I’m really excited about this entry. You see, there are two things I really love and enjoy – cloth diapering and handcrafted things.

Cloth diapering is fun, environmentally friendly, and cute. Kids make the perfect models for the cutest prints…but so do wetbags! I love wetbags. I collect wetbags, okay?

My favorite one was made by Michelle of SMJAE and has Heather Ross’s “Goldfish in Bags” print. My mom’s dryer ate it up when I was in Houston but before that, I carried it everywhere. I had planned on using it as a mama cloth bag when Noah was potty trained so needless to say, I was heartbroken when it got chewed up and spit back out by the Dryer of Doom!

Michelle was wonderful though and offered to make me a replacement. I was so sure I wouldn’t be able to get that print again that I was overjoyed to hear she could do that for me. Her wetbags are truly Quality; deserving of a capital Q. They have never wicked for me, the sewing is sublime and her collection of fabrics are adorable.

On top of that, her customer service is incredible. She’s always been quick to respond to my emails, very sweet and keeps the lines of communication open from start to finish. She obviously takes pride in her work, which makes me take pride in being her customer. I absolutely recommend her to anyone and I have left raves on many diapering sites, like the Diaperpin. (That’s what I do when I’m a happy customer.)

Now, she’s been so generous as to sponsor a giveaway for my blog (and blog readers). If you’re not a cloth diapering parent or your kids are potty trained, don’t go away! This may still apply to you.

The Giveaway: A custom slot for a 10″ x 12″ wetbag. That is perfect for mama cloth or diaper bag size (or both, if you’re like me)!

Don’t want to wait? Look through Michelle’s stocked wetbags or purchase your very own custom slot at her store, Sewing Mom Just Accessories Etc. She also sells cloth wipes, mama pads and diaper inserts, so check it out!
