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!

Itty Bitty Pocket Diapers...

Newborn stuff is always so fun to sew! This rainbow of pockets are newborn/small size, side-snapping diapers. They are lined with super soft microfleece to keep baby's bottom feeling nice and dry. Each one has a thirsty contoured bamboo insert to give this diaper a nice trim fit! This pattern fit my little girl from newborn (she was just over 6 pounds) until she was a chunky 5 month old.

Colors: (clockwise from the top) Latte (Light Brown with tan snaps), Candy Pink with pink snaps, Lime Green with lime snaps, Periwinkle with periwinkle snaps, Lady Bug (Red with Black snaps), Mocha (Chocolate with tan snaps), and Celery with ivory snaps

Fantastic Summer Fleece...

Some new super cute custom shorties and sets for this summer for a great mama! All these fleece shorties have lightly elasticized waists and a diaper hammock.

I really love how these rainbow shorties came out...complete with fluffy minky clouds! Yum!

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*

Baby Gift Set...

I was asked to come up with a gift set for a cloth diapering mama. I enjoyed this project as I would have loved some cloth diaper friendly gifts when my second baby came around. I stuck to fun and funky earthy colors as the gender of baby is a surprise.
This set consists of 1 small basic wetbag, 1 change pad - cotton backed and bamboo topped with hidden layer of PUL, 1 small side snapping pocket diaper with a 4 layer bamboo insert, and 3 small bamboo terry/bamboo velour wipe-ups. This gift set could easily be switched up for a non-cloth using mama as well. Switch the wipe-ups and diaper out for a bib and burp cloth. I think a wetbag would be loved by both cloth and non-cloth mamas. Soiled clothing, messy burp cloths and dirty bibs can really muck up a diaper bag!

Recent Ditto Daddy Trainers...

I had a request for some Ditto Daddy Girl Trainers with a hidden layer of PUL. The PUL took away some of the stretch the knit offers so the sizing needed to be adjusted. So here are her two trainers along with two slightly smaller trainers that will be up for grabs on my instock page!
These have a cute cotton knit outer layer, hidden PUL layer, and are fully lined with with smooth, soft bamboo. They have a snap in soaker that consists of two layers of bamboo fleece topped with yummy bamboo velour!

Flipped inside out!

Back at it ...(with some Ditto Daddy Briefs)... after a Wonderful Easter break!

I am back in the sewing room after spending an extended Easter weekend relaxing with my family. While the break was nice, I am now trying to get caught up on orders! I think this is a good time to thank my customers for there wonderful patience. Each and every one of you have been a pleasure to work with! Thank You!

I have a few custom orders for trainers on the go right now which I am hoping to have all complete very very soon! Here is the first complete order...

Two pair of fleece and two pair of cotton Ditto Daddy Boy Briefs. Each trainer comes with one snap-in insert made from wonderful Bamboo fabrics. Two of the inserts are backed with PUL for added water resistance with the cotton trainers. My improved inserts have stitching down the center that create channels to help keep the liquid on the insert where it belongs!
Here are the two fleece pair with their inserts.
And the two cotton knit pair. "On the Go" is a jersey knit and the "Tree Frogs" is a rib knit.
