Fuzzy Bum

The wool diaper covers I made while I was pregnant are finally getting use! In fact, I love them. I wasnt sure that I would use them at all. I had tried cloth diapers with this baby during his first month and he went thru several in an hour, which discouraged me and so I gave it up but, thankfully we had a day when we ran low on diapers and resorted to cloth and rediscovered how easy these covers make everything! They stay dry, so much better than my fleece lined snap covers, and they are super soft. And did I mention some of them are cashmere? Oh yes. And who among us has not dreamt of having our bottoms cushioned in cashmere? For the price of a bag of sweaters from the thrift store, that no one was going to wear anyway, I have the most lovely diaper covers. I assure you, I chose sweaters that no one would voluntarily wear, so dont lament the sweaters that were sacrificed. Here is a picture of Liam wearing one:

I hand sewed these while stuck in bed with swollen feet during my last trimester, so at some point I will have to finish them properly I suppose. And for each cover I make, there is a matching pair of fuzzy leggings waiting to be stitched together. Here is where I bought my pattern (this is also where I bought the sling pattern).

They have lots of good things, and some are downloads, so no waiting for shipping!

My plan is to use these on the days when I am home and use disposable when I'm out and about, but that could change as he gets older. I am blessed to have a father-in-law who insists on buying our diapers, removing one of my reasons for cloth diapers. I do think potty training will come easier if I use cloth though. Anyway, I'm pleased with the results of this project.
