We are pretty uptight about waste around here. With any sewing facility, the generation of fabric scraps and seconds is inevitable. What we do with those can make a world of difference. We’ve been weighing our waste lately and making definite efforts to reduce, reuse and recycle!
Reduction and recycling are daily efforts but what I wanted to share today is how we are reusing.
You probably already know about our patchwork wet bags. These are a great way to use up wool leftovers. And our wonderful seamstresses quite enjoy the opportunity to develop their own colour palette and designs. We were able to mark these down recently in hopes of encouraging more customers to buy items made from reclaimed or recycled materials. (http://betterforbabies.com/diaperaccessories.html)
What you might not know, is how we reclaim velour and turn it into marvelous little organic cotton face rounds. You can find these and more at our new site, www.betterforgrownups.com.

We are overjoyed to announce our new diaper.
Little Beetle ONE! One fabric, one world, organic , fairtrade. This diaper speaks for itself. Three layers of organic cotton velour in the body specially knit for the ONE diaper. Three more layers in the innovative semi-attached and foldable ‘beetle’ booster. Fold to the front, back or lay flat for customized absorbency where your little one needs it most. Even more COOL, the ‘beetle’ is designed so that for heavy wetters or nighttime a doubler slides under and is held secure without snaps or other fasteners.
Use it night or day. Pure and heavenly, the Little Bettle ONE is our best diaper yet and our quickest drying! It will come with snaps, aplix and no closure (yes, this velour is snappiable!!). Sizes 1 and 2. And we are working on a toddler size.
We hope to have a preview sale mid to late April. Make sure to sign up for our newsletter for an announcement.
