any graphic designers out there want some free diapers?

hi all-
i am currently working on changing the look of the store and logo in my down-time from working on some orders. and because i have almost zero down-time, i'm making a call out to anyone who likes to design these sorts of things to come up with some fresh and new for esbaby. i have a few things mocked up myself, but would love to see what someone with a fresh pair of eyes comes up with. i'll be reviewing submissions and whatever one i like, or decide to go with will receive a $100 in store credit. you can use the credit for anything instock in my etsy store or any custom order for any items - not limited to just diapers. you can email me at christine{!@}esbaby.net with your submissions. i'll keep the offer open until march 1st and will post a blog entry when the winner is announced. feel free to email me with any questions about the design [colors, look of the design, etc], or just have it and see what you can come up with.

thanks!

esorganic one-size diapers, buy one get one half off!

hello everyone!

yes, i am very busy right now working on two very large wholesale orders [details about that to follow in the coming weeks], but i have found time to stock my store with some fantastic organic one-size fitteds. i am offering a 'buy one get one half' off sale on these fitteds.

so here's the deal: pick two of your favorite diapers from ONLY the diapers that are listed as one-size bamboo fitteds or one-size lights out diapers. put them in your cart. go through checkout and enter BUYONE in the coupon code section. this will take a percentage off your order equivalent to buying one organic fitted at retail price and getting the second one for half off.

this sale ONLY applies to the diapers in THIS category. so if you go through the store and decide to buy something else along with your organic one size diapers and use the coupon code, i'll send you an invoice for the products purchased, as their not all on sale.

this is a great offer for those of you who love organic, who love one size fitteds and are looking for a good daytime and nighttime diaper.

thanks!

argh! total snafu with shipping - extended customs and flat rate shipping

hi all-
so when i opened for orders yesterday i had a few people say they were getting outrageous shipping quotes. it's because, for some reason, my USPS modules in my cart aren't working properly right now. so i am going to extend custom ordering until thursday and everyone will receive a flat rate on shipping. $5 per order. no matter how big/small. sorry about that for those of you who tried to place an order!

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!

a note about upcycled/recycled wool cloth diaper covers

recently i decided to make a bunch of upcycled wool cloth diaper covers. usually it comes from the fact that i pull a 100% wool sweater out of the dryer [that hopefully doesn't belong to me] and realize, "well, at least i can make something useful from it." that's exactly how it happened this time. i accidentally shrunk one of my boyfriend's beautiful grey striped j. crew merino wool sweaters. so i took a trip to the salvation army and look for other wool sweaters. i typically look for ones that are past the point of anyone purchasing for being worn: ones with holes in them, ones that have already been felted, etc. i try to find ones with neat designs on them, and always look for the softest wool possible.

i've added doublers to most of these wool soakers, which allow you to customize absorbency/protection. they're perfect for nap time and night time, and when you're using them during the day, you can leave them out. there aren't any snaps, so you're able to position them exactly where you want them.












speaking of upcycled: there's a really cute fitted diaper up for sale right now as well. it's made from an octopus print on navy blue. it's knit, and very stretchy. it's a regular side snapping fitted, serged in red, finished in red snaps. made from cotton sherpa and cotton velour. it's probably one of my favorite fitted diapers that i have listed right now. size medium.





last but not least - i've listed a second. it's a one size fitted cloth diaper with two small holes on the front. theyve been stitched up so they won't fray at all. this diaper will work perfectly fine and it's only $8!



oh, and don't forget: all wet/dry bags are 30% off right now! no coupon code to enter. all of the prices have been adjusted on etsy. there are some great medium and small bags up for grabs. they're perfect utility bags. not just for cloth diapering, but great laundry bags, play date bags, etc.

this is exciting.

on monday 10/25, i'll be stocking etsy with two totally brand new products. i really wanted to start stocking some print all in ones in the store, and to prevent wicking, the best ones to use are quick dry all in ones [QDAIO]. also, i wanted them to be newborn size. well, the only problem with newborn diapers is that babies grow out of them so quickly! so i developed a 2 size diapering system for quick dry all in ones [we'll see how it does and if i make other style diapers in this way]. pictured below is a newborn QDAIO snapped down for the NB size. the next photo is the size 1 diaper snapped up into the small position. it has a nice long rise, is trim between the legs and the soaker shape has been changed to reduce bulk.

i will also be making these in a size 2, which will be a medium/trim long. pictures will follow soon.

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.
