for the locals: wanted {one man's trash is another man's diaper}

{recycled t-shirt diaper via}

am making my own cloth diapers (fitteds, if you were wondering) and would love some supplies that might be cluttering up your house right now! so go check and get back to me. would love to take them off your hands.

flannel :: any old sheets, shirts, receiving blankets, et cetera
towels :: they can be old and raggedy, it doesn't much matter
wool sweaters :: at least 80% wool, the softer the better (like merino or cashmere work nicely)
tee-shirts :: looking for cool old tee's with fun logos or prints

help me make something new and lovely out of something old and no longer needed. my son's cute bum will thank you.

Anna you win, this looks like a lot of work and I am so curious as to how you make these. Maybe when we come home for Christmas we can bring some of Jer's old T's he doesn't use.

mallory, do it! I'm sure jer has some seriously sweet old tee's.

and liz, I don't know how talented or creative I am -- I just have a lot of time to browse the net on my laptop while the wee one is eating all day long... you'd be surprised what you can learn via the internet! :)

I have lots of old white and beige towels you can have!

You must teach me. Aaron only has 3 covers total (all the Thirsties) and it would be nice to have a few more but I'm a tightwad and don't want to spend $$ so recycling old stuff sounds fantastic!

I have a bunch of mis-matched towels I've collected over the years I was about to give to DI so you can have them instead if you need them. I can't believe I still haven't met your little guy so it will be a good excuse to finally come see you guys. Will you be home Sat afternoon?

Hmm. You probably don't want pink cashmere I'm guessing. ;)

I do have an off-white cashmere sweater with a giant navy blue anchor on it. JCrew. It's too short on me now ~ because I'm great at shrinking things in the laundry on accident you know. I'd gladly trade that for some old jeans so I can make H's quilt for his bed! Or, I'll just give it to you anyway!
