BabyVille Boutique

Something I enjoy doing is sewing, granted I'm not like a professional seamstress or anything like that and I don't think I would ever sell anything I make. I do like to make baby blankets as gifts though. I can do those pretty good. So, anyways, When I heard about a company called Babyville Boutique I decided to check it out. They make and sell cloth diaper related sewing supplies. And the best part is that you can buy them locally, and not just online! I contacted the company about doing a review and here is what they sent me.
I received a 3pk of boy print diaper cuts, their cloth diaper sewing book which includes patterns, a pack of patch embellishments, fold over elastic, aplix and snaps. A great variety of items.
Here is a picture of their PUL. I love the lil monster print. I have heard that some people have had issues with their PUL separating but I haven't had any issues with this.
I decided to make a large diaper but wasn't sure what kind. I went with a cover/AI2 diaper shell. I used the pattern from the BabyVille Boutique pattern book. It was pretty easy to follow along to their directions. I used snaps for this cover.
So here is my finished diaper cover. I think it looks pretty good. I did alter where my snaps went from where their pattern says to place them mainly because I know where I like snaps on my diapers.
I did cross over snaps as well as hip snaps.
The outside of the diaper opened up.

The inside of the diaper opened up. I used a soft fleece on the inside.Here is the diaper on my son. I used a best bottoms insert snapped into this cover and it worked really well. I haven't had any leak issues at all with this cover which is great. One thing that I don't care for with this patter in the extra bulk in the middle of the diaper. You can see there is a lot bunched up between the legs. However, their pattern offers a trim fit diaper or a wider fit diaper and I did the wider fit which adds in the extra material between the legs. The next diaper I make I will use the trim fit for.

So where can you get these products locally? I found mine at Joann Fabrics. Above is a picture of what is available at my store. I had so much fun looking at the items. While I was there there was a group of 3 elderly ladies checking out the items as well. They were so impressed with 'modern' cloth diapers and I showed them the one my son was wearing too. It was so funny to hear what they were talking about related to cloth diapers. You can also purchase these online at Joann Fabrics.

I was sent products from Babyville Boutique to use and review. All opinions are of my own and I did not receive payment to write this review.

I love the best bottoms diapers, and am thinking of making my own covers, and using their inserts. Did the babyville snaps work with the snaps on the inserts? Before I run out and buy a bunch of things, I was hoping to know if they work together! Thanks!

Hello there! I know this is kinda off topic but I'd figured I'd ask.
Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest authoring a blog article or vice-versa?

My site discusses a lot of the same subjects as yours and I think we could greatly
benefit from each other. If you're interested feel free to shoot me an email. I look forward to hearing from you! Excellent blog by the way!

Hey! I was interested to know if setting up a blogging site such
your own: http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?
blogID=9073655496261535591&postID=7713064631951784503 is challenging to do for unskilled people?

I have been wanting to create my own blog for a while now but have
been turned off mainly because I've always assumed it demanded tons of work. What do you think? Thank you
