and snipped to extend the length of the longies by 1 inch to 1.5 inches!
Xlarge Navy fleece longies with choo choo train and airplane embelishments.
Large pink with Candy Stripes and an embellished heart on the leg.

Last but not least, wool longie tights! These feature a sewn in diaper hammock and embellished hearts on the bum and leg.
