New Print Covers Friday

Just a quick heads up to let you know I've got four new prints stocking at fishnoodles Friday October 2 at noon. These are all Snapper diaper covers in poly PUL, for no wicking.

Pink Chocolate Hearts

Wild Cat


Thing One Thing Two


Retro Owls

I'm also in the process of reconfiguring the store a bit. I liked the idea of grouping items into one listing - fewer clicks to actually see the items. However, it has gotten too hard to manage all the sold out items. I've gotten myself confused a couple of times now. So the storefront is a little ugly at the moment but I'll work on that. Everything is still there, it just looks different when you arrive!

What's up this week

At fishnoodles this week I've been working on stock for my brick-and-mortar retailer. I've also been working on an exciting new project - a one size, snapping, bamboo, turned-and-topstiched fitted. What's so new about that, you say?
Well, it's all about the closure. I've developed a new way to have a snapping diaper that doesn't drown baby in zillions of snaps.
Here's the backstory: about a year ago, I developed a multi-size fitted, but wasn't fond of applying 33 snaps to each diaper - a typical amount for any one-size snapping fitted. I shelved that pattern, though the diaper fit well and had good reviews. But I still wanted to have a bamboo fitted. Over the summer I brought back a closure-free version of that pattern. It's a fine diaper - but it does leave one dealing with pins and snappis. For months I've been thinking there's got to be a better way.
A couple weeks ago I had one of those aha! moments. I think you're going to find this new idea intriguing, maybe even tempting enough to try.
I've got samples out to testers and am working on tweaking the concept. I can't wait to reveal it when it's ready!

Solo Flyer solids

Up this week are some new Solo Flyers in a great fall palette of burgundy, olive, deep purple and pink. Also, just two in chocolate. Would have liked to offer more but we are sold out of that particular color for now. Check it out at fishnoodles this Friday the 18th at noon. If you could use a medium-long snapper cover now or in the near future, put your name in for another free for shipping drawing!

Hot off the press!

The snap press, that is. New solid color diaper covers in rich fall colors. There's a little sampling here, more in the store. Stocking Friday Sept 11th at noon, with lots of variety, but as usual, mostly one in each colorway per size. If you've got a size medium LO, be sure an enter the FFS drawing for a free Pumpkin Pie diaper cover too.

Even better flying

Now boarding, new Solo Flyer all in two diapers, with even better passenger room (new sizing) and luxurious comfort (new soaker style).
Here's the flight plan for the new Solo Flyer:
Size - Over the past year and a half or so of selling Solo Flyers, mamas have let me know that they run large in the rise/leg opening. With the stretchiness of the fabric, the sizing needed to be adjusted, and is now true to size. Medium-long wasn't really needed, again with all that stretch, so it's simplified to small, medium, large.
Style - Between front and side snap, side snap always sells out first, so we've gone with all side snap now. Several customers asked me to attach the soaker just in the back, and that seemed to be a good way to go, so that the soaker can be one long piece for easier cleaning or sunning. And finally, the soaker is now heavyweight bamboo viscose/organic cotton terry - a wonderful, soft and incredibly absorbent fabric.
Prints stock on Friday September 4 at noon. And...there's a drawing for a free fitted too!
