The Blog is Back!! All about DIAPERS!!!

Hey everyone, it's been quite some time since this blogger has posted.....

Many of you have been asking about a future (or past....heehee, you weren't invited!!) baby shower. After thinking long and hard about the best time, we've decided that we want you to know the baby's name/sex/size before you buy anything (else....heehee). Therefore, we'd like the baby shower after the baby is born.

WE'LL BE CLOTH DIAPERING AS LONG AS WE HAVE THE PATIENCE...

As some of you know, Marisa has been sewing/serging cloth diapers for the little one. She decided to start with some free patterns and intended to buy a pattern or two once she got going. After finishing a few, though, she found she could easily alter it herself. If you need help with one at any point, Marisa can help you. Her diapers have been tested and approved by Nicolas Carson.

For those of you who have been out of the diapering update-loop/cloth diapering-loop, this is called a "fitted pocket diaper". It's a 4-layer+soaker piece of clothing. The outer layer is made from Birdseye diapering fabric (a 100% cotton more-absorbent-over-time/washes-fabric). Two layers of old 100% cotton tee shirts make the inner. The surface touching the baby is fleece or microfleece. It has 4-8 layers of tee shirt/flannel/other 100% cotton "soaker" in the pocket. This pocket enables the user to fit the diaper for short use versus overnight or long use by placing a 4 or 8-layer soaker in the pocket. It's also nice, 'cause you can wash and dry the diaper and soaker separately, which cuts down on drying time. I guess I should have prefaced this all by saying, "I've heard..."





Alright, so 070707 now, and I've finished the stash-60diapers/137wipes/63soakers/7covers as much as they'll be finished.....



Smaller wipes that will fit a normal wipe container/warmer and bigger ones for everything else...

The STASH!!
