Wednesday night update

Just a quick update in case anyone follows the link from Ozebaby; I've set everything to preview there for a few days to hold off the orders - I'm swamped with fabric orders at the moment and I need to catch up on sewing.

I'll change everything back to buy-able on Saturday evening :)

Thanks!

A few Liners to go on Ozebaby

http://www.ozebaby.com.au/store.php?SS=4

I've set them to preview and will change them to live on Saturday evening.

There are more Liners in new prints (previous post/pics) but I'm sewing a few special things atm, so I will load the new prints over the next few weeks...

In the meantime there is still a lot of gorgeous velour and organics up for grabs! :D

Why does it cost so much to buy a WAHM-made item...

... when I can make it myself and it really isn't that difficult?

Over the years that I've been around cloth nappy forums I've seen this question raised a lot wrt nappies, and as cloth pads have become more popular I've seen it applied to cloth pads as well...

I came across this http://www.sleepingbaby.net/jan/Baby/why.html recently and thought what a great discussion it was of this subject. She has covered it well.

July Update :)

We had some lovely breaks over the last month and are back home again, into the routine of school and business...

I'm planning another sewing round in the next month, and will be working on Flexi pads in some of the gorgeous prints pictured below - with more Bamboo Velour Heaven!

I'm also very happy to say that, after testing with a great group of testers earlier in the year, I'll be adding Minky to your choice of top fabrics. Incredibly lush and soft, and oh so comfortable to wear - Minky topped pads will be stocking at Moondancemama sometime in the next month :D

A *big* order of cotton velour has arrived and I'll be selling this as fabric cuts on Ozebaby - beautiful bright colours, and deliciously soft! I'll also be selling off some of my hard to get organic fabrics, so if you'd like to add organic BKT, sherpa or velour to your home-sewn nappy stash, here is your chance :)

There will also be a few new suprises to add to the stock at Moondancemama, if I get a little bit more sewing time ;)

Thanks for all your support and please let me know how you are going with your Rainbows pads if you are a new user of them - I'll always try to help if I can :)

Cheers
Em :)

Moondancemama Birthday Competition

...has been drawn and the winner is Caroline! (edited to add this)

Thankyou so much for all your comments and entries - I have loved reading them, and sharing your cloth journey. It is *fantastic* to see so many women using cloth!

Cheers

New Liner Print Pics

I have tried to finish a batch of Liners before our month off - a few new prints - they aren't snapped yet but here are pics. I'll keep adding pics as I can get them - very overcast here so I've rigged up a light tent (thanks to Vicki at Bubblebubs for her links!) and hopefully the colours are somewhere near the mark.

These will be stocked at Ozebaby in mid-July; no stockings up till then b/c I will be offline. And there will be Flexis in most of these new prints as well :)

Enjoy! :)

It's Birthday Month here!

Two years since I began sewing Rainbows pads for other people and it's my 37th birthday this month! I love getting older, love being inside my skin, as wrinkly and tired as it is some days ;)

I'm away travelling and offline for most of the time between June 6th - July 6th... so I won't be checking or answering emails in this time.

But I'd like to celebrate the cloth journey with other women - so for 37 days (June 1st to July 7th) I'll be running a competition - your chance to win a custom-made Rainbows pad. From 1st June to the 7th July you can email me your feedback on cloth pads – tell me why you like using them, and nominate the favourites from your stash. Use the header “Moondancemama Competition – Your Name” and email your entry to moondancemama@hotmail.com to go into the draw.

The winner will be drawn and announced on July 8th - you will choose the style and fabric you’d like and I will make it for you before the end of July :)

Good luck!
