Cloth Couture Diapers

PREVIEW: May 20th Stocking!!

2009-05-08T16:19:00.004-04:00

Yes, you heard me right. I had to move the stocking back a week since an order got messed up. I was supposed to be getting some more bamboo for the inserts and got suedecloth instead! :-/ So I have a BUNCH of Organic Bamboo Velour diapers (OBV) without inserts! I will be re-ordering and hopefully everything will be set to go by the 20th!

Meanwhile - feast your eyes on the previews. MANY Larges & Mediums.. a few smalls.

New "Prefold" in the works.

2009-05-07T19:43:00.004-04:00

I am so excited to announce I am working on a new prefold, for prefold lovers. Not just *any* prefold, but a heavy duty squishy prefold. It's outer is made of Organic Bamboo Velour and inside has some super duper absorbing materials, one of which is Zorb. Zorb is incedibly, incedibly absorbant (at least in my experience). The absorbing materials are just in the middle, as to not give too much bulk over all. Plus - it's just sooo squishy!

I immediately had to try it out on Carli, who wasn't happy about it (You know - Cranky toddler-to-be) but she obliged, and two hours later and there isn't a drop of moisture on the outside! I want to see just how long this pup can go! Hopefully in the coming weeks I will be able to make it available for my yahoo group to test it out!

I just ordered about 15 yards of Bamboo Velour - yes, you heard me.. bamboo. *Swoon* May 6th we have one LAST stocking of suedecloth then we are transitioning to ALL bamboo velour (with some cotton velour here and there).

May 6th - Stocking @ midnight .. includes special one of a kind diaper auction and a 3T Trainer & matching t-shirt FFS Lottery!

May 13th - (Starting to stock every week, hopefully) will include around 25 organic bamboo velour diapers!

Am falling into the groove of things but all customs SHOULD be done by May 13th! (Then customs will be finished weekly from here on out!) YAY!

My computer is SICK! :(

2009-04-20T11:24:00.003-04:00

Yesterday I decided to do a virus scan with my AntiVir. Low and behold I had some sort of trojan on it. It wasn't serious enough but I knew something was up when my computer started acting funny. (#1 sign of viruses or spyware, btw.. slow computers/freezing up). Anyhow.. I deleted something on accident. Now when I go to log in to my computer, it says "Logging in" then "Logging off". Bah! I cannot get on. So now I am subject to using my wonderful husbands computer fixing software and am basically in safe mode until it is fixed.

I am adding a bunch of diapers today, if I can step away from my sick computer. I added my "Twilight" diaper yesterday. Hopefully some fans will love it. I am really ISO old 80s cartoon fabrics - like Jem and the Holograms. I would *love* to do a whole diaper stash dedicated to 80s cartoons.

I should be appearing on the website MommyGoggles today, so keep a look out for my review. I am super excited that I got to share my product with Tanya's sweet Kambry and hopefully, introduce the concept to a few of her followers!

Love,

Teaming up with other WAHMs

I am teaming up with Ashley from Crunchy Clean Diaper Detergent and Cassondra from Booty Cubes Wipe Solution. For the stocking on April 22nd,I will be giving away a free sample of Crunchy Clean Diaper Diaper detergent in the following scents: Unscented, Lavender, Tea Tree Oil, & BabyBee. After everyone has a delicious experience using Crunchy Clean and relishing in their stink-free clean diapers, I will be stocking Crunchy Clean continuously through my store. Both ladies have such great scents to choose from that you'll go crazy trying to stick to just one!

Busy working on the newborn diapers today. Have about 5-7 finished. Just need to add the snaps. Then going to go back to working on the mediums. Larges soon to follow! I am almost ready, are you??!

New Blogger Layout :)

2009-04-15T15:34:00.002-04:00

New blogger layout, thanks to Sami from Chubby Cheeks Graphix! Well worth the donation! Looks very "Me" - er, Cloth Couture (yeah...).

I went to the post office today and dropped off about six packages (customs and winning lotteries and what not). I have to put the rest of the customs on hold because I need to stock like CRAZY. So the next few days are dedicated to STOCKING, STOCKING, STOCKING!

.. and I am also hiring some help. YAY! I am currently interviewing people so this should be interesting!

The ever exciting "First Post".

2009-04-13T18:24:00.000-04:00

I am excited about beginning my blogger/WAHM journey. I am going to utilize this blog to update customers on the who/what/when/where of all that is "Cloth Couture". I will also use this to update customers on customs. I will list the status of orders with the order # and all that fun jazzy stuff.

For example:

Order # 1045 (2 AIO Ooga & Later Gator/Medium) Finishing Production. Expected shipment date 4/14-4/15.
Order # 1035 (1 custom fitted Strawberry Shortcake/Large) Finishing Production. Expected shipment date 4/14-4/15.
Order #1034 (1 custom fitted Ooga/Large) Finishing Production. Expected shipment date 4/14-4/15.
Order #1027 (1 custom fitted Ooga/Small) In production. Expected shipment 4-15/4-16.
Order 1039 (2 Custom AIO/Lt. Blue Ooga & Sushi) In production. Expected shipment date 4-15/4-16.
Order 1036 (2 custom fitteds Vintage Bomber & Sweet Tunes/Large). Pre-Production. Expected shipment date 4-16/4-17.

Finishing production should be right on schedule.. but there may be some delay with anything "In production" or "Pre-Production" though should be sent off within a few days after expected shipment date. (I hope that makes sense?)

I am currently working on stocking for the 22nd and feel that I am not going to get anything NEARLY as done as I am hoping. Already I am feeling the pressure! (Eek!) have 9 days though - which is good. I am just worried my suedecloth will not arrive in time! Then I will have to resort to using velour instead. (Which I guess can be a good thing...) But still.. I need my suedecloth!
