Ollie's new diapers!

Ollie has just about outgrown his infant prefolds, which makes me very sad since I worked so hard on them. I guess I'll just save them for any future fluffy bums down the road (way down the road LOL!).

I bought a dozen "capri" prefolds from Little Lions. I went with that size as I knew the regular ones would be too big and bulky. The measurements are almost identical to GMD's old rainbow-edged prefolds, which I think are the perfect size.

Of course, I had to dye them. Can't have boring white diapers, now can we? I went with amazon green, tropical green, and sunflower yellow.

I also experimented with a couple different techniques, but Blogger is being stinky and won't upload the remainder of my pictures. Here are the links, though.

Kinda looks like a dandelion

I took pictures of the whole process as well, which I'll post along with a tutorial for those wanting to give it a try. :)

Weebu's Rainbow Diaper Stash!

This might seem a bit silly to some of you, but humor me. I've been working really hard on Weebu's diaper stash, both dying diapers as well as constantly on the prowl for a good bargain (since I can't bring myself to pay full price for something Baby will only poo in). And I'm SO pleased with how it all came together. Stash List 14 preemie prefolds 18 newborn prefolds 34 infant prefolds 8 asst. newborn/infant fitteds 5 x-small Thirsties covers 4 small Thirsties covers 3 small BWW covers 1 newborn wool Stacinator 1 small wool Stacinator 1 pair of adorable small longies Newborn prefolds that I dyed with Dylon dye: Infant prefolds, also dyed: Fitteds (Loveybums, Thirsties Fab, & Snapdragon are the ones I know. The bottom 2 are made by me. I hope to make a few more using the Goodness Gracious pattern like the one on the right.) Thirsties covers: Rainbow of flannel-on-flannel cloth wipes: More wipes made from scrap flannel and terry cloth:
The whole stash (minus a few plain PFs and my new longies): You'll note a baby hat and socks in the last picture. Consider that a sneak peek of a future post. Both are handmade and purchased on Etsy. I can not wait to try them on Weebu! I'll write more about them later, since they deserve a whole post to themselves!
Oh, a few people have asked about dying the diapers. It's SO easy and so much fun! Here's a great tutorial on DiaperSwappers.com:
