Sew Crafty Baby Review and Giveaway

Another awesome store that I want to highlight for everyone here – is Sew Crafty Baby.

Jennifer from Sew Crafty baby started out making Baby Leg Warmers to go along with her babies cute cloth diapers – and then started selling them, which turned into selling many other items, including cloth diapers!

She still makes and sells the leg warmers on her site, and tries to keep several hundred styles in stock so that you have awesome choices!  She’ll even make custom sizes if you have tiny babies that you want to get some leggings for, or if your babe has extra chunky thighs or is a bit older and taller.  They are also made in a variety of fabrics that you can choose from as well.
I wish they weren’t such a girly option, because I’d love to get some to protect my crawling boy’s knees or my potty training boy – but I just don’t think my hubby would approve.

I had mentioned to her before starting our cloth diapering that we loved the “idea” of having a cover and changing out the inserts, therefore making ‘less work’ for us.  The idea sounded great…

After we <my husband> started our cloth diapering, I emailed Jennifer again that we were having night time issues – and that someone (I believe it was Kim Rosas from Dirty Diaper Laundry [we were chatting at BlogHer]) had mentioned that we should try a fitted diaper for night time.  So I passed the information along in an email to Jennifer, and she sent along a few things.

So She sent along a flip diaper and insert along with a Thirsties Fab Fitted.  You know how I feel about the Thirsties Fab Fitteds…  But the Flip Diaper – I’m not terribly fond of.

See.  Although to me the idea sounds awesome, it just hasn’t been very practical for us to have an insert only diaper.  Every time I have used an Insert only diaper like this (and we have a few) I’ve gotten either leaks, or we’ve had to wash the liner anyway because the poop went outside of the insert area – or the insert generally gets wrinkled up inside the liner and looks and I imagine feels funny.  So.  It might be for some people, but just not for me.

The other thing she sent along, was a sample packet of her Bee Green wipe solution cubes!!

Now. I don’t use cloth wipes

BUT! If I did, I’d use these little cubes – they smell, amazing.  Lavendar Apple is my favorite.  I had a lesson from Jennifer on how to use them, and still have yet to pull out our stack of baby wash rags from the baby boxes (I put them away because we had like 30 wash rags.. and we clearly don’t need that many for bath time) to give them a try.  Soon Though – we’re running out of wipes.

Going back to information about the Sew Craft Baby Store – In particular, Shipping.  Her shipping policies are awesome.

(Almost) Always Free!!

Priority shipping costs extra, and insurance is always recommended – but she has had to make a few exceptions in regards to shipping to Canada, which I think are totally livable and still better than most stores.  She charges $2 for shipping to Canada should the order be under $25, and $3 if the order is under $45.  Above $45, the shipping is still FREE!  I think many Canadians can appreciate of this, tremendously!

    I would probably buy some size 2 thirsties duo wraps – my DD is going to be outgrowing her size small & size 1’s soon, and these are the best! Or an OhKaty diaper – bought two used ones after your review, and they are great!

  18. LeashaE says

    I would either buy a set of the Lil Joeys or stock up on wipes solutions and get a new fitted diaper!

  35. April G says

    Yay! SCB is my very favorite store to buy cloth diapers and accessories from! I would buy some more CJ’s BUTTer for my little ones’ bums, as well as one of the new BumGenius diaper prints!

  57. Sissy says

    I think I would buy a Bottom Bumper diaper to try – baby is growing out of her Kissas. scrane @ videotron . ca

  346. Valerie says

  353. Cyndi says

    I will be buying cloth diapers (haven’t decided which ones yet) and more CJ’s BUTTer. I already like Sew Crafty Baby on Facebook, and now I like Grinning Cheek to Cheek. I’ve been quite pleased with Sew Crafty over the past year. She offers great products, reasonable prices, great discounts/giveaways, and great shipping.

  367. JennyOH says

    I’m in the market for trainers (HOORAY)…the Eco Posh Recycled Organic Training Pants look pretty sweet.

  392. Hillary Fink says

    I am a big fan of Sew Crafty Baby. Great customer service and I love the variety of products she offers. If I won this giftcard I would likely order some Softbums inserts and some CJs. Thanks for the giveaway!

  446. Amylynn says

    I would for sure buy a Thirsties fitted in size 2. I’m not sure what else! The dryer balls look great, so maybe one of those. 🙂

  525. Raquel Beaty says

    I think I would buy a BottomBumpers side snapping diaper and another Thirsties Duo Snap wrap or some of their prefolds to add to my small collection of AWESOME Thirsties products!

  547. Melynda Rainsbarger says

    I would get the Cloth Diaper TRIAL PACKAGE I need to figure out what cloth diapers I like best before I invest in 12 more.

  548. Dolly Acosta says

    I love covers so it would be either a Flip, Thirstie or Grovia for me… How about if I win you pass along those covers you ddidn’t like? 🙂

  587. Monica says

    I think I would try out the baby kicks hemp prefolds and maybe some indian cotton prefolds. I have not tried out the world of prefolds and am curious.

  670. Kellie Hendricks says

    I LOVE Sew Crafty Baby! I would get some new travel wetbags, or prefolds, or a Wahmies diaper, love their prints.

  674. Jodi J says

    I would most likely use the GC to buy another bumGenius Elemental for the upcoming baby (they are amazing and my favorite diaper). I would be tempted, however, to get a pair of the EcoPosh training pants for my toddler. Maybe I’d get both!!!

  793. Betty Jackson says

    Wow, what to pick! I would get a pair of baby legs for sure. I’ve been wanting a pair any way. i would also get some of those scent cubes you mentioned. Those look really neat!

  802. Tondra A says

    I visited Sew Crafty Baby and I would buy the Bee Green Naturals that you mentioned and a rumparooz cloth diaper since I’m new to cloth diapers and I’m trying to figure it all out.

  811. Shannon says

    If I win the $30 from Sew Crafty Baby, I would like to try some wool covers. Not sure which one, but the Tiny Tush Organic Wool Soakers look nice. 🙂

  816. Tabitha says

    I would buy SewCrafty Fuzzy Wuzzy Striped Baby Leg Warmers and the Stripey Leg warmers b/c they are really cute!
    I like the look of leg warmers with cloth diapers! no need to cover up such cute diapers!
