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.

Babyville Boutique has offered to give a reader their own set of diaper making supplies in winners choice of Girl, Boy or GN! To enter you will need to fill out the form below.

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.

  4. 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!

  6. 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!

  13. Browsing reddit.com I noticed your blog
    bookmarked as: Blogger: Cloth Diaper Addiction. Now i'm assuming you book marked it yourself and wanted to ask if social book-marking gets you a lot of traffic? I've been thinking about doing
    some social bookmarking for a few of my sites but wasn't sure if it would yield any positive results. Thank you very much.

  16. Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just your
    articles? I mean, what you say is important and all.
    Nevertheless imagine if you added some great visuals or videos to give your
    posts more, "pop"! Your content is excellent but with pics and clips, this
    site could definitely be one of the very best in its niche.
    Awesome blog!
