Long Time No Blog

Wow, it's been a while since I've taken the time to update my blog. Things have been crazy busy between a now-mobile baby boy, loads of sewing, and new product development. Thankfully, I'm finally beginning to get my head above water with custom orders and will hopefully begin to move through "the list" more quickly from this point forward.

Here's a custom order I just completed for an awesome mama and her adorable daughter. LOVE!

I'm thrilled with the progress that has been made on Bebe Britches SSPUL diapers. I've been using a version of these diapers on Alex for a couple months and really love them. They're super absorbent but VERY trim. I hope to stock them in the store sometime this August.

Alex was kind enough to model them for me.

Well, it's back to the sewing room for me. I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer!

Bébé Britches FFS Drawing - Enter Now!

In honor of my birthday this weekend, I'd like to do a Stars and Stripes diaper giveaway! All I ask is that you cover shipping. You will get to choose whether you'd like a fitted or AI2 Britches of my popular Stars and Stripe diaper. Imagine how cute this will be on your little one's bum on the 4th of July! So, make sure to stop by Bébé Britches and get your entry in!!!

The drawing will take place on June 5th at 8:00PM EST.

Shaking It Up at Bébé Britches

I've decided to shake things up a bit at Bébé Britches...I'm now planning on stocking on Thursday evenings at 6:00PM EST! My husband is home early on Thursday nights, so I'll be more readily available to answer any pre- and post-stocking questions. Also, I've been struggling with the current 8:00PM stocking because my baby boy goes to bed at the same time. I'm hoping Thursday and 6:00PM works well for all my wonderful customers!

Finally, just a peak at my current projects...

It's Time for Bébé Britches AI2s!

This is a big week for Bébé Britches...my first stocking of the new AI2 diapers! Testing wrapped up last week and I was very pleased with all the great reviews and feedback. Here's a quick preview:

Now, I'm on to my next project...Bedtime Britches!

• One-size design to fit most babies from 10-35 pounds
• Turned and top-stitched edges for ultimate comfort against your baby's sensitive skin

One more thing - don't forget to grab a custom slot at tomorrow night's stocking (4/21 at 8:00PM EST)!

Hello Blog World

Now that Bébé Britches is up and running on Hyena Cart, I figured it was a good time to enter the world of blogging. Through this blog, I hope to keep everyone up-to-date with news about the store, custom orders, as well as little tidbits about myself, my family, and my progression towards a more "crunchy" lifestyle.
