Babyville Boutique is 1 Year Old and to celebrate, we want to give one lucky reader of All About Cloth Diapers a special gift of products for sewing diapers and other baby items from these adorable fabrics and matching accessories!
We have been busy this past year and enjoyed seeing the many posts and pictures on our facebook page. Not only that, we have been developing new products that are now arriving in major fabric stores and independents nationwide.
Additionally, we are delighted that our original line of Babyville products will be available to more and more moms now in select Wal-Mart stores.
“Cowbaby” and “Robots” are brightly colored prints that will appeal to little cowboys and cowgirls alike. “Sassy Cheetah” and “Sassy Dots” are just right for the fashionable babies and their moms that love perky, cheerful animal motifs.
Babyville Boutique now has a Stay Dry Wicking Fabric sold by the yard, a perfect lining fabric to use with diapers and other projects that call for an athletic wicking fabric. Diaper wearing babies may not appreciate the charm of the new diaper pins, however their moms will smile at the cute animal heads on these pins.
Best of all, we now have three new patterns, the Ultimate Pocket Diaper, Simply Soakers, and Totally Trainers, designed by an accomplished diaper making mom, only available exclusively through Babyville Boutique.
Additionally, two new books, 51 Babyville Boutique Projects and 51 PUL Projects are packed with clever, fun and functional, projects that are quick and easy. From backpacks and rainhats, to doggie coats and storage containers, Babyville Boutique products can be used for so many more projects beyond diapers.
Be sure to enter below for your chance to win this great assortment of diaper making products, books, and accessories.
Babyville Boutique blog is FULL of valuable information!! Check out the tutorials they have! I’m very impressed.
If you’d like to learn more information about the launch of Babyville Boutique check out the post written last year called Cloth Diaper Kits Coming to JoAnns, Walmart and Hobby Lobby.
This venture has been such a blessing to the cloth diaper community. More exposure to the ease of entering into the cloth diapering world is always a good thing.
I am beyond impressed with the success and growth Babyville Boutique has had in its first year. Congratulations, Babyville Boutique, and Happy Birthday!

I’ve never tried making a cloth diaper myself! I have had my mother and friends make them for me! I would love to learn how to do it and give it a whirl though!
October 15, 2012 at 1:20 am
I have been wanting to make my own diapers for a while now, just haven’t made the jump to actually get the supplies. I can’t wait to actually try it though, there are so many cute patterns I want to try!
October 14, 2012 at 10:11 pm
Ive never made a cloth diaper but it’s one of my next projects. This would help so much as I have twins to put diapers on! Thanks for the giveaway!
October 14, 2012 at 9:16 pm
I have never, but I’d like to try.
October 14, 2012 at 5:33 pm
I actually made a flannel lined pocket diaper with joann’s PUL (about 2 years ago). It worked well until the PUL delaminated. I cannibalized it for elastic recently. I had made a wetbag with the same PUL and it also delaminated after only a couple of washes with my regular diaper laundry. The babyville supplies seem better than the stuff I had gotten a couple of years ago.
October 14, 2012 at 4:53 pm
I never have but I’d like to try!
October 14, 2012 at 2:55 pm
I tried making diapers a couple years ago before my niece was born, but couldn’t finish them because I couldn’t find any PUL for them.
October 14, 2012 at 11:24 am
Nope, never.
October 14, 2012 at 11:22 am
I turned my prefolds into fitteds using FOE. Works great!!
October 14, 2012 at 11:14 am
I have made a couple but still haven’t found the perfect design
October 14, 2012 at 10:15 am
I have made a bunch of pocket diapers, fitted diapers, inserts, and pail liners. Probably make up more than half my stash. They are amongst my favorites.
October 14, 2012 at 7:08 am
I have made a few cloth diapers. I found free patterns online, and make a t-wing diaper out of some old t-shirts, I actually have a plastic tub at work I am working on making cloth diapers when im on my lunch break!
October 13, 2012 at 10:56 pm
No but I would love to give it a try!
October 13, 2012 at 10:38 pm
I made a few before. They worked but could have been better;-)
October 13, 2012 at 10:37 pm
I make diaper covers for my grand daughter. I have made about 15 diapers, a wet bag, a changing pad and wipe cover. Going to start the diaper inserts in the next couple of weeks.
October 13, 2012 at 10:36 pm
I haven’t ever made a cloth diaper. My mom is an excellent seamstress, so I’d probably have her help me if I were to make a diaper.
October 13, 2012 at 9:31 pm
I have never made a cloth diaper but I would love to try!
October 13, 2012 at 8:39 pm
I made a Rita’s Rump pocket. It turned out really nicely, but the pinning was not my favorite, and neither was stuffing and unstuffing the pocket. I am not a huge pocket diaper fan.
October 13, 2012 at 8:36 pm
I’ve never made one.
October 13, 2012 at 7:06 pm
I’ve made several diapers with the Babyville PUL. Love it! Adorable prints & quality material that holds in leaks!
October 13, 2012 at 6:19 pm
I made a babyville diaper for my littlest one. I love the blue polka dot FOE,it is adorable and the bright pink PUL makes me smile. I used an online pattern and added a cute ruffle on the bum. I was a bit disappointed in the velcro fraying, I hope there are updates in the future or I may opt to buy aplix or touch tape online
October 13, 2012 at 5:28 pm
I have not tried, not really talented enough! But my best friend and mother in law are super good with that sort of thing and I know would love to give it a whirl!!
October 13, 2012 at 3:59 pm
I’ve made a couple test diapers, but would love to try the supplies!
October 13, 2012 at 3:39 pm
I’ve made LOTS of cloth diapers, and I love using Babyville products!
October 13, 2012 at 3:38 pm
I’ve made cloth diapers, and love using Babyville products
October 13, 2012 at 3:25 pm
No…never made cloth diapers before. I’m not that crafty.
October 13, 2012 at 3:19 pm
I’ve made many of my grandson’s cloth diapers using Babyville PUL and snaps. I’ve been really pleased with them. I like the fit of the pattern and the instructions are very easy to follow.
October 13, 2012 at 2:35 pm
I’ve never made one but would like to try
October 13, 2012 at 2:28 pm
I’m an experienced diaper sewer and love almost all Babyville products I’ve tried. The PUL sews like butter- such an improvement, especially when doing a project like a wetbag that you sew right sides together.
October 13, 2012 at 2:05 pm
I make Babyville diapers all the time, and I love it! My cute four month old is exclusively cloth diapered, and I’ve made all of the diapers she wears regularly.
October 13, 2012 at 1:43 pm
I have made several at first they were ok by now I got the hang of it and love babyville! But can’t wait to try the new prints!
October 13, 2012 at 1:24 pm
I love using Babyville products to make diapers for my son.
October 13, 2012 at 12:54 pm
I have made 3 diapers and I loved them! They came out great and I would love to be able to make more.
October 13, 2012 at 11:49 am
I have never made a diaper but would like to try…the prefolds I got from wal-mart are getting too small for my 7 month old…the covers are still good, but am running out of inserts that fit.
October 13, 2012 at 11:07 am
No, I’m not THAT ambitious!
October 13, 2012 at 11:05 am
I would love to win, making cloth diapers has saved me so much.
October 13, 2012 at 11:02 am
I’ve never made a diaper. I probably could do it since I sew okay.
October 13, 2012 at 10:53 am
Never! But I’ve always wanted to!
October 13, 2012 at 10:42 am
I made a newborn stash of pockets but then never moved on to larger sizes because at the time, getting materials was so challenging. Now that #2 is on the way, I’d love to try again with Babyville products
October 13, 2012 at 10:26 am
I made my newborn stash, but now I have to start the next size up. I’d love to win some supplies to cut down my costs!
