Later today I will be putting up pre-orders for the Intro to Cloth packs. These will be on the
Ceejay site for the time being but may move to my main site later
It has been my observation that one of the reasons people don't go to cloth is because they believe it is expensive. Yes it can be; if all that is available is highly priced and decorated nappies. To start off babies need basic nappies that they can wee in, and when small, bubs are (or probably should be) changed frequently.
When I first started making nappies quite a few years ago there were only about 3 nappy makers in Australia, if that. Prices were good, products were good, service was good.
Times have changed, the market has been flooded with cloth nappies, some good, some not so good, but a lot is highly priced; also people are confused. It was never my intention to make nappies for profit; my primary aim was to get the message across that cloth not only was better but also was heaps cheaper.
I have decided to supply a good basic nappy pack, which could be given as a gift to new mums or used to supplement a small stash already acquired by a cloth user, and to make it affordable.
Packs will be by pre-order only. They take some time to make so there will be a slight waiting time, depending on how many are on the list, but probably 2 to 4 weeks. Packs contain 6 fitted nappies (with cotton outers which could be flannel, knits,fine corduroy,quilters cotton etc, bamboo or BKT soakers,velour, or sherpa or similar inners, hook and loop closures); 6 bamboo snap in boosters; 1 Little Jakes hand knitted soaker in pure wool, including hand dyed wools in our Colours of Australia theme,6 Cloth Wipes plus a drawstring PUL wetbag. The nappy is a modification of my original ceejay pattern, but is not one sized and does not have the fold over front; also the fabrics have been brought up to date to include bamboo.
Details will be on the Ceejay site, with price.
Yes the price is low
BUT the quality is not.
I have kept the price to the bare minimum to allow everyone to have a chance to try cloth.How long these packs remain at the special intro price is not known.
The fine print: These packs will NOT be customisable. Packs will be supplied in random colours-my choice. You will have the option to say boy,girl or unisex, but not to choose actual colours or fabrics, or alter the packs.They do not come gift wrapped, but will be packed the most economical way as this special introductory price will include regular postage within Australia.
I will offer slots for a particular date, and once full, the next slots will be for a later date. I will try to keep a space in case someone wants a gift in a hurry but these packs are very time consuming to put together on my own, so it is unlikely I can do them in under 2 weeks-unless of course I am bribed with something yummy.
Lindt orange or pistachio chocolate bars might work.
Nappies are classed as size small-they are not newborn size.(If you want a newborn gift pack I highly recommend Cherubs Kiss). However it won't take long for most bubs to fit into them and the length of time they will fit obviously depends on the individual child, but approx 8 or 9 kg.
By that time mums will be looking at night nappies so it is possible I will be offering larger size packs in different varieties, but that is uncertain at this time.
I am currently taking a break from sewing KK's but as I made such an enormous batch of them in September I do still have enough if you would like one; keep an eye open for some heavily reduced ones too, on the AIO page at my possumpouches.com.au site.
Knits are mostly made to order although I have a few soakers and longies in stock.
