New happenings at Pooligans

June is flying by so fast! Its hard to fathom that July is just around the corner. This month ends with another round of testing, the launching of the Poo of the Month Club, and two new products. Yes, wovens have been offered before as customs but now you will be able to find these in my shop from time to time.

First on the agenda... I am gearing up for round 2 testing my PnT AI2's as well as working on another idea that may make these true AI2's. I am hoping all goes well and the feedback is just as great as round one. I have decided that as much as I like printed PUL it sucks the big one for AI2 diapers and will only be offering hidden PUL PnTs. Now, if you find a cut of printed PUL that you just must have for a custom PnT then by all means get it. It works, its just not as well as hidden PUL. If all goes as planned... PnTs will join the regular lil' Pooligans line in July.


Next up... added to the current line are OBV I&O's and T&T wovens.

These soft squishy I&O beauties have colored OBV in and out. These are so amazingly soft and squish-able. I may also decide to dive into the wide world of colored cotton velour so that I can offer these in a wider array of color combinations on a more frequent basis; as well as offering as customs. Whether or not standard OSFM Poos will have CV inners is yet to be known.



On to the next note... I am also offering T&T woven fitteds. I found that I had to change my construction to prevent some obnoxious elastic issues in regards to appearance. While these look a bit different than my original Poos I promise that they are the same exact pattern that I offered before offering the same fit and function minus the aesthetic problems that drive my batty. Now, because these are a fairly new construction for me these will be offered at an introductory rate until I have perfected my technique.

Finally... with July just around the corner it is time for the next Featured Baby of the Month and the first month of POTM. The Poo of the Month Club kicks off in just a few days. Currently there are still a couple of spots open. I will be closing this listing down come the 1st of July. There will not be another chance until December to sign up. Also, Please send those super cute pictures. Details can be found on Facebook. I am looking forward to seeing all of the picture of your super cutie pies in their Poos! The winning baby receives a 40% off discount code for one standard OSFM Poo and is featured in the shop, on Facebook, and here.

Oh my... Its June already!?!?

There's a few things that have been going on for this mama. Purging all of the kids stuff that they no longer need, digging myself out of my funk to feel human again, designing a new addition to the Pooligans line, etc, etc.

First up... June's Featured Baby of the month is Cami!!! Isn't she a cutie?


Next up... Current customs list.
1st batch - Autumn (3), Jenn, and Constance. Should ship out by Wednesday.
2nd Batch - Emily (2) and Emily (2). Should ship out Friday.

Thirdly... I currently have first run Poo 'n Toos testers out and am waiting for feedback on those. I am toying with an idea to make true AI2 diapers, and I am also toying with the idea of offering organic cotton Pooligans for those precious babies that are sadly allergic to bamboo.

Finally...
Price increase!!! I have adjusted my pattern in such a way to accommodate for shrinkage and provide a bit more bum coverage for those older babes while providing the same great fit on the little ones. Customs price is a bit more than pre-mades because these take more time and effort on my part. I also use premium fabrics that come with a premium price and cannot justify continuing to do business at a loss. Finally, colored OBV inners will cost a bit more than natural OBV because these are not only more spendy but also found in limited quantities. Thanks so much for your continued loyalty!
