 It has been very very quiet for quite some time now around here as it has been far too difficult for me to keep up with website, social media, sewing, blogging, working, mothering and life so I have let it go unmanned and unposted on for quite sometime.  For me this has been hard, because I love to blog, I love to look back at what I have done and have a bit of a record of my sewing progress

This week's Freebie will be as follows :) For every All In Two Nappy purchased, you will receive a free snap in booster pad. (it already comes with one too, so you will have an extra one on hand for when the shell is dry before the booster!)

September is usually a big month for us. There's a few reasons, such as the nappy hunt, the cloth nappy expo in Casey, we come out of general hibernation as springtime hits and its more inviting to head to markets, and usually reusable nappy week is on during the month also. So in light of all of this, I thought, what a better time to celebrate and have decided to run a promotion for the month

That's right, it is nappy hunt time again! Be sure to head over to their site and register to hunt so that you can have a chance of winning some of the awesome prizes! We are sponsoring the hunt again, and having a huge 20% off at the website (excluding bulk packs) and also running a promotion called Freebie Friday!  (More info on freebie friday will be on our facebook page and then again

As I said last week, I had some lovely time off and actually ended up doing some baking. These little cheesecakes were really yummy and I was aided very much when making them by a new pan I bought from the general trader. How awesome is that? The bottom just pops up and your little cake doesn't get ruined from turning it out. ( I have smashed many a cake this way! ) The pan also

Today I am finalizing a mending job for a lovely lady I met through the Australian Nappy Network. It's okay Katrina I haven't forgotten you, the elastic in your nappies is nearly finished!! I am also working on some of those things I said I would do for my week off. I bought this pattern a couple of years ago at the op-shop, its an old spotlight "get creative" pattern.  Its a

A few photos from the market in Bulleen on Sunday. It was a great day out and I was so pleased to have been involved with a gorgeous market day at Fairy Floss. Thanks again to Kirsty and her family for another fantastic day!

Yeah there is a little of that going on around here...  The Sew-jo is returning very very slowly, but returning just the same. Hopefully some nice new products will be on their way soon! Stay tuned tomorrow for some market wrap - up!

Catching up on some of my latest projects... I said the other day that I haven't really done much sewing lately. Mostly because its calisthenics season, meaning that all I get time to sew is costumes. This year's costume challenge for me was a hippo. It was a big challenge, but certainly not as difficult as last year's alien! Miss Ruth thinks its pretty awesome and she looks very cute

I'm Playing my guitar tonight. There's something exhilarating about singing along to a song for me. It releases everything inside and I truly express myself. It's like riding a roller coaster! If I am ever sad, my guitar and singing will help.  Car is 100% packed for the market tomorrow, can't wait! Master 2yo has had gastro for 2 weeks and Miss 6yo came out with red spots / blisters last

Yeah I'm sure a lot of you guys have lately been thinking this of me! I have actually been the opposite, VERY VERY BUSY. Which is my current excuse for not blogging, not sewing, and not being social in general.  I recently moved on from my job at a great little coffee shop at one of the Universities and took on another "full time" job which I thought was going to help me out in the $$

I am fairly sure that I have pretty much come to a decision as to what I will be doing for the hottie challenge.  I was talking to a customer at work the other day about how I watch more kids tv than soap operas and when I was musing such things I decided what I will be doing for my hottie! I have a couple of days off work so I'm hoping to get it completed by the end of the week :) Hope you have

I have been busy working on a wetbag design for a while now. It's taken me a while to pull my finger out on this one but at the beginning of the year I made one for Master 2yo to take with him to daycare so that they could put a whole days' worth of nappies in there to go home to be washed.  I have always designed my products on things that I cannot live without.  My nappies were designed to

I discovered Wordle today... Basically, it creates funky looking word clouds for a piece of text that you input, isolating key words and such. I decided to see what it would look like using the WeePantz Homepage text, see if Im getting the point across. Apparently Nappies is my most dominant word... this is a good thing!  You can play with the colours and fonts and shapes and make your word cloud

That thing I have been stitching away on for the last week is finally complete, and it is just too darn cute! Take a look at the gorgeous custom named nappy I made for my little man! Its got gorgeous designer fabric from the front, beautiful dark charcoal minky through the body of the nappy, and a gorgeous embellished back panel. Yep! All of those letters are hand stitched with blanket stitch