October 13, 2012 at 10:03 am
I just made some cloth inserts last week for g.diapers. They turned out okay but I was happy since they’re just inserts. I’d love to make some training panties for my oldest.
October 13, 2012 at 9:03 am
I have never made a cloth diaper, still need to work on the whole sewing hobby!
October 13, 2012 at 8:54 am
I have only knitted diapers and covers. They’ve turned out great so far. I would like to try sewing some of my own next.
October 13, 2012 at 6:20 am
I haven’t made any of their diapers but a friend has. She likes them and the prints are cute.
October 13, 2012 at 5:36 am
I have not made one yet for my daughter, but I have been thinking about learning. This would be great!
October 13, 2012 at 12:15 am
I helped make a diaper for Ella. It fits her rather well and stands up to her heavy wetting.
October 12, 2012 at 8:53 pm
I made a set of fleece training pants… they came out ok but can use improvement
October 12, 2012 at 8:48 pm
Never made a cloth diaper. Would love to though!
October 12, 2012 at 8:23 pm
I haven’t yet! But I would love to!
October 12, 2012 at 7:55 pm
When I was cloth diapering my last baby, I tried making pocket diapers years ago from prepackaged kits I bought online but they didn’t turn out very well. I got very excited when I saw the Babyville line at JoAnn and picked up some supplies to give diaper sewing another shot. I can only get better if I keep trying, right? I’d love to win this so I can have more supplies to practice with. I just started trying to look up methods to make my own diapers since my newborn just used up nearly the last of the disposables we were given as gifts and my hubby doesn’t get paid for another week. I have some cloth diapering supplies but life would be a whole lot easier if we had a few more covers and several more newborn size diapers. Thanks for offering this giveaway.
October 12, 2012 at 6:31 pm
I’ve made a bunch of fitteds from birdseye. I’ve used two different patterns and I went and modified the second one. I have also made pull on covers from wool, fleece and PUL with mixed success. I hope I win! I was eying these products and wondering if they were any good.
October 12, 2012 at 6:08 pm
I’m new to sewing and have never made a cloth diaper.
October 12, 2012 at 6:06 pm
I have never made a cloth diaper, but I have looked at ways to do it by up-cycling clothing. I am very interested in making my own diapers!
October 12, 2012 at 4:52 pm
haven’t made one yet!
October 12, 2012 at 4:22 pm
I’ve been wanting to start making my own, but the supplies are a little bit too spendy so I’ve been collecting one piece at a time. This giveaway would be PERFECT for me.
October 12, 2012 at 4:21 pm
I have not made a cloth diaper but I love to sew and I would love to give it a try
October 12, 2012 at 2:48 pm
no never in my life try to make one but do use cloth diaper .
October 12, 2012 at 2:46 pm
no never try making one but do use them and love them
October 12, 2012 at 2:10 pm
I made 1 so far it is ok, I’m in the middle of another one, but I need more elastic.
October 12, 2012 at 1:22 pm
I have and I plan to make more. I made a one size pocket for my boys. I also mad a newborn cover for the new baby. I love them both and plan to make more if I can find the time.
October 12, 2012 at 12:21 pm
i have made several diapers and they have turned out pretty good! i am currently making a newborn stash for my new baby that will be born soon!
October 12, 2012 at 12:10 pm
No I can not sew at all
October 12, 2012 at 10:26 am
I’ve never made one. I’m not sure if I’d use this if I won (although I might) or if I’d donate it to Cloth for a Cause! Either way, though, it would definitely be put to use.
October 12, 2012 at 10:16 am
I’ve never tried one because it’s too intimidating for a limited skills sewer like myself!
October 12, 2012 at 10:00 am
No, I’ve never made a cloth diaper. I have no idea how to start making it
October 12, 2012 at 9:38 am
I have altered diapers and made fleece soakers, but have never made a whole diaper from scratch! I’m working my way up lol!
October 12, 2012 at 9:11 am
I have not! But my mom made my wedding dress, so I bet we can be handy enough together to get a few diapers put together!
