Skyebaby Diapers

So recently... by which I mean, back in August, I ordered from a wonderful woman some handmade cloth diapers. She is the mom of a cute little girl who lives in South Carolina, and her life is FILLED with sewing.  Out of her own home she makes things like cloth diapers, wipes, carseat covers, seatbelt covers, nursing pads, you name it, and she probably makes it.

So in my order this is what I recieved
4 All in Two diapers
1 Hybrid Fitted Diaper
1 travel drawstring wetbag
1 large drawstring wetbag
And since it took her a while to make my order, she also threw in a couple wipes.



So since I gave a review of gDiapers, how could I not give a review of this wonderful woman's work.  This woman, she is a super busy mama, it would seem always working on orders.  She has on facebook about 1300 likes, just to give you an idea of exactly the kind of business she gets.  She'll warn you that orders will take about 4 weeks or so, since her diapers are in high demand.  But I will tell you, they are well worth the wait.

As I mentioned (I believe) in my post about gDiapers, my son is a skinny guy.  As such, it is extremely hard to find diapers that fit him properly.  It seems the majority of diapers are made for the stereotypical chunky baby.  However, this woman has created diapers using a pattern that has as she told me, 'a trimmer fit'.  That means for me, they fit my son GREAT.  I cannot rightly say how they would fit a chunkier baby, however, from inspection, I would think they'd fit a chunky baby great too.

On to the AI2 diapers now.  These diapers are GREAT.  I don't use her soakers, but that simply is because I have a super sensitive baby.  However, I did discuss the issue with her, and she recommended prepping them a little more.  Evidently since her soakers are made with Zorb, they take more prepping.  I did.  And once I did that, it did prove to have better results for my Jaden.  But like I said he is super sensitive.  BUT ignoring the fact that Jaden is sensitive, I have to say, I fell in love with the soakers immediately.  I had yet to see a soaker that could hold so much.  I have a tendency to forget to change Jaden's diaper right away, and of course, that can mean it will leak.  Often times in the weirdest places.  However, I noticed the soakers last a lot longer than even the prefolds I normally use.  I would DEFINITELY recommend using her Zorb soakers.  The diaper itself... Greatest diaper ever.  I use it with my prefolds, not one leak ever.  No redness on my Jaden.  And, like I mentioned before, great fit.  Her diapers are super soft, my son loves them, and its quite obvious he finds them comfortable.

However, my favorite diaper I have is my fitted diaper.  Why?  Well, as I discussed with her, fitteds really are THE diaper for a sensitive baby.  Her soaker in the fitted is bamboo fleece if I remember correctly.  Softest, smoothest, soaker I've ever felt.  But really?  They always tell you, put a cover over a fitted to make it waterproof.  Well one of the things that is great about hybrid fitteds is they are semi-waterproof.  That means, for a certain length of time, it won't, say get your baby's clothes wet without a cover on it.  However, I found that this woman's fitteds were better than that.  I don't remember exactly how long I went with the fitted on the first time.  It was definitely a few hours though, and when I went to change his diaper, I was shocked. I couldn't figure out what the point of me having put the cover over the diaper was.  And when I looked inside, Jaden's skin was not red at all.

But above all, I just have to say, this woman, she really truly understands the value of Customer Service.  She's kind, and she will answer any questions you have, and almost always, immediately.  And she always lets you know the status of your order.  I had a great experience.  I just would like to say, she really knows how to make every customer of hers feel like they are important.

Beyond her customer service skills, she also has really cute prints for her diapers, and if you have a special request, she'll do her best to fill it for you, and if she can't she'll find a way to make it up to you.  I will definitely be getting more diapers from her in the future.  I give her five out of five stars.  If I could give her six or more, I would.  I give Amber Ferguson of Skyebaby Dipes a double thumbs up, a whopping five stars, and every BEST rating one can give.

So thank you again!
