Babyville

One of my projects coming up is to make cloth diapers for my sister-in-law (I think of her more as a niece).
I have been totally intimidated by this, even though I have three children. Wicking fabrics, or at least that title, are relatively new to the home sewing industry. Here I am, making something dependent on wicking fabric. I can only wonder- is there a right side and a wrong side? If I sew it together backwards, will it hold the wetness against the baby? Things like that.
But tonight I went to the fabric store, and was roaming the isles. I ended up in Babyville. Babyville is a line of products designed to simplify making cloth diapers. Not only did I run into the section, full of bolts of PLU (the waterproof knit used for diaper covers), but everything was 30% off!
That didn't bring the PLU down to the $7.99 a yard I found on fabrics.com, but the $20 snap setter pliers were reduced to $13, and that made me very happy.
I bought all the notion type supplies, ran home and whipped out that snap setter, because the wicked little snaps had me curious about the point- I couldn't imagine using points near a baby. It smashes! I love it. When you squease the plier, it puts a target design on the now flat end of the snap. They look so professional.
I will blog about the making of my little newborn diapers as I do them. I'm so excited. Anyone who knows me knows I have been a baby nut since I was at least two. Diapers were always at the top of my list.
