GIVEAWAY: Cloth wipes – feedback wanted!

Here’s a chance to win a pack of 5 cloth wipes! Simply read through to the end for conditions of this giveaway. Giveaway has closed, random.org drawing will be done late 1 December so stay tuned :)

I’ve just loaded up some cloth washers that I made over the last month or so.
The current batch I rounded the corners and overlocked the edges.

They ended up measuring slightly less than 20x20cm, so they would fit into an empty commercial wipes container.

There were fishes and ships,

The prewashed bamboo velour, while very melt-in-your-hand, ran out on me while making this batch. While prewashing another batch of bamboo velour, I cut up some matching soft dark pink cotton sherpa and continued making cloth washers.

They are very easy to use.
Simply wet, wipe and dry pail with your nappies.
How easy is that? No more separating commercial wipes from your cloth nappies even when out!

Now, on to the current Giveaway:

The winner will receive a mixed patterned pack of 5 cloth washers from the range (including 1 cotton sherpa wipe) worth approximately $10-$12. Please state if you want a mainly girly pack, a mainly boyish pack, a unisex pack or an ‘anything goes’ pack.

Reply to the questions below by submitting a comment, and I will random.org a winner some time on 30 November 2011 (or get one of my children to pick out of a hat or something).

What do you like to see in a cloth wipe?

- overlocked (as pictured) or turned and top-stitched (raw edges sewn in)?
- rounded corners (as pictured) or square corners?
- size: 20cm x 20cm is just right, or make it bigger or smaller?
- any other preferences?

Of course, if you want first dibs on any of these cloth wipes, you can go shopping for them via this link: Cloth Washers by ecoBumba

I look forward to hearing your feedback!

 

Works in Progress (no pictures)

It seems my ploy to reduce Facebook time is paying off. Very good for productivity and relaxation to turn Facebook off every two days.
Not just for the business, but also in family time and mental resting time.

 

Currently:

- working steadily through the pile of ecoBumba pocket nappy cuts and inserts. Very enjoyable when everything is cut out and set up, ready to go
- warm-up sewing of a certain updated Bubba J product line before they are cut out and set up (like ecoBumba)
- just about to start designing a totally new product line spurred by a recent request at the Eaton Handmade Market (and also a long-standing suggestion from 2 years ago)

Also getting a helper to help prep materials for sewing.

In other news it’s birthday season in our family for the next 31 days, so bear with me if things take a day longer here and there: my babies are growing up and we’d love to be there every step of the way.
