lumberjacksgurl Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 So as some of you know, I switched Ben to cloth diapers and then because of a lack of local resources I started to make my own for him. From there I have developed a small business for the sake of the writeoffs to help offset my taxation hell from my disability. I have been shipping diapers all over North America of late, MA, CA, KY, QUE, BC....and have orders in the wings for NJ and TX. I have been enjoying the process of developing my pattern and subsequent supporting product line. I now have diapers, bamboo liners and doublers, change pads, cloth wipes, dryer balls and butt wash. I am working on my own laundry detergent right now..all eco friendly. It feels good to be doing "something" and learning more, and changing our house over to a more green routine. Fabrics are my new outlet for my shopping...errrehmm...."problem" and I now have wholesale accounts with a few manufacturers. The most fun is "converting" a sposie using young mom! I did a craft fair last wknd and converted three young ladies who now say they will not use a pamper again! I have another fair this next wknd so it will soon be back down to the sewing room to "get busy" I still drop in and read...and I DO shop for minis...especially now that all of the Christmas stuff is out...the Westy is still going to be my Christmas house!! (maybe next Christmas tho :lol: ) Here is one cute girl set I did...NOT the flats and pins that so many of you used! These need no pins, covers or wraps! As easy to use as a disposable :yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sommerstern7 Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 These are the prettiest I have ever seen! Wow! I am in the process of potty training--he laughs at me when I try to get him to use the "big boy potty" though-- otherwise I too would be converted from being a sposie mom. I am hoping this whole diaper thing comes to an end very soon :yes: . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumberjacksgurl Posted November 23, 2008 Author Share Posted November 23, 2008 Thanks ladies :yes: I have just finished a bunch more for today in raspberry, magenta, celery and kelly green for some US orders!

havanaholly Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 My babybutt days are long over, thank God!!! But those are cute, and I would very much have liked Miss Grayson to have worn cloth nappies, and wish the same for Baby Boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katethesape Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Too cute! My mom used cloth diapers (She said they just looked so cute on the clothesline), and I want to use them...when I have little ones. This is way cool, congrats on the business!!

chesterfieldzoo Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I bet this all keeps you very busy and more in the future as this catches on more and more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minis On The Edge Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Michelle, I wish you much success! I used cloth diapers on my son and only sometimes on my daughters. I must say, yours look so much easier to use. I have a couple of friends expecting soon so I may have to get some of these cause they just look perfect and I know they help with diaper rash and all. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
