Exerpt from our latest review......

Quoting Mad Madam Em's Bloggity Blog:

I thought I was going to use cloth diapers. Weeks before Jack was born, I got a load of trifolds, pins and plastic pants. I had one box of disposables. I figured after the first few weeks of really gross poo, I would start using my cloth diapers, just like my mom used on me and my sister. Not. so. much.

So, I started to look into AIO (All-In-One) diapers, specifically handcrafted diapers on Etsy. The Laughing Place caught my eye immediately because of their fantastic fabric choices. I fell in LOVE with this "Space Kids" retro fabric.

The Laughing Place is headed by mom/daughter team Kim and Dana. They have been doing business on the web since 2000. Dana has worked side by side with her mom, Kim, since she was 10 years old. Their store includes adorable embroidered items for baby, as well as these fantastic diapers.

The Laughing Place has been cool enough to offer a giveaway to Mad Madam Em readers! Aren’t you happy you're here? Just head on over to The Laughing Place on Etsy ..................

Free Diapers ?!?!

Too many receiving blankets? Make a couple of dozen of them into great prefold cloth diapers.

Here's how: Cut one receiving blanket down to about 20" x 36"-40". This should give you a second strip about 7" - 10" wide. Fold this narrow strip in half or thirds to about 20" long. Place this down the center of the large piece, as shown: [ [] ]

Fold in the sides of the larger piece about 2/3 of the way across. Overlap them on top of the folded strip down the center, leaving the diaper about 15" across: [ < []>] = [[]]

Zigzag stitch across the top and bottom raw edges of the folded diaper, making sure to catch in all layers. Stitch down the center pad about 1/2" in form the edge of the center pad.

All measurements depend on the original size of the blanket. Don't be afraid to experiment!
