I’m sure most of you who read my blog know that I use cloth diapers. Jonah was my guinea pig as I experimented with everything available. I think that is the hardest part of cloth diapering– sifting through all the available options to figure out what works best. Sometime toward Jonah’s toddlerhood I settled on Mother Ease One Size diapers with Air Flow covers as the all around best mix of cost effectiveness and functionality. I also have a couple dozen extra small Sandy’s for those first few weeks when they’re so tiny with skinny legs and pointy bums. Now, since I have a new sewing machine and serger I had the urge to sew some diapers. I decided I needed some velcro all-in-ones (that have the waterproof layer built in so you don’t need a separate cover) for babysitters and helpful kids. You don’t know how many times I’ve found diapers inside out, backwards, or without a cover after taking the sitter home– and Logan keeps asking me to teach him how to change wet diapers. So here’s what I made:
It’s a size small Very Baby Basic All-In-One. I’ve got supplies to make a dozen. I’ve got 3 done. Hopefully I can get them sewn so I can use them before he outgrows them! I’m hoping I can do one a day. Or maybe half of one a day…
I couldn’t resist taking a picture of those perfect tiny toes, but I have to say I think the other end is the cutest. So I leave you with some more pictures of the newest little boy in these parts. Do you think he’ll mind if I say I think he’s pretty? Well, I do. I always think my babies are pretty.
even if most of them are boys.

Oh, what a cute litte face he has. I love the dark hair as well. I wonder how long he will hold onto it.

Would you ever consider selling some diapers? New or used (unless you are saving them for future babies) I have a pretty nice stash of swaddlebees fitteds and thirsties covers, but would love some AIO’s. Let me know, I’m not due till June so there is no hurry.
