Cloth Diaper Event at Coupon Mommy of 3!

To all my wonderful cloth diapering mommas (and those who have thought about it), here is your chance to participate in a great cloth diaper event. Coupon Mommy of 3 is having an event that is lasting the rest of September! That's right, the rest of September. I couldn't believe it either. This is your chance to read some great reviews of diapers and maybe even win some. :) I encourage you all to head on over and check out her great blog and the event she is hosting. Here is the button for the event:

My first Diaper!

I have finally done it! Ever since I found out the Peanut was on the way, I have known that I would like to be the one to make almost the entire stash of cloth for him/her. About a week ago I started cutting out the pieces of fabric following the free Newborn Darling Diaper Pattern. I used the red pattern since LJ was so tiny at birth and I have a feeling Peanut will be as well. The pattern has the option for a snap down front to accommodate cords on new babies. I loved that about this pattern.
Well, would you all like to see it?! Here you go!

Of course, being a picture of just the diaper, it is hard to tell that this is such a cute LITTLE diaper! So, I took another picture that shows this diaper along side of a CD. Check this out...

I didn't add any closures since I may make most of the diapers to close with snappi's. I am not sure. Now seeing the diaper "finished" I am thinking at some point I may add some hook & loop closures, but that will be determined by my mood and how well this works with just a snappi. :)
I just had to share this all with you! I can't wait to sew up a bunch more!
Until next time.... Happy Diapering!

I took the plunge

Today I have been decently productive. I have had motivation, who knows from what, but I have wanted to keep going on sewing. Well, today I finished up a bunch of cloth wipes that I had cut out months ago. See where I am going with this?

 Wipes before finishing the edges

Well, today I actually used some cloth wipes from two of LJ's messy diapers. I never thought that I would use cloth wipes. But now with Peanut on the way, I am rethinking things a little more. I know that new baby poo is mostly liquid so I am not too worried about having too much solids on the wipes when I am done with them. I just sort of can't believe that I used cloth wipes, but I must say, it was nice. :)
I use disposable wipes at times, and I had been making my own flushable wipes, but since the move, I haven't made any more of these and don't totally feel like doing it. I don't mind the flushable wipes, but with everything that is going on right now, I don't feel like taking the time to separate the paper towels from each other, folding them to wipe size and then making them in to the pop-op stack.
So, for all my cloth mamas, do you use cloth wipes all the time? Have you gone to disposable ever or done flushables? If you use cloth wipes, do you make them or buy them? What is your favorite brand?

Giveaway Extended!

Due to the low number of comments, I will be extending the giveaway of the two Lynifer inserts until August 10th. I am also going to add to the mandatory entry as I fear it may be scaring away readers. So, go, have fun and maybe enter a certain giveaway. :)
