Hi All
Hi All,
So lately I have been very busy with my life and figuring out all this school stuff that I have not been taking care of my blog and website. Well here it is I am only doing a blog for now on, sorry everyone it is just much eaiser for more to look after one thing instead of trying to conduct several things at once! So to add to this I have also gotton rid of my personal blog and added it to my business blog. As now my business is kinda going down the drain to all of the articles in my life! So I am just letting everything flow as it is, and what happens happens. I will still post items to Etsy for extra cash on the side. And also if you are requesting custom items feel free to ask and I can try to accomidate what you are looking for :)
Bye for now ALL.

Fabric Info
Water-proof Barriers
PUL
Polyurethane Laminate fabric is a film that has been pressed and attached to a piece of fabric, to make it water proof. You can pick the different choices of fabrics; printed, or solids. It is many used for cloth diapers and diaper covers, but can also be used for protective bed sheets, and bibs.
V-Lite
This is a fabric that is made specially for cloth diapers, and hospital uses. It is 100% dryer safe. It is a bit thicker then PUL, but just as moveable! Please feel free to read more about this product.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Absorbent Layer
Microfiber
This is an absorbent fabric used for soaker pads, and inserts for diapers. It is only meant to be used on the inside of two fabrics. Do not allow this to touch babies skin. It will sometimes usually give baby a rash.
Zorb
Zorb is an absorbent fabric 10X more absorbent than cotton alone! It comes white or clue in colour, and mainly used for inners of diapers, mam products, and more. Not good to use against skin, and it is not organic. But it is still good for using when absorbency is needed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Outer Layer
Minky / Chenille
These two fabrics are very soft and super great for inner or outer of diapers. Although not all minkee fabric is great for inners, some of the different styles are very thick and therefor are not good for inners. But although they are super soft for inners, they do not wick as well as some other fabrics. But they do pull the wetness away from baby and NO NOT STAIN! Also if you have this fabric for an outer it will not absorb any of the wetness like a flannel or cotton fabric would. Makes for a longer lasting diaper.
Cotton
Great prints for the outers of diapers, but not an inner diaper choice! It is best to use high quality quilting prints. The only downfall to using these as an outer of diapers, as it does pull the wetness from the inside of diapers. Unless you have a great wicking fabric on the inside, then you are set.
Microfleece
Although microfleece is very similar to microfiber, it can be used against babies skin. But it is not absorbent! This is a fabric that is better for inners of diapers, it is very good for wicking.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inner Layers
Minky / Chenille
These two fabrics are very soft and super great for inner or outer of diapers. Although not all minkee fabric is great for inners, some of the different styles are very thick and therefor are not good for inners. But although they are super soft for inners, they do not wick as well as some other fabrics. But they do pull the wetness away from baby and DO NOT STAIN! Also if you have this fabric for an outer it will not absorb any of the wetness like a flannel or cotton fabric would. Makes for a longer lasting diaper.
Flannel
Flannel is not good as an outer fabric, but as a inner for a diaper it is super soft and absorbent. Great for when choosing contours, or fitteds. But most of all great for wipes!
Bamboo Velour
This is a great wicking fabric, it is meant to keep baby dry, and pull the moisture away from the baby, and into the soaker pad. Great for all types of diapers. But more expensive
PUL
Polyurethane Laminate fabric is a film that has been pressed and attached to a piece of fabric, to make it water proof. You can pick the different choices of fabrics; printed, or solids. It is many used for cloth diapers and diaper covers, but can also be used for protective bed sheets, and bibs.

