Killed Ginghers

I just carefully boxed up some dull Ginghers to have sharpened. In case you might need to know, the nice people at Gingher will make your Ginghers just as great as new for $ 7.50. We've been cutting lots of fleece and minkee for washable diapers for the needy babies and that stuff is not very kind to scissor blades - or fingers after a while. To be quite honest, I'm not sure the fleece did the deed, it just may have been a million miles of cutting and perhaps five years since they had a decent sharpening. You all know that I can be bribed but unfortunately I am not affiliated. There's nothing much as wonderful as a seriously sharp pair of scissors - except a banana split. I do look forward to their homecoming. Polly

I'm not really sure either, Taria. Lining the diaper cover with PUL is a substitute for the awful old rubber pants we used. The pocket pee-pad for the liners can be removed for easier washing and faster drying. But oh my yes, I remember 'standing' frozen diapers in the hall over the floor furnace. Not a precious memory. Don't know about the kind words of 'good woman'. Maybe we will have to ship me off to Gingher for a sharpening. This morning I opened the microwave to put the sugar canister away. That would never do. Polly my candle burns at both ends

Boy do I remember cloth diapers. I was in third grade when my little sister was born and Mom was in her last semester of college, and then first job in the fall. Can't tell you how many diapers I sloshed in the toilet, and how many times I filled the diaper pail in the tub with borax added. My other sister and I would fold diapers and feed my baby sister while Mom fixed supper. I even learned pretty darn fast how to change them too, always being sure to place my fingers between the diaper and my sisters side when putting in the pins. And oh those plastic pants. Had to make sure that the diapers were all tucked inside.

That little sister just turned 41. My how time flies.

My baby is 39 and we used cloth diapers, I had not onlu the square birdseye type but the prefolded of both regular and and stretch. They were expensive to buy but so much cheeper in the long run, I did have a washing machine.

I can't imagine the cost and disposal of throw away diapers, and some people are not very nice when they leave the dirty/used diapers anywhere! A parking lot comes to mind, disgusting!

I always had a wet wash cloth, in a plastic bag, didn't need wipes.

How wonderful of you to make the new style. My paternal grandmother made flannel diapers for one of my cousins because he was an extra large baby! I have the Singer red-eye treadle that she made them on.
