| Lol Deb I thought bib and tucker was the name of a new style of nappy, not a brand name,..and I was trying imagine what a bib and tucker would look like! |

They look cute but aren't really anything special without the embroidery. Also, I'm not a fan of 1m PUL - I find the nappy sometimes feels slightly damp on the outside if it's quite wet inside, which you don't seem to get with 2m PUL. I don't know if that's technically right but that what I've found (I have some cheap 1m PUL nappies that I use for childcare). The wipes fabric looks gorgeous though, as do the covers.

I think the lady said they're handpainted, not embroidered. They also have really good reviews function wise. (they're new, but she's had testers use them for months) -------------

Sorry, didn't mean to offend or sound so negative - just saying thoughts out loud

Didn't think it was that negative - I haven't had problems with 1mm PUL, but I prefer the texture of 2mm PUL, I just thought I'd better point out they were hand-painted not embroidered, as that's a huge difference. -------------

Please don't confuse this with criticism, because it's not! But I just wanted to point out that this is what is special about them... and painting, not embroidery. It's an original design by a talented lady. I guess some people aren't into it, and I get that, but I think for a nappy these are rather unique! I love the idea. (Oh yeah, and Kate is lovely )
As far as novelty naps go, I'm not a fan of anything like the embroidered stuff you usually see. I mean, jamming fabric under an embroidery machine and pushing a button isn't exactly creative, but coming up with a funky design that is handcrafted is pretty cool I think. |

They do look really funky! And I agree with Nikki, I'm not a fan of embroidered naps either.
But I just wondered, how long would the paint stay there? If I was thinking of purchasing them I'd be scared it would wash off after a few months. |

I am pretty sure she has tested them over quite a long period of time and the paint has stayed fast.
I can attest to paint from creche remaining permanently on clothes, but that's another story! haha |

OK, I admit, my initial reaction was a little harsh (can I blame being PMT?  ). I too am not a fan of embroidery and should have read the fine print details better. I'm sure Kate ia a lovely & talented lady

| I think the price is ok considering it is hand painted, and the shipping is free over $10! |

Wow they are cool. The only think I don't like is side snaps - i'm not a fan but the painting on them is really cool. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |
