we're opening for customs and making some changes!

we've been closed for customs for quite some time as i've been stocking the store and working on some really large orders that i've had over the past couple of months. today, i am opening for custom orders! just a few things about customs:

1. this is the last time we will be offering sized diapers on a custom order basis. i am overhauling my site and will from now on only be offering newborn, size 1, size 2 and one size diapers. i will still be offering size small sets through etsy, but beyond that, we will be phasing the sizes out [unless there is a huge outcry for sized diapers]. i'm pretty sure sized covers will always be available, unless we find that there isn't a huge demand for them. then the covers will be the same size as the diapers we offer.

2. i am only opening for customs for two days. i have two large wholesale orders that i have to work on and don't want to take in too much work. that typically leads to unhappy customers. orders will be finished in the order they were received AND paid for. if you place an order and cannot pay until later, that's fine - but paid orders will be worked on first. first come, first served, so please get your orders in soon if you want your diapers soon. tell your friends if you know they want to get a custom spot so they're able to get in. it will be at least a month before i open again. maybe longer.

3. custom orders typically take 3-4 weeks to complete. orders that are received quickly will go out quickly. sometimes in less than a week. lots of time, within the same week if they are smaller orders. if you have a question about where your order falls, please email me.

4. if you're looking for size 1 or size 2 diapers and don't see them on my customs site, it's because they're not there yet. if you want these diapers in any form [fitted/lights out/AIO], i can definitely make them for you. i just haven't had the time to get the buttons made and all the info added to the site. please email me at christine@esbaby.net. and don't worry about the first come, first serve. i will take your email [if you say you can pay immediately after working out details] as an order, and will place it accordingly in the custom order list.

5. one size covers will still be available but gussets will be an additional charge because they are a LOT more work than i had thought they would be.

6. see all those pages of swatches? they won't be there the next time around. swatches will be broken into two categories. the good ones, and the ones that are limited [meaning limited quantities and you'll have to pick a back-up from the regular swatches]. and some of them will be gone completely. so if you see something you love, order it now, for it may not return when the store is done being overhauled.

7. we will be offering a new quick dry all in two, so this is the last time you'll be able to order the current type. if you have quick dry all in twos from previous orders, you will always be able to order those inserts by contacting me directly.


please note:
items that you've seen in my instock etsy store that say "special edition" are just that. there will be no more diapers available in that print or fabric choice as i've used whatever print/fabric i have left in those special edition diapers. i know a lot of people have had a lot of interest in the olive colored newborn diapers on my site. if you want those diapers at that price, please buy them now as there will not be any available in the foreseeable future.

esbasic diapers will always be a white knit outer with your choice of color for snaps and serging. organic esbasic diaper sets will always be a layer of hemp/organic sherpa with a mix soaker with your choice of color for snaps and serging.

if you want something with a print, you will need to order the regular esfitted diapers. what's the difference between esbasics and esfitteds? esbasic diapers come with a white knit outer, sherpa inner and are topped with velour. the soaker is sewn together, 3 layers of sherpa and is not topped with velour and is not a quick dry soaker. esfitteds come with a print of your choice. they have a sherpa inner and are topped with velour. the soaker is quick-dry, meaning it is sewn down the middle and flaps open for super fast drying times. it is also topped with soft velour.

i think that's all i have to cover! any questions, please email me. thanks everyone!

upcycled and newborn fitted diapers stocked!

hi everyone! just stocked some really cute newborn fitteds [these are esbasics, thus the reduced price] and some great upcycled diapers. check them out! also, i will very likely be moving everything over to hyena cart as to get the word out a little more. hope you're all enjoying the new things being stocked. i plan on getting some more things up in the very near future. some non-fitted diapers. probably some AIOs. keep an eye out here and please sign up for my newsletter at the bottom of my storefront page.

bag posted on etsy

remember when i posted about making a bag that could possibly be the most hideous bag imaginable? well, it's finally posted on etsy. yes, it's big. is it ugly? not sure. i think i might love it a little.

in other news, i'm still closed for customs and about to stock some esorganic sets. if you're interested in placing large orders, i will likely take those, but at this time i'm focusing on getting the store all stocked up.

esorganic basic sets! and still open for customs

i hope august is treating everyone well! i'm happy to be able to offer esorganic basic sets now. these sets are just like the regular esbasic sets, except they're made from all organic materials. they can be ordered on a custom basis right here. i am also open for everything else still. i'm running at about 2 weeks for turnaround time, but i am catching up really fast, so orders will start moving out more quickly. if you have any questions regarding anything: customs, instock, etc - please email me.

thanks!

update on store stocking and a special donation!

hello everyone!

i know our instock store is looking a little sparse right now, but we've been so busy working on orders, we haven't had the chance to restock.



i've been pretty bad at taking order pictures to post, but i'll definitely try to get some good pictures of the current orders we're working on.

next stocking will be sets in most sizes of our esbasic covers. priced as sets, these covers are cheaper than most covers in the market right now. same with our esbasic sets of diapers - including the one that's in my etsy store. they're even priced cheaper than kissaluvs! and the covers aren't just one layer of PUL. they're two layers of PUL, shiny side away from your baby, and are bound in colorful super-soft foldover elastic. we're still offering 2 small sets of three pick your color covers right now. they all come with a small pocket in the front - great for placing prefolds in.



if you haven't done so already, please sign up for the newsletter at the bottom of esbaby's custom store page. there's a box at the bottom that says 'newsletter sign-up'. just enter your address and click, and you'll be added to my database. i will be sending out some coupon codes in the near future for instock discounts. i'd like to clear out the store a little to make way for some new products. mostly our one size quick dry all in ones - side AND front snapping. and some new covers [how do we feel about gussets?]

lastly, but not least, esbaby is donating enough diapers and covers to a local program called "starting together" to help three local families cloth diaper their babies. we purchased snappis, infant and regular prefolds [45 pounds worth!] and enough covers to keep their babies in cloth from newborn to potty learning. i'm prepping the prefolds as i type this, and the diapers/covers will be ready to go out next month. esbaby is also donating some 2 size covers as well [a pattern i'm working on currently]. if you have any used diapers or covers that you'd like to part with, and want to send them this way, i would be more than happy to pass them on to starting together. please contact me at christine!@!esbaby.net for more info. for the next two weeks i am offering a special promotion - for every donation you send me, i will give you a free shipping code, good on instock and custom orders in my store. offer ends december 7th.they more cloth they receive, the better. that way, more families will be able to put their babies in cloth - saving them money, and our landfills from disposable diaper waste. don't worry if diapers need repairs - i can easily make repairs to diapers that need them.

starting together is a very important program to me. when i became pregnant with my daughter at the age of 18, i enrolled in the program. a family support worker started making weekly visits to my house, while i was pregnant to discuss what to expect when it came to childbirth, breastfeeding, etc. she was also very helpful in advocating for me when my daughter was born 5 weeks early and was in the NICU in syracuse, ny. she helped me make the contacts i needed to obtain a breast pump, and was there for me emotionally, which was extremely helpful being a young single mother. my family support worker visited me on a weekly basis until my daughter was three - and when i got pregnant with my son, i started seeing her again. through her i spread the word about cloth diapering, and when i worked as a chapter for miracle diapers, we were able to supply some families in the program with cloth. it felt great to give back to a program that helped me and my children so much. and i hope some of you out there will be willing to pass something along as well! [local moms- i will pick up any donations/ moms who i've given free diapers to in the past - it would be great if you could re-donate those diapers either back to me or another family in need please!]

thanks for reading and enjoy your thanksgiving week!

"hello, baby!" custom sets listed on etsy!

hello everyone!

i've had a few requests to do my "welcome home, baby!" sets in bigger sizes, so now is your chance to buy these reduced price sets. i am only going to offer a couple in each size, so get them while you can! [that link takes you to the mediums, but there are med long and larges in stock as well].

each set comes with 6 esbasic diapers and 3 lights out covers. esbasics are made of a white knit outer, hidden layer of sherpa, which is topped with natural cotton velour in the diaper body. the soaker is a 3 layer sherpa soaker that snaps into the diaper body for fast drying times and longer diaper life. lights out covers are composed of an outer colored layer of PUL and an inner layer of white PUL. all bound with white fold over elastic. snaps, thread and PUL colors are [as always] made to match the diapers.

you pick color scheme [gender neutral, boy, gir] and front or side snapping for the diapers and covers. i will choose what colors will go into the set. just let me know if there are any colors you want to avoid when ordering.

thanks!

"welcome home, baby!" sets listed

i just finished up three "welcome home, baby!" fitted cloth diaper/cover sets. each set comes with 6 newborn size fitted cloth diapers and 3 covers. the gender neutral set comes with 3 lights out [overnight] covers, which are great during the day as well. the girl and boy sets come with two lights out covers and one eswrapping cover. these fitteds are from my esbasics line. they're trim and have 3 layer soakers.





i took a little more time with these sets though, in that i matched up the inner and outer serging thread on the fitted diapers to their covers and snaps. i think they look pretty great.








also, yesterday i stocked a size small amy butler midwest modern wetbag that turned out pretty well!

a little box of fluffiness

just some things i've been working on here. still sewing and cutting like crazy to get ready for the ithaca show may 31st. then, maybe i'll open up for customs or just post some in-stock things. we'll see.

esbasics!

available now!

esbasics are a more affordable choice for parents new to cloth, or for parents who have already made the affordable, environmentally conscience decision to cloth diaper their baby [or babies!]. these diapers are constructed of two layers of fluffy 90/10 cotton sherpa in the body, and 3 layers of the same material in the snap in soaker. newborns and smalls will run $8 a piece, while medium, medium/long and larges will run $10 a piece. when i offer them in batches of 6 or 12, they will be discounted further. i'm going to offer them as an in-stock item now, but will add them to the customs roster over the next couple weeks.
