Each Friday, I will post cloth diaper and babywearing giveaways that I’ve found, or that readers have submitted. The post will be accompanied by a linky where you may enter any family friendly (no “adult” products please!) giveaways, they do not need to be diaper related.

If you have a cloth diaper/accessory/babywearing giveaway you would like to be listed in the next giveaway roundup post, please email a link, blog name, giveaway title, end date and photo (if applicable) to maria at change-diapers dot com. I want to keep the featured giveaways to cloth, accessories & babywearing only please.

Kawaii Baby One Size Pocket Diaper Review & Giveaway, Sponsored by Sew Crafty Baby (CLOSED 10/21)

Oct 14,2010 / By Maria / 7 Comments

Sew Crafty Baby is an online cloth diaper and baby leg warmers store. I have a few favorite places to buy cloth diapers, and Sew Crafty Baby is a great one! They have both the big names as well as tons of harder to find brands. They have a kickback program to earn points for the money you spend, and they have an affiliate program. Don’t worry, none of the links in this post are affiliate links; I’m not an affiliate! I actually just discovered the program as I was writing this post! They even have a gift registry!

Best of all, shipping is always free! There’s always an option to pay a little bit extra to bump up to priority shipping, but I love being able to order anything I want without worrying about meeting a $50 (or $75 or $99) minimum for free shipping! Another neat feature is that the site will tell you how many of the item are in stock!

Sew Crafty Baby sent me a Kawaii One Size Pocket Diaper to review, and they’re sending one to one of my blog readers as well!

I’ve been asked about Kawaii quite a bit, and I was as curious as the rest of you. At $9.99 each, they seem too good to be true! I was surprised when I received it; it seems very nice, and reminds me of other big name o/s pocket diapers.

It has aplix closures with laundry tabs, a nice wide pocket, and came with two microfiber inserts.

It is one-size via a snap down rise.

Here is is on the small setting, folded and stretched:

Medium setting, folded and stretched:

Large setting, folded and stretched:

My son is about 18.5 pounds and 30 inches, and fit in the medium setting with plenty of room to spare.

We didn’t have any fit or leaking issues; the diaper has help up wonderfully so far. The real test will be how it wears over time.

Sew Crafty Baby has competitive prices, excellent customer service, a wide selection and of course, the free shipping! They are in my top two stores to check when I’m looking to buy fluff! You can keep up with Sew Crafty Baby on Facebook or join the mailing list to stay up on new or restocked products, sales and more.

Rumpsack Pocket Diaper Winner

So I closed the form to new responses, just as my laptop decided to complete it’s slow, agonizing death. By the time I got on to another computer to finish what I was doing two more entries had popped in, even though I confirmed the form was closed before the computer kicked the bucket. Ugh. Anyhoo, I’m leaving those entries since it was my own fault.

249 people entered the giveaway, with a total of 432 entries! Wow!

The winner is #147, which is Jody! I’m sending you an email!

Now, I should be writing up more of my Year of Fluff posts, but after this computer stuff, I think I’m going to bed. I’ve got a giveaway post all ready for tomorrow, and Friday’s giveaway roundup is just about ready too!