Today I have lots of things I should be doing but I can't be bothered. I would much prefer to laze around watching tv, surf the net, cuddle my kids and drink hot drinks... Miss 6yo is proactive enough to be doing her homework. I've done 2 loads of washing and I am sitting looking at fabric from across the room. I'm also starting to read Martha Stewart's book called "The Martha

A DESPERATE NEED FOR NEW CLOTHES!! As I mentioned the other day, I have been on a diet since November. I didn't tell anyone about going on a diet, I just decided it was time to lose weight. I have always been overweight. I had serious spinal surgery at the age of 12 so I wasn't really allowed to do sport as a teenager, and the love of chocolate, lollies and cake along with lack of exercise made

Today, as I mentioned yesterday, I am being lazy and enjoying my beautiful kids. I got to sleep in until midday!!  I never sleep in, and when I do I am usually up by 9, but I am so refreshed and grateful that I got a lovely rest. In fact I am still in my pyjamas. I got presents as well which was nice. So when I rose from my beauty sleep, I received 2 beautiful cards made by the kids while I was

This weekend is going to be a lazy one with Mothers Day being tomorrow, I intend to spend the day playing silly games with my babies and relaxing with them. This is if they play along, I did mention to Miss 6yo that I wanted breakfast in bed, and she promptly looked at me with a screwed up face and said;  "Mummy... why would you want to eat breakfast in your bed??!!??!!"... My answer... "I'm not

A little update on what's been going on around WeePantz H.Q. lately.  I have been very busy sewing nappies for the stocking that I had on the website the other day. (of which there is still stacks of stock left **hint hint**).  I've made a bit of this... and this... And have added a few more basics colors to the regular range.  I've been spending alot of time being mummy, making lots of

Tonight, in my space, I have the pins out and am doing the final piecing together of a custom order from the market last week. I am loving how it looks, and can't wait to hear what my customer thinks when they receive it.

Since I last posted that is... I have, since going back to work, been very slack with my online commitments. I haven't stopped though. Not that I think anything ever could, and I've been doing life of sewing, a few markets and also rearranged my work room the other week in attempt to contain all of that stuff I've got laying around for weepantz. I've been very busy mothering my 2 beautiful kids,

A lot of you might know (or not) about the Cloth Nappy Hunt that happens bi-annually here in Australia. How it basically works is you register for the hunt and then during the month of March you hunt around sponsors' stores looking for the much coveted hunt icon and click on it. There are various prizes for collecting icons that are distributed daily. Basically you have to be the first person to

Today I am very busy working on some customer orders and some stock for the Fairy Floss Market in St Kilda on Sunday. Due to still being alone... I have lots of time to work which is lovely.  I have been spending the last few hours working on a custom nappy for a customer. It was a tough muse, but I think it is finally coming together. Just a little sneaky peek there.  Now I'd better get back to

I hope its me!! WeePantz has been nominated (and not even by me!! :p) in the Babble Best Cloth Diapers List.  I feel stoked that someone else has nominated me, and would love it if you could all spare a few seconds to find me on the list and vote for me also :) Thanks very much!

I feel like I am a day ahead of myself today as my market is tomorrow rather than on Sunday this week so I am busily cutting, snapping, sewing and re-threading. Okay so the re-threading I am really procrastinating as I have to re-thread the upper looper on my over locker with Wooly Nylon... ugh not an easy task!  (okay so it doesnt look like there are many bibs here, but trust me, there are!)

Ever since I had Oliver I have never been alone... I am forever chasing children, telling them to stop doing what they are doing, and trying to mould them into little human beings and even when I am left without them for a short time, I generally spend time thinking about when I have to get them back. Today, however, I am alone... Oliver started childcare today.  I was intent on starting him in

February is the month that I celebrate WeePantz' Birthday. 2 years ago this month, I set off on what I didn't know at the time would be one of the most difficult, but rewarding ventures I have ever done in my life.  I have learned many things in the last 2 years.  I have learned how to be more accurate when I am sewing.  I have learned a lot about cloth nappies! I have learned to manage money