Questions and Answers
Q: What is an applique?
A: An appliquation is a fabric design that is first cut, then ironed on to a piece of fabric, and then sewn to make sure there is no freeing. It can be any design that you are interested in, and also be made in different sizes. Such items can be made as in shapes, pictures, letters, numbers, etc.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: What is PUL? What is V-lite?
A: PUL is a short form for polurethane laminated fabric. It is on the under side of a piece of fabric that makes it water proof. Another fabric that I use that is similar to PUL is v-lite. V-lite is a fabric made specially to make diapers, diaper covers, and crib mattresses. It is a thicker fabric then PUL and is made to endour high heat temperatures like the dryer. Whereas PUL is not suitable for the dryer.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: How many cloth diapers do I need?
A: To choose the amount of diapers you need, it all depends on how old your child is, and how mnay times you would like to do laundry. But for a few facts on diapering different age groups. Here is a little hint. On a daily basis an average New born will go threw as many as 10 diapers per day. Not including night time use. So if you would do laundry every three days, a good amount of diapers would include around 25 - 30 diapers. If you have an infant (3-9months) or a toddler (10 - 15 months), a good amount of diapers is 15 - 25. The less you have the more you have to do laundry. And for a pre-schooler (18 months- 3years) a good amount for those who are learning to potty train are 10 - 20 diapers.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: What is the difference between enclosures?
A: I have three different kinds of enclosures for my diapers. There is snaps and aplix.
Snaps - Easy to use and are great, most children cannot get them off, and come in various colours to match your diapers. These diapers will not stick together in the was as aplix diapers would. So no freying and no diaper train.
Aplix - Easy easy to use, getting on and off your child. Come in various colours, but not always to accessable to get them in them. But the down fall to these diapers is even though you have laundry tabs on them, they will still stick together in the wash. And this makes for one big diaper train of mess. And also when children get older they tend to take them off easier too.

Diaper Styles:
All In One's (AIOs):
My AIO's are made with one outer layer of a printed or solid fabric, with a inner layer of v-lite. The next layer is of a 4 layer soaker pad made with layers of microfiber or zorb. Against babies skin is a wicking fabric of bamboo velour lining. And then the soaker pad is sewn in against the layer of wickable fabric. You can have either snaps or aplix(velcro) for the enclosure. If you choose aplix you will recieve laundry tabs with no extra charge! And there are gussest on either sides of leg, the back and front. Choose from either front enclosure, or side enclosure style!
All In One Pockets:
My AIO pockets are just like a regular pocket diaper, but have a sewn in soaker pad (made up of two layers; zorb or microfiber and bamboo). Depending on the insert you choose for your diaper it can have 3 - 6 layers of fabric! There is one outer layer of the choice of fabric you choose and a hidden inner layer of v lite. It can either be enclosed with snaps, or aplix closures. If you choose aplix you will recieve laundry tabs at no extra charge! And there are gussest on either sides of leg and in the back. Choose from either front enclosure, or side enclosure style!
Pocket's:
Pocket diapers are made with a opening in the middle of your diaper where you can place an insert into for its absorbency. Depending on the insert you choose for your diaper it can have 3 - 6 layers of fabric! There is a wickable fabric agaisnt babies skin. Also with these diapers you can choose from snaps or aplix enclosure. If you choose aplix you will recieve laundry tabs with no extra charge!

Fitteds:
A fitted is a diaper that is made to fit all the curves of your baby. It is made to be the same absobency as a contour(but has enclosures and has flaps to hold in place). By the way it fits all the areas of your baby like a regular diaper but without the water-resistant fabric inner. There are sewn in gussest's around the inners of legs, and the back, so there is no messes and leaks! All fitteds are made with one outter layer of fabric (solid or print), a four layer soaker pad(sewn in), and one inner layer of fabric of your choice against babies skin. You have your choice of enclosure; snap or aplix (velcro). If you choose aplix you will recieve laundry tabs with no extra charge! Choose from either front enclosure, or side enclosure style!

PUL covers are great for day, night, and everytime in between. These are made with one layer print or solid fabric outside, with either snaps or aplix. If you choose aplix you will recieve them with laundry tabs at no extra charge. All come with gussets so no leaks or messes. Elastic in front and back for better support. Come in either front or side enclosures.
Specialty Covers
Not only for people who love animals either! They can also come as skirts, animal faces or bodies. Example: A set of butterfly wings, animal faces, kittens ears, and tail, etc. Lots of different fun items to choose from. And also can be made with snaps or aplix fronts, you choose.
