I think you should have a article on cloth diapers and making your own baby food. I think there are some new mothers coming up. Thank you vicki

Do you have the Ideabook? Maryjane has an article in there about making her own cloth diapers. It was the article that inspired me to make cloth diapers for my baby! :D I think you have a great idea though- there are lots of different styles of cloth diapers these days and recipes for babyfood are always great!

That is a great idea. I've CDed all of my kiddos and there is so much more as far as options these days. They've become quite fashionable and not just functional anymore. I even made a business (at one time...I'm not currently selling anymore) out of selling hand-knit wool pants and covers. I could knit something gorgeous for the article. Here is a gallery of some of my wool diapering pants (longies). http://www.flickr.com/photos/23109319@N04/sets/72157608751562615/

Liza Jane, those longies are amazing! Just beautiful!

I would love to see more info on cloth diapers as well!
I borrowed the MJ IDea book from a friend and I don't remember seeing anything on cloth diapers, but it's been about a month since I've looked at it....I hope I didn't miss it...is is really in there????
Hmmmm....
I've been doing TONS of research lately on CD's and the different kinds, and looking for patterns. I'm pregnant with my first right now...and very early in my pregnancy, so I have lots of time to make what I'll need, but I'm still not really sure WHAT I'll need! So, that's why I'm trying to reseach as much as possible....One of my friends used CD's, but that was about 12 years ago. She has been a huge help nonetheless!
I would love any hints, or insight from fellow farmgirls on what worked best for you, or patterns you used, or if you are looking to get rid of your lightly used ones...I'm possibly interested! My girlfriend said she sees them all the time at garage sales and thrift stores, but I never do! I'm going to have her keep an eye open for me! :)
In the meantime, here are a few links that I've found helpful, and I think all of them have patterns included! I just have to pick one to get started on!

Hope this helps some of you, too!
I'd love to hear what other have to say on this topic!

Hannah..this is my favorite site for all things CDs. There is a wealth of info there (like a chart showing the compatibility of detergents with diapers) as well as pattern links and such.
