Sewing: Modern Cloth Nappy

And its so cute!!!


You just have to love the amazing nappies that are now available with 'Modern Cloth Nappies' - this one has lime cow print PUL and cow suede inner for easy clean ;)



Since before Emma was born i decided that i would use cloth nappies on my children, there were many pros and cons but when it comes down to it - using cloth makes me smile.

If its something you want to look into then theres a great web site that you must visit -


it has all the info you need and a great forum full of ladies that are more than happy to help you understand the colourful and rewarding world of cloth.

but yes its taken me this long to start making some cute wee 'pocket nappies' myself.

This one is a 'Sams Sneaky Snappy Nappy' .... thanks to my good friend Kate as half my shopping was in her stash ;) - and she also passed on some expert advice and started a new addiction for me! ..... Her work is amazing though and i can only aspire to create the cuteness that comes from her and her machine.


Let me tell you more ..... Like me Kate is a mum to two wee girls, but she has also created her own business from the ground up, with a year or two of extensive testing and ongoing development to the needs of her customers - all amongst the daily chores and demands of a busy mum.

Shes the founder of Bib and Tucker - Boutique New Zealand made cloth nappies. They sure are the best fit nappies we've used - not to mention the have an amazing cuteness factor built in. Her latest collections have included some soft minky nappies (YUM!) and of course her unique hand painted nappies - these really are a work of art!
such time and thought go into each and every one.


Bib and Tucker nappies seem (by my eyes) to have a firm following which is not surprising as not only are they NZ made, the quality high and their fit so good, but Kate is forever listening to feedback she receives and tweaking the small things that count to improve her product - the tell of a true key to success.

Bib and Tucker also have a blog - when you can keep up with the latest collections that have been released, link to the Etsy store and contact Kate with any questions or an order - I hear that her latest shipment headed to the UK - what a cool achievement!

Kate sure has a true passion for cloth nappies - congrats on your success my friend :)

And thanks for providing my girl with a nappy that i never want to hide away xxx



Have you got a nappy that you never want to cover up?

another first of many

Yes when your a mum with young children around, the small things - even if they are related to dirty nappies can help put a smile on your face.

And when a lovely Friend offered to show me the steps in nappy making and 'shop' in her amazing fabric cupboard how could i say no? ... so this was last nights efforts. Sadly its not destined to stay in our house with my little monkeys but we are due to get a cool wee nappy in return (can't wait!) The sewing is a wee wonky in patches but i seemed to have earned my nappy making badge and can't wait to do the next one ;)

I've been shoping ...

So with Emma's Summer dress done i have had to cast on another! ... for Becca of course --- after i finished the first one with fabric to spare and saw how well it goes with Becca's new nappy
dun da da dun ...
Yes our first Bib and Tucker Pocket Kate sells some really cute nappies on her site and her new designer range is just amazing! She has such passion to hand paint each nappy - they truly are a work of art.

So with this new love I'm having for nappies i can see a few more in the near future joining our stash!

But for now its back to knitting Becca's Dress - night All
