Diapers, diapers everywhere!

Sunday night I finished up some diapers I made for a trade with the wonderful mom who runs Biltmore Baby! She sent me some adorable fabric for the outers, as well as some hemp for the inners and organic velour to top the soaker pieces. YUM! If you've never played with it, OV is SO luscious and soft!! All the diakers have a cotton print outer, internal hemp, velour inner, and a hemp soaker topped with organic velour (except the tan inner - which is velour topped).

Six of these diapers are from the Fattycakes pattern, in size medium. The other diaper is from a pattern of my own I'm working on.

Haven't done this in a while...

Time for stash pics again! All the diapers but one are clean, so why not, right? ;) The stash has gotten so much smaller since I last blogged it, about half the size it used to be!

First up are my fitted diapers. The left row and the ABC print diaper are ones I made from my own pattern. The two middle rows (except the striped diaper) are diapers I made from the Fattycakes pattern. The striped diaper is a First Class Baby. The right row is a Pattynaps (cow print) and a Hidden Pearl Creations.


Next up are my AIOs and pockets. On the left are two Dream-Eze AIOs and a medium Robin's Fanny Fluff fleece AIO. The other diapers are all GADs (Green Acre Designs). These are by far my favorite pocket. They are built well, fit great, and the business is run by a wonderful WAHM! What more can you ask for?





We are currently using Pocket Change pockets for our night diapering system, but plan on switching back to fitteds and wool once I get some decent night-worthy diapers sewn up. These are a decent diaper, and fit forever, but aren't a favorite here.







These are our poor, neglected covers. We don't use these ones much anymore since we use wool covers at home, and use pocket diapers when we're out. We keep these on hand for times when the pockets are dirty and we've got to go out but don't want to use wool. There are two Bummis Super Whisper Wraps, and one Bumkins cover.





Last but not least... All our wool! We have two pair of knit longies (blue and camo pairs, knit by me), a pair of recycled longies, two pair of shorts (blue/green pair and orange/brown pair both knit by me), and a camo colored soaker knit by me. Our "night wool" consists of a babyology soaker, babyology longies and an aristocrat soaker.





Not pictured are the prefolds, as well as one of the Pocket Change diapers.

Good weekend for FO's!

I've had a rather productive weekend here! Hooray! First up, I finished knitting a hat that was supposed to be for Kaiden. It's the LTK Bucket Hat, knit in toddler size. Unfortunately, it came out large enough to fit Nate! It was knit in lime green Sugar and Cream cotton yarn. Aside from being really huge, it came out pretty nicely. It was my first time knitting with cotton, and I must say, I actually like the feel of it in my hands.

On Friday I received my order of Solarveil from a co-op. I ordered blue and turquoise, with plans on making a Mei Tai carrier, as well as two pouches - one for me and one for Nate. I'm pretty sure I'll have extra left, though I'm not sure what I'll be making with it yet. Saturday evening I got to work making the Mei Tai. It's is reversible, with blue on one side and turquoise on the other. I made this using a faux BBO pattern, and I LOVE how it came out. I hadn't used this pattern yet, and I'm really liking how it fits. The straps are wide, but not as huge as the ones on my BMT. Very, very comfy!

Tonight I finally got around to making Kaiden another diaper. I'm still tweaking the design a bit, but I'm getting closer! Ignore the sewing mistakes in this one - it was late and the sewing machine wasn't cooperating! It is made from the Fattycakes pattern, and is a side snapping fitted diaper. The body contains an outer layer of cotton woven, inner layer of velour, and a hidden body layer of hemp terry with an additional 3 layers of hemp in the soaker. The snap in soaker consists of two layers of hemp topped in velour. Very soft, and pretty trim considering all the layers!
