All About Cloth Diapers

I adore writing reviews for products that have become my favorites. Erin, the brain behind Sustainablebabyish (sloomb) was very thoughtful to send me some of her new knits.  The new Sbish knit wool products have soared to the top of my favorites list for many reasons. But, my opinion can’t hold that much weight for [...]

Simple. That’s all we need.  Cloth diapering is complicated all too often. In this video, Leigh shows us how to cloth diaper with prefolds, PUL covers and a snappi.  I love her video editing!

In Part 1, I explained to you the different cloth diaper systems.  In Part 2, I will show you the different cloth diaper covers available. We’ve all heard of “plastic pants”.

You don’t?!  How could you not?!  Surely the leaves are starting to fall where you are. Temperatures below 100 degrees around here means wool season is fast approaching.  Most knitters’ custom lists are overflowing at this point.  Pretty much anyone who makes winter woolies of any kind (crochet, knit, interlock) are booked.  Good for them, [...]

Elizabeth of Spindle to Sashes briefly shows us how to sew a cloth diaper cover in this tutorial.  Although not highly detailed it provides us with a starting point. Spindletosashes.com offers more than a dozen instantly downloadable patterns from nursing covers to cloth diapers and covers to crib sheets. But, if you don’t need the [...]

I cannot believe my baby is 2 today!  It seems much more surreal with the 3rd than it did with the older 2.  Where did the time go? Throughout these two years I have gone through many many changes in Paisley’s cloth diaper stash.  Some of them necessitated by allergies or lifestyle changes, others out [...]

Two weeks ago I opened my front door to find a big square box from Bumkins. I was so excited that it had arrived and in a fancy box! It was like Christmas! I had agreed to give the Bumkins cloth diapering systems a try although I had made the assumption that they weren’t going [...]
