NEW!! Dual Function Nursing Cover System with Removable Cover and Adjustable Neckband. ....

Something totally new for Botanical Bebe!  This multi-functioning Nursing Cover idea was first proposed by the lovely people at Matraea Mercantile http://www.matmercantile.ca/ and it was a really good one... our biggest challenge in this whole enterprise was finding the right clips... and yup I ordered up 3 other kinds that I thought would work... but sadly just didn't hold up... ha ha!  And sometimes the tried and true are indeed that... some of you may recognize the clip style you see on children's overall and adult suspenders- just the smaller version of course... and boy do they ever work well.  I hope you like this idea too!






Details and how it all functions are posted on both the website and on Etsy:

The Nursing Cover System is $30 and the SOON to be added selection of Nursing Cover "refills" ! will be $20 ea.

OK, so I am seriously in love with these tiny Birds....

I am pretty sure that there is going to be a lot more of these little guys showing up on just about everything... and here is a sneak preview of a new Travel Set of Wipe-Up Cloths and Small Receiving Blanket... perfect for baby-on the-go!!


These will be posted on both Etsy and our website tomorrow... plus a whole lot of other new things....

More Change Pads and Zippered Wet Bags Coming tomorrow.... little Birds, oh ya!!

Butterflies and Tiny Birds......
Had to leave the Studio before I finished these today, but they are first on the list for tomorrow....




Expect to see more Kimono-Style Sleepsacs!!

I know, these aren't my favourite item to sew up, BUT I now have a wonderful assistant who does these with extreme care and attention... and she's fast too!  So this allows me to print, print, print while she sews, sews, sews and we have quite a lovely time doing both....

Here are just two of the new ones:





And of course they have matching Receiving Blankets!

New Year's New Motifs and Products!

I am very pleased with the new Change Pad and Wet Bag Sets! I loved the first ones we did featuring just the stylized Botanical Bebe Leaves, but I thought they needed something extra... and now they have it!  These are the first group and I am very pleased with them...

The Change Pads have 3 Layers: Printed Organic Cotton Top, white PUL middle layer (see below for description of PUL) and cuddly soft natural flannelette for the "baby layer" At the end of these photos you will find a photo showing the three layers before they are sewn together....

                                                                                                                 




So what is PUL?  Good question! and here is a short description of this pretty great fabric.....
PUL, (polyurethane laminated fabric),is a reliably waterproof fabric that is lightweight, stretchy and extremely durable. This is the fabric that is most often used as the outer layer on re-useable cloth diapers... in all those great colors!! 

This fabric is used in the medical field where a waterproof barrier is needed and can be autoclaved at the very high temperatures needed for sterilization,without adverse affects.

And this is what it all looks like inside the Change Pad and the Zip Bag:
