QTBunns Review and Giveaway

For several months now, Emma has shown great interest in the potty. I think it comes from having older siblings and wanting to do what they do. Being a strong believer in cloth diapering, I struggled with how to handle working with the potty. I wasn't sure if I should continue to cloth diaper or use training pants, be it disposables or cloth. Then I also considered using just underwear because Emma seemed to be encouraged by the pretty prints. She has several pairs of Princess undies but she was having accidents so the underwear wasn't the best idea. When I went back to cloth diapers, she seemed to regress and had lots of accidents. I was struggling with the best solution so when I had the chance to review cloth training pants from QTBunns, I was very excited.

A Bit About Sheriee:

A little about me, I'm a mother of 4 adult children and grand mother of 8. My fondest childhood memories are those of sitting next to my mother at a very young age and watching her sew. She would give me a huge needle and some fabric and I would sit for hours creating what I thought,were the most beautiful barbie doll clothes I get restless if I am not creating something. I also crochet, cross stitch, card making, painting, scroll saw woodwork and just about anything else but haven't mastered the knitting thing yet. When I am not creating new things I relax by fishing, 4 wheeling, snow machining, berry picking, camping or hanging at the cabin with family and friends.
My daughter inspired me to make my first diapers. She asked if I could make the for her new little one. She was impressed enough with them and thought we could sell them. Well little did I know they would be a hit and from there I branched out to potty trainers, diaper covers, bibs, wipes, blankets nursing pads, etc. After selling for 2 years on Ebay on not to satisfied with their fees, my daughter ran across Etsy and, well, the rest is history.
I was extremely happy when my first item sold on Etsy because it just reassured me that I really did have a product that was well worth selling. Self doubt, Oh yes but not any more. This business has taught me how to stand on my own 2 feet and have the confidence to push beyond my own limits.
I have been selling on Etsy for 2 years now.
My shop name- I wanted something just a bit different. I had a cat named C A T and pronounces it Seady (see a dee ) so I though why just have cutie buns when I could have QTBUNNS.
Selling my products is my sole job. I have 3 stores in my home state of Alaska that carry my products as well and hope to branch out into more stores. I have a website but it's not up and running yet. That's my next priority.
My favorite items at this time to make and sell are my pull up training pants. They turned out better than I could of imagined. I think they are so cute.
My advice to others who may want to start selling on Etsy. GO FOR IT , it's so easy to learn how to use Etsy and that's coming from someone who had no computer skills when I started out except how to turn one on. I found that once I gained the courage to put my first item on Etsy and have others see it, ask questions about it,comment on it, and then eventually have some one actually buy it, made me feel quite proud of myself. Etsy had been therapeutic for me. I was able to over come my fears and doubts about myself and find the courage and self confidence in knowing that what I create is quality products. I am very proud of myself for that. Just go for it!!

Emma was thrilled when I put her training pants on her. She kept saying "pretty undies" over and over. She didn't think they were more like a pull up. Emma worked very hard all day to say dry. However, right before bedtime, she had an accident. I was concerned that the trainer may not hold up but I was very wrong. The trainer didn't even get damp. The trainer is made with an inner and outer layer of flannel with a layer of PUL in between. This kept Emma's skin dry as it also kept my couch dry! Sheriee also offers cloth diapers made very similar to the trainers. Sheriee offers a vast selection of fabrics and loves custom and large orders. We are very happy with the trainers and will be using QTBunns in the future.
