Maxwell Designs Wet Bag & Essential Oil Giveaway May 2010

Since cloth diapering Shia full time I have found I need a lot more accessories - such as the indispensible Wet Bag. These bags are useful for so many reasons - great for storing and transporting cloth diapers, wet and dirty items, wipes, even taking snacks to the park or pre-school...the list goes on and on.

I decided to add these bags to my line so that you can now match your wet bag to your diaper bag, change pad and sling - or use it on its own. Made from high quality designer fabrics with coordinating inner PUL waterproof material and zipper closure. Keep smells and moisture in whilst looking trendy on the outside.
My current line features a small wet bag (more sizes to follow) which measures 9.5" x 11" - large enough to fit 2/3 large prefold diapers and some wipes, small enough to fit into your diaper bag. There is even a strap for you to attach to your stroller or diaper bag.

To launch my new product I am giving one away to one lucky person - BUT WAIT - you will also receive a bottle of Tea Tree Essential Oils  which you can use to freshen your wet bag by applying to the scent tab inside the wet bag.

Home dye update - the results


So I am all done and I am super happy with my new prefolds of many colours. Here is the
'before' photo
'just addng the dye' photo
and the 'final result' photo



Heres one I made to match my 'GroBaby' diaper shell - I made a lilac one to match my other shell too.
I would encourage anyone who has basic prefolds to have some fun with colours - brighten up your babies bum from the inside out.

Maybe I should start selling them at Maxwell Designs?

Home dye update Part 2

So, I had a devil of a time finding 'Soda Ash' in the end I gave up when I found out that it had WARNINGS all over it and that it may cause fumes when using - so I opted for a safer and more readily available product Dylon Cold Dye FIX - and I went dye crazy!! Photos to follow but I now have the following colour of prefolds - Green, Blue, Red and Lilac - they look great and I am very happy with the way they turned out - the green and lilac match my new GroBaby shell covers - an added bonus to home dying, you can match your prefold or cloth to your cover.......I am still in the rinse - wash process so will update you when they are all done.

Hand dying cloth diapers - part 1

I have been using pre-folds for a while now but after seeing some dyed diapers on one of my favourite retailers otterbabies I was inspired to dye my own - I mean how hard could it be? Well not as easy as you would think. I thought I could do the most natural way I knew - with beetroot and blueberries (seperately not together) and set about soaking my pre-washed diapers for a few hours. At first the colour looked great, just what I was looking for, but after asking a very good friend of mine if I was doing it right she told me that vegetable dyes will not hold and will wash out within a few washes - back to the drawing board. Debby forwarded me a great article on dying cloth diapers and I found out I need in order for the dye to stay. So I went on Ebay and promtly bought my dye. I was so excited for it to arrive so that I could add some flare to my cloth diapers.

The dye arrived yesterday and after reading the instructions carefully I realised there was yet another ingredient I needed! I wish the seller on ebay had told me that. I now have to try to find Soda Ash - not an easy thing when you live in a small town with just one hardware store. So I am on the hunt for the alusive soda ash this afternoon -wish me luck. I really want to start the dying process tonight!
