Stirling Street Art Centre Arts & Crafts Market, Bunbury (Saturdays, now closed)

…was the very first time Bean Sprout Bubba came on the market after taking over the Bubba J label in April 2009.
This was the Bean Sprout Bubba / Bubba J stall. It was my very first market attendance, so the stall arrangement was quite simple. I was building up my stock at the time and only had cuddlefleece covers to sell.

What shall I do to celebrate? One year has just gone by so quickly, oh my!! What a year it has been!

Since that first frigid morning, www.beansproutbubba.com.au was launched, this blog was added, I took on other quality nappy brands as a retail stockist, added on baby ring sling carriers and then collaborated with local mums to create ecoBumba one-size cloth nappies.

I did a few more Stirling Street Art Centre Saturday Craft Markets until it closed, then did a few big market days like Australia Day 2010 in Bunbury and Capel Fest 2010 in April. Meanwhile, the website began to thrive as word-of-mouth of people (like you!) spread….

In the process of setting up the Bean Sprout Bubba market stall, attending the Australia Day Bunbury Fireworks Extravaganza 2010

Then in March 2010 came the Great Cloth Nappy Hunt, and June 2010 was My Green Nappy Green Promise Nappy Winter Giveaway. I will be in the September 2010 Cloth Nappy Hunt before bub arrives.

Throughout the year I have met up with various local clients who came for nappy advice and ring sling demo sessions.
I’ve also sent out mail order parcels throughout all states of Australia, with the furthest parcel being sent to Torres Strait Island!
Internationally, I have customers close by in Malaysia, Singapore and as far flung as Norway in Europe.

Thank you all for your support throughout these last several months.
I hope to continue creating beautiful nappies for a few more years, and share all that I know about using cloth nappies with you whenever i have time to spare.

With the imminent arrival of Little C in October, I may be closed for a short while for babymoon/confinement month, but rest assured I will be back!

Sorry for the very ‘Me’ post! Simply tell me, how did you come across Bean Sprout Bubba? i would love to hear your stories.

Chaos at the table - at least it shows some work being done!

Other news: the kids have been down with a cough virus that making the rounds in Bunbury at the moment.

I’m not feeling too crash hot myself, might have caught something from one of the little ones spill-ups if you catch my drift

I’ll be back with the usual programming next week. I plan to finalise the newsletter for July in a few days once this bug is chased away from our family.

The irony is, with the kids down sick I have had some time to cut, snap and sew nappies. Not all of them are in the shop as they were custom orders (photos coming).

Wish us well…

Welcome to Giveaway #20, hosted by Bean Sprout Bubba.

Please feel free to get to know more about us, or continue reading more about our entry in the 100 Green Promise Initiative (Winter round).

From 1 June to 15 July 2010, you will be given the opportunity to submit an answer to a question on the Bean Sprout Bubba website for Giveaway #20 to be in the draw to win an ecoBumba ‘Minkee Boutique’ one-size pocket nappy in Green/choc Paisley print.

Designed from October 2009 in collaboration with local mums in Bunbury WA, it is based on the well-loved hip-snapping Bubba J modern cloth nappy design, modified to become a one-size stylish nappy.

ecoBumba one-size pocket nappy grows with your baby

Features and benefits include:

• Polyester plush print outer: for a stylish lush nappy.
• Hidden PUL layer: for waterproofness with breathability
• Microsuede lining: Kepps baby dry by wicking moisture through to the inner core.
• Two 2-layered bamboo quick dry inserts included: Shorter insert for newborns or young infants, longer insert for older babies. Use both inserts for longer wears or even at night. All inserts unfold for athorough wash and quick dry ability.
• Rise snaps: nappy grows with your baby – adjust the rise according to the length of baby’s rise
• Hip-snapping: waist and thigh fit can be set separately, ensuring a good fit for no leaks.
• Gently curved tummy panel: to fit under tummies while providing adequate coverage.
• Trim fit at the crotch: while providing enough room to contain messes.

Tested to fit bubs from 3.5kg up to about 15kg. You may like read more about ecoBumba and see fabric choices, or have a look at what testers had to say.

This nappy is one of the newest nappy brands available on the market today.
They are so new that I only have 12 ecoBumba pocket nappies in stock at the moment, though about 40+ are cut up ready to be sewn in various colours, prints and textures.
I’m a perfectionist, and I am doing my very best to sew them as quickly as I can, while not compromising on workmanship.

Made by hand with love in Bunbury WA.

To make it easier to use cloth nappies, Bean Sprout Bubba has a range of nappy accessories in stock to help you use cloth when out and about, or when removing waste from nappies. (this is a big hint by the way to help you answer the very simple question for Giveaway #20 ).