October 12, 2012 at 9:10 am
I make and sell them!
October 12, 2012 at 8:50 am
I have never made diapers. Would love to though. I did make my wipes, but that’s as far as I’ve got.
October 12, 2012 at 8:02 am
Yeah, I made some hemp/bamboo prefolds. It was really fun and made me feel all crafty and such.
It was my first time using a sewing machine, though so they were far from perfect. Good practice though!
October 12, 2012 at 8:02 am
never made a diaper, but i would be willing to try
October 12, 2012 at 6:47 am

October 12, 2012 at 12:05 am
I haven’t made one yet, but as soon as I get some inspiration I’m going to.
October 11, 2012 at 11:54 pm
not yet, but a sewing machine is on my wishlist, and diapers would be on my to make list
October 11, 2012 at 10:55 pm
I have several patterns and haven’t yet ventured into making them but plan to within the next week!
October 11, 2012 at 10:40 pm
Nope, never
October 11, 2012 at 10:32 pm
I have made upcycled t-shirt cloth diapers for my daughter and actually LOVE them.
October 11, 2012 at 10:13 pm
I haven’t made one, but would love to try!
October 11, 2012 at 9:19 pm
Yes! I started making cloth diapers for my daughter and have even started selling some. I am working on perfecting my pattern
October 11, 2012 at 8:51 pm
I love babyville PUL, excited about the athletic wicking fabric!!
October 11, 2012 at 8:28 pm
My friend Katie makes the best pocket diapers from the Babyville PUL!!! I’ve made loads of sleeved bibs for my little guy and it’s a God-send!!!
October 11, 2012 at 8:29 pm
She’s actually giving classes in NH if anyone wants to jump on make your own diaper bandwagon!!!
October 11, 2012 at 8:17 pm
No way! I am so not talented enough!
October 11, 2012 at 8:03 pm
I never had but my mom made some for me. They weren’t the greatest but at least she try to help me out!
October 11, 2012 at 7:13 pm
Yep I have and they came out ok considering I didn’t know how to sew before I started! LOL I prefer sticking to up-cycled woolies though – they are much easier!
October 11, 2012 at 7:13 pm
Nope! never made my own dipe!
October 11, 2012 at 3:41 pm
I have made several different kinds. I have made prefolds, but they don’t seem to be absorbent enough by themselves. I have made fitted diapers to use with covers and my daughter really likes these for her baby. I have also made the covers and she loves those as well. She wants me to make a lot more!
October 11, 2012 at 3:33 pm
I have not made a cloth diaper yet, but I did use Babyville fabrics to make changing pads for my little guy!
October 11, 2012 at 3:25 pm
No I haven’t
October 11, 2012 at 3:04 pm
I have not yet but I recently was taking sewing classes so I would love to try it out.
October 11, 2012 at 3:03 pm
What a great giveaway! Ive had their book on my Amazon wish list for months!
October 11, 2012 at 2:30 pm
Never made a diaper, but I have made a lot of wetbags!
October 11, 2012 at 2:30 pm
I make all our diapers, have tried Babyville products..!. Would live to win some
October 11, 2012 at 2:28 pm
I’ve made a fitted diaper out of a t-shirt. I’m a little nervous about making a cover but every time I see the Babyville products in the fabric store I have to stop to look!
October 11, 2012 at 2:23 pm
I have never made one. I’m tempted, but so not brave enough!
October 11, 2012 at 2:10 pm
I’ve made lots of fitteds and prefolds. I’d love to try some pockets and covers!
October 11, 2012 at 2:07 pm
I haven’t, but I’m planning to before my little one’s birth.
October 11, 2012 at 2:02 pm
I’ve never made one, but I’ve been thinking about it. I ust ot a new sewing machine, and who knows, maybe they would work!
October 11, 2012 at 1:45 pm
Yes. I’ve made a fleece soaker and one pair of training pants. Both turned out cute and functional, win win.
