Fundraising Raffles

Here's your chance to win two cute baby items for pennies on the dollar! When you buy your raffle tickets, comment on paypal as to whether you want your ticket to go toward the tutu or the chick costume.



  • Raffle #1: Tutu
    This is a "recycled" tutu I made for my daughter. Only worn once! I listed it on ebay with no luck. It's a 9-12 month size (it fit her at around 18-20lbs). Waist 22" UNSTRETCHED and length about 10". It's different shades of yellow and sparkly white tulle with a pink sparkle waistband. Handmade. Raffle tickets are $1 for 1, $2 for 3, or $4 for 5. Buy tickets via paypal at megthemango(at)hotmail(dot)com. Raffle ends midnight CST WEDNESDAY, 14SEP.
  • Raffle #2: Cute Chick Costume
    Cute Chick costume. Onesie reads "Cute Chick" in rhinestones (hand-done). The sleeves and collar are adorned with pink sequins each hand-sewn onto costume. Yellow boa around sleeves emulates adorable chick wings. Hand-dyed the tights & socks to the perfect shade of orange to match the chicken feet that I made out of felt and attached to the socks. The hairpiece is a feather clip adorned with a big, pink rhinestone. 6-12 month size. It fit my daughter at around 9 months, 18-20lbs. Buy tickets via paypal at megthemango(at)hotmail(dot)com. Raffle ends midnight CST WEDNESDAY, 14SEP.

Pricing and Shipping Information


Right now, I consider myself a novice seamstress, so I only charge for materials and $3 for labor. Please note that you may find some mistakes on your diapers, but, hey, they're poop catchers! As my skills and quality increase, so will my prices, hopefully resulting in a fun business for myself and my fellow cloth diapering moms. I also plan to expand the store to include such recycled baby products as pillowcase dresses, babylegs legwarmers, tutus, and t-shirt bags. Thanks for your interest and enjoy the fluff!

Giveaway #2 - In Honor of September 11th

The 10th anniversary of September 11th is coming up, so our next giveaway is a medium patriotic fitted with red and white striped outer and blue inner layer. 100% cotton with a triple terry cloth inner and aplix closure. Fair warning, my machine goofed up while I was sewing it, making some of the seams a little wonky.


To give you an idea of sizing, each square is one inch.
