Zany Zebra Cloth Diapers

Once upon a time there was a mama who loved her babies, cloth diapers, and sewing (yes, it's me). I decided to combine those three loves, and Zany Zebra Designs was born. There's much more to the story, but that's the important part for now.

Fast forward 10+ years. My babies are teens, and although my love for cloth diapers and sewing is still there, I don't have enough hours in the day to do everything. So, with a heavy heart I decided to stop sewing cloth diapers.

But rather than close Zany Zebra entirely, I'm going to keep the informational pages available. My new goal is to help new cloth diapering mamas learn about cloth diapers so they could learn to love them as much as I do.

I hope you find the information you're looking for, and I also hope you enjoy all the ZZD cloth diaper photos. Most of these litte ones are teenagers now too!

"These...are...AMAZING! I can't believe the way you make these applique ideas of mine come to fruition. If I wasn't already sitting on the floor w/ DD diving into them, they would've knocked me on my butt. They're just so beautiful. These will be SO loved and well-used (and not parted w/ until they're pried from my cold, dead hands after all my babies and grandbabies are done w/ them :) This was the BEST day!"
