Fleece Covers New in Shop

So yesterday I missed my deadline of putting something new into the shop. But I will say that I did have THREE items ready to list it was just that it was 11 o'clock at night and wasn't great picture weather.

I have two new side snapping fleece diaper covers. These are great for putting over a fitted or prefolds cloth diaper or for adding over your toddler's underwear during potty training! For great nighttime protection, add a pair of fleece shorties or longies over a regular AIO cloth diaper. I love my fleece covers but did not like the bulk around the thighs and waist for the fleece bands. Also, I didn't like trying to get a pull-up cover onto a baby or off a wet baby or toddler. You know how sometimes you have those conversations with yourself about something you'd like and then you even look around for that something...and then you realize that you could just make it yourself?? Yeah, so that's how these fleece covers came about. I love them...and so does the farmer! Dad approved...can't beat that!  :)




I will also be listing my first notetaker/mommy organizer in my etsy shop. And I have more that are in the works to be put into the shop - both covers and notetakers!

Slow but steady stash bustin'

I wanted to set a new goal for myself of adding one new item to my etsy shop daily. But then I did realize that since I already tend to over extend myself, my goal will be to add one new item every OTHER day. This will also help with slowly getting rid of the obscene amount of fabric I seem to have. And yes, my other goal is to not buy any fabric until half my fabric stash is gone. Which is alot. If I don't start sewing I may be having fabric withdrawal soon!

So I've listed a couple things in the past couple of days.




I've found that the easiest way to get things done is to cut multiple things at once. I made a bib and sleep sack for a baby shower gift but cut out four bibs and three sleep sacks. I have two more of fleece covers/soakers of that fabric cut out and ready to finish up.

I also choose every other day because I'm trying to get some clothes done for my daughter before school starts and I want to get curtains done for all three bedrooms. And I still have lots and lots and lots of canning and freezing to do yet this fall.