After not doing a market for a whole month, I am really looking forward to tomorrow's Monkey Markets in Eltham, but I also have alot of work to do to get ready such as re-washing and pressing my table cloth, and as I discovered this morning, pressing my bibs. After sitting in a box for a few weeks they were pretty crumpled, so today I am VERY thankful for my

A few days off here this week, I've been busy being a mama and girlfriend as well as cleaning and getting ready for our new couch which was handed on to us from Mick's sister on Wednesday. We got together with some of our family on Australia day and had a BBQ, in true Aussie style. We had sausages in white bread with tomato sauce, gorgeous marinated rump steak which was massive and delicious

This weekend is an incredibly long one in our house. Mick is a tradie so he has Saturday through Wednesday off for work so I decided that yesterday I would relax as well.  As its my first market of the year next Sunday, I thought I might relish in my last weekend off, since I have finished my orders for the week :) So yesterday afternoon, I traced off and cut out this pattern, whilst watching

I just wanted to update to everyone about the auctions #1 and #2 that I am hosting to raise money for the Premier's Disaster Relief Fund. An update about the finishing time. As a lot of us were finishing our auctions at midnight, Toni has recommended that we finish them a little earlier so that if our bidders were watching the auctions, they could until the last minute :) So my auctions will now

Since having my new oven installed earlier this week, I have spent some time rekindling my love of baking as well as getting to know my new oven! I made raspberry and white chocolate muffins on Tuesday as well as roasted some chicken pieces that night. I made a quiche for the kids' lunch on Wednesday, which served as a hot lunch for Mick yesterday at work. Yesterday I made some muesli bars from

I've been spending a lot of time sitting at my kitchen table the last few days with this view... I've been sitting and watching the kids play while I sew, like I said last week, and it is really proving to be quite productive.  I've had a few orders, and with my first market for 2011 being next week I'm fairly busy. So the kids have a movie or some music on, get to play with their toys and

Firstly... Don't forget to bid on the auctions! Links over on the far right side bar! You might remember that a little while ago, I found a button on the ground at the market... Not long afterwards, my sister came to visit me and turned it into a beautiful flower which I proceeded to leave on my bench... (I'm so very organised... :-| ) Anyway, I was tidying up yesterday and found it so I turned

I had mentioned to a friend that I had intercepted some calls and eavesdropped so I knew there was something coming and thought it was for my sewing room... BOY WAS I WRONG!!! On Saturday afternoon, my lovely boyfriend called me into the other room and there stood a new oven

Tomorrow is the day (well tomorrow afternoon or night) I will be putting up the auction for the flood appeal. So I am working very hard at creating some super gorgeous sets that will be auctioned off... A bit of a sneak peek here. I am working on 2 designer nappy sets. One for girls, one for boys. I am also gazing today at the flowers that turned up on my doorstep yesterday evening from my mum,

Today I am continuing on with orders from stockists as well as some from friends. And I am also preparing some nappies with matching accessories for the auction.  I am busy creating time for myself to actually get work done during the school holidays. I feel like every time I go into the sewing room I cant really supervise the kids properly as they are in a completely different room with doors

A few notes for all of you who are awaiting to see what I will be auctioning! I will be doing 2 auctions that will start on Sunday night.  Both of the auction items will be things from the shop for babies. One auction will be girlie things and the other for boys.  The auction will be included in Toni's master list that will be uploaded to her blog on Sunday Night. For all of you who are in flood

The devastating floods in Queensland over the last few weeks have been very close to my heart as not only did I grow up in Emerald, one of the towns that was heavily affected by the floods 2 weeks ago, I am sitting anxiously as my Brisbane based family is watching the water levels rise.  So many people have been affected and I have read countless stories of people returning to their homes to

I made some of these up last year but never got around to posting them on the website, so as of today they are available to purchase online. I am in love with this fabric. It is so soft, so fluffy and absolutely gorgeous.  These nappies are available in both the All In One & All In Two styles and all 3 of the WeePantz Sizes. The inside of these nappies is made from microfleece, absolutely soft

My stockist Misty from Fluffy Buns is having her grand opening today! And from now until the 30th of January there is some great savings and special offers to be had on her website :) The best saving she is offering is that if you buy 3 WeePantz Minky AIO Nappies you will get a free Bib! She is also offering a 5% discount on all orders over $50 when you use the code "grandopening" at the checkout

