A Booty Sweater?!
Let me start off by saying that my local La Leche League leader is just really cool! (Check out her website: Kristin Jayd - belly masks, organic produce, photography…).
She recycles old wool sweaters into the most gorgeous diaper covers… She sells her “booty sweaters” on her Etsy site, Booty Boutique, but check out the one she made for RT (and his Papa, Wolf!):

Too cute, and SO soft!
On a side note about fabrics: I always thought of wool as scratchy, but many wool fabrics are quite soft - apparently it depends on the sheep, how it’s spun, etc.
And furthermore, I also always thought of wool as hot… maybe that’s just because I’ve typically seen it in sweaters. :) Actually, as a breathable natural fiber, it keeps R.T.’s skin much cooler in our tropical weather than the modern “waterproof” fabric diaper stuff we have.
In case you missed it, I am now a huge fan of wool. I tried raiding our local Goodwill for wool sweaters, to learn the “booty sweater” craft for myself, but I guess in this climate people just don’t have ‘em.
If you happen to be cleaning out your closet, remember us!

I LOVE these little booty covers! I don’t have any kids that young, alas…but oh if I did…meanwhile, I rec’d the book I won!!! It looks great! I’ve had time to crack it open a bit, but I’m going to blog it one of these days when I get caught up! Thanks SO much!
