Customized Capes

I absolutely LOVE when my customers make requests!  Y'ALL have such great ideas!  Keep 'em coming!  I had two specialty capes ordered last week that I wanted to share.

First up:  THOR-in real life he just has a red cape and carries a hammer, so I combine the two.

 Second: MINNIE MOUSE- her light pink bow matches our light pink mask perfectly.

And since we don't have enough DISNEY stuff in the house and for our trips.....now my kids each want their own capes too:)

Thank you ladies, for thinking outside the box and customizing your kids capes!

Wet Bags

I've been busy!  A lot goes into creating a new product for the shop.  I often contemplate it for months.  And then make several samples before I get it just right for you!

small wet bag

Someone asked if I made wet bags last fall.  You know the kind that people use for cloth diaper....of which I don't use!

So I had to do a little research.....and finding someone to actually talk to about them.

medium wet bag

And since I wouldn't be using them for cloth diapers, I had to think of other uses for them, because, it is really hard to love and sew something that you don't/won't find use for in your personal life.

large wet bag

So 6 months later....here they are:  Wet Bags in THREE sizes!  Let me introduce them to you:)

The SMALL wet bag:
* 8" x 10.5" (fold and stick into your purse or diaper bag)
* hold 1-2 cloth diapers that have been "used"
* holds change of clothes for those Potty Training days.....months........years! (keep dry clothes inside until needed and then swap them out for the "wet" ones)
* holds 1-2 wet swimsuits for after you have spent your day at the pool or beach and change out of them to go home or how about after swim lessons.

Snap handle (on the small and medium) makes it so easy to hang on a door knob (in a bathroom) or on your chair at the beach.  Open it up and then hang in on the handle to your stroller as you walk back to your car or to keep separate from your diaper bag stuff when you have wet stuff in it.

 The MEDIUM wet bag:
* 13" x 14.5" (fold into quarters and stick into your purse or diaper bag)
* hold 8-9 cloth diapers that have been "used" (great for being gone all day)
* holds SEVERAL changes of wet clothes for those Potty Training days.....months........years!
* holds 4-5 wet swimsuits for after you have spent your day at the pool or beach
* holds ONE wet towel and ONE wet swimsuit (perfect for swim lessons or swim dates!)

And because our family is larger that most.....SEVEN.....the medium bag just wasn't big enough for use to all squeeze our wet swim suits in at the gym, so the large was born!

 The LARGE wet bag:
* FAMILY SIZE or 14" x 19" (perfect to toss into our swim bag or into the trunk for "just in case" wet clothes
* Has two handles (instead of snap wristlet)
* hold 20-24 cloth diapers that have been "used" (great for at home)

* holds the whole family's wet swimsuits for after you have spent your day at the pool or beach and change out of them to go home or how about after swim lessons.
* holds TWO wet beach towels, plus swim suits

dry pocket

On this one, I added a dry pocket to the front of the bag.  I like to be able to carry a couple extra dry swim diapers or toss  my keys and phone into it.  I realize that not everyone will use it that way (especially if you are using it at home to hold your cloth diapers) and so the DRY POCKET is an add on item.  There is an upcharge to have it added to the medium or large wet bags.

So now that the pools are opening up here in Texas, we are getting lots of use out of our WET BAG!

Order yours today, so you are ready for the upcoming swim season, or if you are using cloth diapers, or if you are like me and heading into those days, weeks, months of POTTY TRAINING.  (4th time around--I hope it's easier this time--at least it will be cuter!)
