If you ever make AIO's/AI2's or pockets, let me know... I could be in trouble fast with prints like those!!

I make pockets as my business. The stuff I made here was more for fun. I can't make them fast enough to actually make any sort of respectable profit off of (basically I make 1-2 dollars an hour making fitteds. Lol). The pocket in my siggy is the design of my pockets (I made that one).
Hehehe

Omg those are adorable!
Are you willing to make me one or two diapers that fit a Build a Bear? My dd loves changing dipes, but the plastic ones are too cheap. If so, let me know how much you'd want for them.

You *almost* make me want to try cloth. I just don't know how I'd keep up with the laundry since I can barely keep up with what I have now...

I'm guessing a preemie size? I'd want at least two, maybe three...depending on the price.
I thought you were already thinking about trying cloth? Just do it! Once you jump in with both feet it's totally easy! You just can't be afraid of cloth or it doesn't work!

I have 2 preemie/nb sizes. What would you say the "weight" of Teddy is? Closer to 5 lbs or 8? I'm thinking the 8-14lb pattern would be best if I am picturing the right build-a-bear. And $10 each shipped. I can do Velcro or snaps?

I am..I was..I mean I am. Yup. I'm scared of it.
More of the zillions of selections out there. And then there is the diaper pail and the HE washer...and what do I do when we are out and about. And I just need someone to say "here is what you need to buy." and "here is exactly what you do" and be done with it. I work well like that. WhatAboutPuppy

I can totally make you a days worth of whatever style you think you'll like. Even if you started slowly (you'll get addicted) and only did cloth at home, or part of the day, or every other day it would give you an idea and once you were comfortable you could go full time, on outings. I wish I could help with the HE washer but I have no experience (I WISH my washer was that nice lol). I think all-in-ones are the easiest... But they're sized so you'd need to buy each size and sell when they're outgrown (try that with sposies hehehe). I could make them fast drying.
Ask questions!! I want to answer!!

Yes, now that I have totally derailed your thread, I have no idea what I want! I need something that is user friendly and cute. The all in ones are tempting because of less steps but I don't think that is the most cost effective way to go because I suck at selling stuff. I have a whole pile of stuff in the garage to sell through various sources. Besides myself, it would also be dh and our nanny that change her diapers. She is rather skinny (although most of her pants are staying on now ) with not a lot of butt. She is 27" long but only 14 pounds so sizing on a lot of things throws me off.
I do want to try. I get so excited when I see cute covers/diapers or pictures of lots of colors hanging out to dry on the line. Then I get scared of the diapers again. What do you do for a diaper pail? Do I need to rinse the diapers before I put them in?

Meh, you're helping it stay on top without me having to bump.
First off... cloth will give her a butt! hehehe
Do you want something that's user friendly for you? Or them? Cuz pockets are easy for others, but whoever washes and preps has to stuff them and un stuff them... But, as far as I'm concerned, I sell them for the same price so that doesn't help. lol
Really and truly, your cheapest option is something like Flips. Easy to wash, you will need to stuff and others can pull it off the shelf and put it right now, the prefold is held in place by the design of the cover.
Cloth diapers fit better... the elastic is real, and anything one-sized will fit her because she's not a noob or large toddler. Make sense?
My diaper pail? A large hanging diaper bag made of PUL... Seriously, once you start using cloth you will realize they don't smell as bad. The urine isn't mixing with chemicals... And since you wash every other day or so, it really doesn't smell as badly. I never rinsed first... When I threw them in the wash I ran a hot rinse cycle before the wash (then another rinse or two) but not like when I took it off... most poo (even the not hard stuff) pretty much shook off into the toilet (where it belongs, not the trash under the sink... something that never grossed me out until a month or so after starting to use cloth, all of a sudden the thought of literally throwing away poop grossed me out bad!).
Keep asking! lol Especially if I missed something you already asked.

PUL? I can do carseat abbreviations, but the diaper ones have me stumped!
Flips? Is that a prefold and cover? Sold separately? I've been pointed in the direction of diaper swappers, but there are so many brands and names thrown at me that I just get confused and frustrated. And then keep on getting her 'sposies.
Since cloth is bulkier, will it still work with onesies and one piece rompers and stuff? (It might make her finally outgrow the 0-3 month onesies in her drawer though!)
I think I would prefer something that is a one size. I don't think I'll mind so much stuffing because it is a mindless activity that I can do in front of the tv. (Or teach our nanny to do. )
What is the minimum to start with just to try it out? I don't want to buy a bunch and have to resell later if it just isn't working for us. (See previous post about me sucking at selling stuff.)

For my pail I use a garbage can and a [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Kissas-Antibacterial-Pail-Liner-White/dp/B0037NXP18/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1303881233&sr=8-1"]pail liner[/ame].
I started with prefolds and covers. Cottonbabies.com has at try-it-kit I started with that and ended up really liking it enough to put more money into it.
Or you can do something like this.
Really though, even just ordering one or two and trying them out will let you know how easy it really is. Some people use disposables when they go out, some don't. That's the fun of cloth, you can use it how and when you want!

PUL is the waterproof layer, so a cover basically... Polyurethane Laminate. I'm sorry, I will keep it simpler! lol And diaper swappers is overwhelming. I've posted there a LOT and I still don't like them... They seem to be very unwilling to answer a beginners questions and I couldn't stand that.
Here's the Flips.
I like Tumble's advice...
I started with gDiapers about 3 years ago and one thing led to another and here I am... gDiapers were my gateway drug. hehehe
