Yes, you read the title correctly. We have opened our own Better for Babies sewing facility. I am no longer separated by a vast ocean and many months from my diapers being made. Now, I can drive across town and see each Little Beetle as it is born.

We have assembled the coolest, crunchiest sewing team around with a dash of wisdom and ample modern style. There is a creative genius, an experienced pattern maker, and a host of talent with a special eye for colour, fabric and detail.

Production will begin with the new Little Beetle ONE trim (stronger snap configuration, aplix tighter, body trimmer and sleeker) and yes, they will still be made from our super soft organic, fair trade fabric with unbeatable absorbency.

We will also consolidate all of our organic wool production and can finally up hemp diaper production. And yes, there are some new products in the works as well!!

Oh, and I must mention the two big oak trees that shade our facility and remind us of my father who passed away quite unexpectedly on Thanksgiving day. He had been working hard to get our Little Beetle facility up and running. As an electrician by trade, he very carefully and lovingly had our building wired and almost finished. The hours of work he put in were equaled only by the hours he spent running around those trees playing with my kids! We miss him very much.