So 2011 has officially begun for me as WeePantz re-opened yesterday. Img Source I made the decision, after receiving some gorgeous stationary for Christmas, that I will use my new items to organise myself better, because of course if you don't use your stationary then you will never be able to buy more. Stationary, as I have before let you know is one of my great loves, so if I were unable to buy

Finally, we are back from our 2 week break away in Queensland. It was great to catch up with family and oh my my children were AMAZING!! They didn't whinge about being in the car, and were so well behaved.  I am still amazed as to how a 2 year old and a 5 year old didn't drive me completely insane with whinging and whining on a trip that was 2 full 12 hour days each way! It was an interesting

Tomorrow I will be heading into Morabbin to the Monkey Markets. This will be my last market for 2010, and there will be some absolutely gorgeous stall holders, including myself, there is about 79 stalls!! Definitely something for your last minute Christmas gifts. One of these things would be my gorgeous blanket and nappy sets... great gift for a new bubba... or one of these luscious red minky

I was just reading Cam's blog, loving the old black and white photos from her childhood, I decided to share my own. (Although I don't think I have any black and white ones...) as you can see, I was a cloth bub too :)  I swear my mother had those cushions until I moved out when I was 18 too. I'm on the right here, doing some serious important reading. And I was super glamorous! and I only

I think it turned out pretty well and she looked super cute at her school christmas carols tonight.  Excuse the flash photography, there wasnt much light about!

Today is my final day of prep for the Fairy Floss Market in Doncaster tomorrow, so I am madly racing around between the many jobs I need to finish.  I have sewn together a bunch of AI2 shells and am currently overlocking the soaker pads. I am amazed at how much quicker it is to make an AI2 nappy, I definitely would be packing it if I had all AIO's to make before tomorrow!! I am also racing

I've recently started selling my nappies to a store called Fluffy Buns. The lovely misty is now stocking my products in her new online store. Head over and check her out!

I swear I am still around among the many things I have to do. Perhaps I am buried underneath the piles of nappies, blankets and bibs that are to be sewn. A piccie of my stall from Friday night to keep you entertained while I find myself somewhere in the to do list ahead of this week's market :)

Whoops! Skipped another day!   I mentioned on Tuesday that I am working on some super secret squirrel things for the markets as gift ideas for Christmas. So that is what has been happening in my creative space lately. Lots of sewing, cutting, and thinking of what I am going to do next! LOL! I have made the decision to go with a little something that looks a little like this... I will be making

So I have been MIA the last 6 days. No excuse other than busyness, markets and fighting off the millions of snails in my back yard whilst I ripped out an entire garden bed in preparation for a veggie garden. I DO have some very secret squirrel thinks that I am thinking about for Christmas which I will reveal later in the week.  I went to the Nappy Expo on the weekend. My stall was right next to

Today is Sew Up Wednesday. So I am currently TRYING to sew some things up! But right now I'm still cutting.  Does anyone else just get sick of cutting? I have cut for the entire day today, soakers, microfleece, PUL for under Minky and I'm about to cut into some more of the cotton from the other day. The best part of my day today was heading into Spotlight. Desperate need for more boy fabric...

Today I'm off to get some xrays done on an old knee injury and also get a checkup of my spinal fusion. Most of you who read my blog aren't aware that when I was 11 I was diagnosed with severe scoliosis and around 11mths after diagnosis I had a spinal fusion with poles inserted so that I would be able to live a normal life.  This morning I was gathering together all of my old xrays (there is a

I thought I would share a photo with you that really amuses me. This photo was taken of Miss Ruth when she was 1 week old, had been home from hospital but a few days and was in her very first cloth nappy. VERY BIG!! I had no idea about the cloth options available to me, in fact they were probably not even being sold yet by most of the sellers that are around today. This photo still makes me

I've just finished getting ready for the market. Now for a couple of glasses of red before a good nights sleep! Sir Oliver decided that last night wasnt one for sleeping, so I am pretty exhausted. Make sure you head into the market tomorrow and grab some gorgeous wares! Until then...

