New Product: ECO Training Pants

What are ECO Training Pants, you ask? Well, at one point, I received a stash of prefold diapers that were missing layers and were frayed on the edge because layers had been ripped off... In general, unacceptable to make training pants out of. This stash got set aside while I tried to think what to do with them, since I hate throwing things away if I still think they MIGHT have life left in them.

One day, while I was cutting out microfiber towels to make pocket diaper inserts, I noticed that each towel I cut then had a strip left as wide as the center panel on a prefold. A flash of inspiration hit me, and I added 2 of these strips to the outside center panel of one of the above mentioned prefolds, making the center panel 4 layers of prefold, and 2 of microfiber... almost normal again. Adding a print panel on the outside then hides the microfiber, and makes the trainers pretty again.

I can't COMPLETELY trim the frayed edges, but I can trim as close to the prefold as possible, and as such, these trainers are discounted compared to my other prefold training pants.

And voila! Trash prefolds then get a new lease on life, as well.

Welcome Back

For those who are still with me... It's been a long absence with which I used to pull myself together and come back to being a WAHM better than I was before...

First, I made some changes to my pattern, based on tester feedback. The front is squared off to allow for more snap settings, and for it to lay flatter... The pocket opening has a real welt style opening.

The first of the policy changes is that I will no longer be offering custom orders. I may stock 1 or 2 at a time in my store at a later date, but for now, I will only be doing instock. This will allow me to get orders out the same day they are made (assuming ordering before noon AZ time) so that I can stay on top of things without getting behind...

My goal is to stock at least 2 new things each day, alternating between a Pocket day, and a Trainer day, and at some point, I will be adding the mama cloth back in.

Below you find pictured the new pocket diaper design, and Im confident that this design should help it truly fit to potty training... albeit bikini cut at the toddler years.
