Green Acre Designs Review and Giveaway! (and a discount code!)

I have always loved the look of the diapers from Green Acre Designs! They are one of the few diaper companies I have seen that embroider the bottoms of the diapers, and I love it!

A Little bit about how GAD came about...


I started making diapers for my oldest son when he was 10 months. They were not pretty, but they got the job done well enough that I knew with some better materials, they would really work. I got my first Purchase of microfleece, windpro and PUL and got an amazing amount of 13 diapers out of the PUL and Microfleece. These were not pretty either, but they worked! Then I bought a snap press and really started having fun. I loved the cloth diapers, but I hated the way the Velcro scratched his belly, made a diaper snake in the wash and snagged on everything. Once I had the press I started making diapers for friends and selling them too. I was very proud of these diapers, but now I look back and they were still ugly! lol. I made some MAJOR changes to the design with the help of my good friend Mandy. She is one of those great people who can be brutally honest and because of her wonderful constructive criticism GAD was born. Only a few minor changes have been made to the diaper since my web store opened back in May, 2004. The larges got smaller rear ends in January of 2005 (eliminating "Butt Flare") and the mediums & Smalls got smaller wings which gave them more leg room. We also added a new size in 2006, the medium long, it's just great for those tall skinny babies. I also had a baby in December of 2004, so 2005 was a busy year!

Shannon sent me the Medium Long Embroidered Pocket Diaper. It has a royal blue PUL outer, and a red fleece lining, with the "because I'm Awesome" embroidery.


I think this diaper is so cute! It fits Jack well, and we haven't had any problems with leaking.

The inserts are really nice too.
"Our inserts are special because they have a flap that puts 4 extra layers of thirsty hemp French Terry right where your baby needs it. If you have a boy the flap folds up in the front and for a girl it folds to the middle. Our inserts are sewn with an open design so they wash more thoroughly and dry much faster. The main body of the insert is 4 layers and the flap is 4 layers. So you get 8 layers of hemp fleece in the "wet zone". The microfiber inserts are sewn with the same design."



I really like this diaper! And I love the embroidery!