WET!! The rains are here (hee hee that reminds me of the corn ad), so we have opted to hibernate for the day.   I was supposed to get up at 6am, but opted to stay in bed and listen to the rain pouring outside and cuddle my little boy Olly who had joined me at 5.30am. I was booked into the gym this morning and I ditched in favour of cleaning my house and sewing bibs and nappies. Oliver was meant

Okay so I missed another day... more RNW things to do yesterday, but relax everyone, I am back, I am done with RNW for this year :-) Today in my Creative Space I have been cutting, pinning, sewing, ironing, washing and buying fabric for bibs and nappies ahead of Saturday and Sunday. (yes, I realise i am completely crazy organising 2 markets for a weekend, but alas, I thought one of the markets

So I haven't blogged for a few days for Blogtoberfest. I am so incredibly aware of every second, but alas I have been very busy setting up displays for Reusable Nappy Week.  Proof I hear you ask?? Ignore my handbag in the bottom photo. These photos are of the static display at the Werribee library. This is the display at the womens hospital. I will also be running an information session /

Today I made the decision to take the day off from WeePantz. I have been sewing my little heart out lately making nappies and bibs for the various markets I do around. So with an unexpected free weekend I decided to make a dress for Miss Ruth, simply because I haven't done it in a while. As soon as I mentioned that today I was going to make a dress, Miss Ruth's ears pricked. I asked her what

After checking with the bank that the payment went through I decided to call CMA and ask if it was running late. I just started to say that I was a stall holder at tomorrow's market in Werribee Park when the lovely lady on the other end of the phone told me that the market

Well this morning I started cleaning up my creative space, that would be the sewing room, its a complete and utter mess in there most of the time! Sorting out fabric (oh wow! I have so much fabric by the way, I will have to share a photo of that soon) and finding alot of pins! Anyway, I was almost finished cleaning up and was about to jump on the sewing machine and do some nappies when my

It's Sew Up Wednesday again on Crafty Mamas. Last night and today I am (once again) working on a banner for the front of my market tent.  I have already got a big vinyl banner that I bought at the beginning of the year (before logo changes, so I am close to replacing it) which is great for the front of my table at indoor markets etc. But I want people to see who I am from far away. I do believe

Okay... So yesterday, I had my "new post" thinggy open and the strangest of things occurred, I was abducted by aliens and didn't get to post for Blogtoberfest.  (Source) Thankfully, the aliens have now returned me unharmed to my home surrounded by crafty goodness. Now if I can keep those pesky aliens at bay I might be able to get some work done around here :-p

This Blogtoberfest has given me the motivation to actually blog a bit more about what goes on around here. YES, its a mad house for the most of the time as I am ALWAYS preparing for a market and this week was no exception. I didn't, however, spend as much time as usual in the sewing room as it was school holidays and a special man's birthday. But I was ready, after late night sewing and ranting

Tonight I am burning the late night oils and finishing off some stuff ahead of tomorrow's Fairy Floss Market.  I'm really looking forward to being there, make sure you come along and get some beautiful nappies, or some other baby goodies, as Im sure it will be full of amazing things! See you there!

Hello my lovely readers! So today in my creative space I have been cutting out nappies again, nothing too exciting... but I have, however been in alot of discussion in the last few days about how people arrange their home offices / studios. Mine... Hmm... I would like to say that I am AIMING to be organised. I have massive shelves installed and have finally acquired a table that I don't have to

So I've been pretty busy of late, which for me is very exciting and meaning that my little business is growing which I am very proud of, and loving the extra work that I have to do to keep up :) So today at my place there is lots of bibs being sewn. wetbags being pieced together, and alot more larger wetbags being cut out, but I dont have a photo of that! Im getting ready for the market, as you

Over the last few months, I have been talking to a few stores about stocking my products. Today I would like to introduce you to Tippy Toes Kids. Tippy Toes Kids is a gorgeous handmade baby and children's boutique in West Wallsend NSW and stock a number of beautiful handmade items from hardworking Work at Home Parents. I am very excited to be involved with their shop and cannot wait to see how

I thought it best I update you guys with some better photos of the new bibs that I finished off last week. They are a generous size, perfect for newborn babies (as a pop over burp cloth) right through until toddlers who are moving to the self feeding stage and measure a generous 25cm x 50cm (approx). The head hole is very generously sized, and I find that even my big boof head nearly 2 year old

The past few weeks I have been taking part in " "Sew up wednesday on Crafty Mamas on Facebook. This is the first time Ive actually blogged about it... Last week was mending the gaping holes in Mick's work pants... really not that interesting!! The week before... I cant remember... probably nappies... as with most of my crafting of late! Today I have been cutting microfleece. Fun Fun... I also had

I found this button at the market.  It was a very very windy day, and I looked down, and there it was sitting oh so innocently on the ground in front of my table. I did be a very good girl and went and asked all of the other stall holders if it was theirs. After noone came to claim it, I decided it was mine... ALL MINE!! mwahahahahaha... Anyway... I now have this lovely, big button its pretty

So today in my creative space, I am doing alot of nappy sewing, new fabric is such a joy and a refreshing time.  Plus, I am doing this.... knot.... through fabric.... sequin on... bead on... back through and knot... cut.... repeat... Oh the joys of sequining... I've gotta stop feeling bad for not volunteering for sewing duties at school. This one is for the school prep performance and

Today I thought I would share with you all some of the fabric combinations I have decided on for my new spring colour range of nappies.  Note... all of these are girly combos. Boyish ones are to come, I always get stumped when it comes to boy things, but rest assured, there are boy things in the works, just no decisions made yet!! As you can see, they are beautiful, bright and spring-ish. Is

Today was miss Ruthie's first ever calisthenics competition. She did VERY well and was so so very excited about the entire day. She has just told me she wants to go do some more calisthenics now, but I think she is completely exhausted!!! Some photos as promised from the day. I wasnt on the roster for dressing today so I didnt get many, and was banished from the room as every time she saw me,

Okay so I've made no secret for my new disgust for lycra. I have been making costumes for my daughter's calisthenics. To be honest, most of the costumes were done and I had to simply sequin (insert shudders here) and finish them.  One I had to make from scratch. It was without doubt a nightmare. Id never sewn with lycra before, much less made a body suit and to be honest, had the costume simply

Here at our place we have been dreaming of being warm. (well at least I have!) We are looking forward to the icy weather leaving us and having some beautiful spring weather. I don't know if this year I am being extra sooky about the cold, but I really just can not wait for it to be over.  We had sleet yesterday... it was raining and I could see fine ice falling onto my back windows.

All sounds very interesting doesn't it? well I HOPE to have more news on this soon. I also confirmed this afternoon that we will be stocking in a handmade baby shop in NSW as well! very exciting, and I will tell you more as things progress :) Now for the

Image from here I was searching for a picture that shows how absolutely freezing I am this morning. I cant feel my toes! The heater is on, but doesnt seem to be working, maybe I need to crank it some more! Oh and for the record... no, I am not wearing a bikini... I have sufficient masses of layers on!

I am currently the most neglectful blogger in existence. I do have excuses though which I will hopefully be able to shed more light on soon as I have been talking to some stores about stocking WeePantz. And very soon hope to be announcing my first official stockist. I have also been accepted to start selling at a few new markets :) and that is something I am very excited about, but the last few

between old and new... I opened up my brand spanking new snap press dyes yesterday, very exciting for me, as snapping has been at a stand still lately due to having a dodgy (or worn out as you will see below) socket dye. I get asked often how you can tell if your snap press dye set has worn out. So I thought I would be informational for once and give you a looksie at old versus new. I will note

Well.. today is SUPPOSED to be my day off. I have to clean the house, the sewing monster in me has ignored the cleaning for far too long and it has become quite a mess! I have some great ideas floating around in my little head for some new nappies and have some fabric arriving today so that I will have enough microfleece and bamboo to make them! I have also worn out yet another dye set on my snap

Hi Everyone! I just wanted to let everyone know that I started a store on Madeit today. I have listed some of my latest nappy creations on there and I'd really love it if you headed over and had a look at my store. I will also have some of these beautiful nappies, and some other gorgeous creations with me at the Shirt and Skirt Market on Sunday in Abbotsford. I'd like to thank all of you for

Its been a while since I joined in, school holidays are a massive drain on my computer time, I dont get much done online but nevertheless I AM back!! This week I finished setting up some shelving in my sewing room. This means that the space is looking SLIGHTLY less cluttered. I am thinking that I need at least one more set of shelves before the place is going to start looking organsied. Or
