Why Cloth Trainers??

Cloth Indulgence Cloth Trainers Vs. Pull-ups

Let's face it, pull-ups are diapers!  They don't encourage your child to go in the potty.  They don't even look like regular undies.  Cloth Indulgence cloth trainers look & feel like regular undies.  They have no resemblance to a diaper & your child can choose their favorite prints to further encourage them.  They are not waterproof for a reason.  Your child should feel the ickiness of being wet for it to click that he needs to make it to the potty next time.  Using cloth trainers will help your child make this connection much faster & the extra absorbency saves you from having to deal with puddles on the floor!

Cloth Indulgence trainers have 2 layers of hemp fleece & a layer of snuggly soft bamboo velour through the wetzone.  Hemp fleece is extremely absorbent and better yet, it is an eco-friendly fabric! The body of the trainer is cotton & there is no elastic in the waist or leg bands.  By leaving out the elastic, I have assured that your child can easily pull these trainers up & down all by themselves.  THis gives them confidence and ease in potty learning.

$13 a pair!!  Here is a little cost comparison for a child that takes about 6 months to fully potty learn:

Pull-ups
$1 each x 5 (average) per day=$5
$5 x $180 days = $900


Cloth Indulgence Trainers
$13 x 12 (wash every other day)= $156


SAVINGS $744!!!!

Cost for the next child....ZERO!!!  My girls wore these until well after they were fully trained as regular undies. They loved them so much!

Weekend Fluff

Wow! I did so much sewing this weekend!

Candy Corn Bamboo Fitted for the Living Arts Halloween Stocking

Custom Trainers

A set of 18 Bamboo Velour/Bamboo Fleece Family Cloth Wipes

le Petit Liners for the Luna's Gate Stocking on the 27th

I will be leaving on Oct 1st for a trip to see family with the littlest munchkin, so I will be finishing up this weeks dozen or so trainers and I couple of diapers from my new design.  I won't have time for much else, but I will open customs up again when I get back on the 8th.  I will also be calling for some testers for my new waterproof trainers in the middle of October. 

It's a miracle...

...that I finished this coop! 94 trainers done!!  I have not been feeling well as of lately and I really have been struggling with sewing. I am happy to be finished and am very happy with how they all came out.  I am taking a little break for a few days and then I have some work to do on my diaper patterns, as I am doing some sizing adjustments and am working on the design of my front-snapping diaper.  I hope to be stocking again at the end of the month. I will also be guest stocking at Luna's Gate on May 27th for their storybook theme.

Summer Knitting and Custom Trainers

Now that the weather is absolutely beautiful here, I have been getting together some shorties for Jocelyn. She wasn't too keen on the idea of wearing shorts at first and kept trying to pull them down, but she has gotten used to it.

This first pair is Ellyl by Mosaic Moon on Mountain Meadow Ramboulliet. I really love the feel of this yarn. It is a bit smoother and softer than cestari, but it seems to be just as sturdy. It was really nice to knit with.

This one is Blackberry Fairy by Family Pendragon on Cestari Superfine.  I couldn't wait to knit these up.  I adore the colorway!

I actually finished this bolero a couple of weeks ago, but forgot to post pictures. So her it is! It is Selah's Caramel Heart on Corriedale.   I had to bribe my husband to take some pics for me.  If it looks like gorgeous weather, that is because it has been in the 70s and 80s :)

Thanks to the little ones actually playing nicely together in my sewing room, I was able to finish up this custom this morning.  They are for a really nice mama in Canada.  She requested that I put elastic in the waist for her daughter and here they are!

2 down, 2 to go!

I have been working so diligently and am about half way done with trainers from the trainer coop. Whew!  I haven't had much time to work on other things, but I do plan on stocking a custom trainer slot this week. Here are the first two batches.

 

 

I am stocking a new product this week. They are just small bits of fluff, but I have found them very useful in my own home.  I love them because they are so soft on my face and they put to use all of my pretty scraps that I hate to throw out! So, here are my new bamboo velour/sherpa cotton balls.

Some business....Some playtime

I have quite a number of trainers that I am making right now between customs and a coop that just closed...103 to be exact!! Holy batman! That is a lot of trainers!  In the midst of the huge trainer stocking, I am trying to get some diapers and maybe some mama cloth done for my regular stockings.  Thankfully, my miniature humans are being more cooperative during the day so I am not so exhausted at night when it is time to work. 

Here is the custom set that I just finished for a really sweet mama:

It has been in the 70's here, so the girls and I have been taking advantage and have been spending quite a bit of time at the park.  They love to play outside and I love that the house stays cleaner when we are gone for a majority of the day!

This week in sewing!

I have accomplished a lot this week and here is just a taste of all that I have done.   I was really not in the mood for picture taking, so I didn't take pictures of the diapers that I finished. Though, I have a few more to make for my stocking next Tuesday.

This is a custom pack of trainers:

Some pads that I have stocking on Tuesday:

Happy New Year!

I had planned to get a lot more accomplished for tomorrow's stocking, but my little ones are having one last sickness for the year! We are taking it easy today and hopefully they will start the New Year healthy :) I will be putting previews up later on tonight! Stocking will go live at 6 PM EST. Look for some cute trainers and diapers! I am also updating all of my knit print fabric selections for customs!

Customs...

I just finished this stuff this weekend. I am going to try to take a break from business sewing for the week to finish up some other projects that I have going on.  Mainly I am am working on an SMSS kimono and longies set for Jocelyn and my mom's Christmas present that is going to be more like a New Years present!  I also have a mei tei left to make for Jocelyn and I was going to make her some wool play food, but am seriously lacking the motivation to do that!

Owie Bags:

Some trainers for a trade:

and a custom diaper! I love this colorway!

Customs and some pretty colors!

I am all caught up on customs. They are always so much fun to do! These trainers were actually finished before my serger broke, but I am just getting the pictures up!



These diapers are even more beautiful in person! I love the simple look that this mama wanted. I hope she loves them, I know I do!



Yesterday, I dyed some beautiful bamboo velour and finished revising my mama cloth patterns Here is a taste of the results!
