ad space



I have been helping someone out with their website and they offered me a small ad space. So here is the ad I have made and hopefully it will bring some people to my store.

bamboo pants






I have been so frustrated recently that I simply cannot find pants to fit my daughter. I admit she is on the chunky side, and very long, but still. The reason is that she wears cloth diapers and pants simply are not designed for that kind of bulk. Either they are too tight around her bottom and ride way too low on her tummy, or they are far too long.
I have been meaning to make these pants for a while but finally sat down one evening last week and made them! I actually got so carried away that the same week I ended up making her some wool pants too (to serve as a diaper cover too, so double duty).
These pants were made from some organic bamboo interlock material I dyed a while ago. The pocket was dyed at the same time but is made from organic bamboo terry for added texture! I am really pleased with the pants and Maia seems to be too. The wide waistband is really stretchy, the rise is great and the material is so comfy and soft against her little legs. I should have made them a little longer, so that there is room to grow. I know to do that next time. The wide leg though means that they will just become cropped trousers which I guess is great for the summer!
