How it all started…
In December of 2002 I brought my precious baby daughter home from the hospital in a darling little cloth diaper and haven’t looked back. When she was about six months old I began sewing diapers and shortly thereafter I opened for retail sale. My experiences as a mother of a heavy wetting, skinny little girl led me to favor the performance of side-snapping, fitted diapers and wool covers. As time has passed, my family has become more and more eco-conscious and this has influenced my diaper making. I now only select fabrics that are eco-friendly, USA milled to support our local economy, and natural (undyed, untreated). I construct my diapers with external soaker pads for thorough cleaning and quick drying time. While reusable diapers are heads above disposable, diapers that are comprised of synthetic fabrics or require a great deal of energy to wash and dry are not as eco-friendly as Clover™ Brand diapers. If you wish to use my diapers on your baby but are challenged with initial cost, email me to discuss options. I am committed to making it work for you.
Why we choose organic…
The cotton industry is a major player in the contamination of our environment through the use of insecticides, pesticides, and herbicides. When we choose organic cotton we are choosing a fiber that has been grown without these toxic chemicals- chemicals that are dangerous for plantlife, animals, and YOU! In addition, organic farming cultivates crops in a way that replenishes the earth, rather than eroding and depleting the soil we depend on. Want to read more about the beauty of organic cotton? The Organic Trade Association has a wonderful webpage with fact and figures that expresses why organic cotton farming is a must for our environment and our future.
My, how we have grown…
Precious Dignity has evolved from a work-at-home-mom operation to a micro-enterprise. We have a modest production facility in Central Ohio with a staff of five and growing. We work from morning to night, Monday through Friday to make top-notch diapers and accessories. We have also established an old fashioned Diaper Service for our local community. We offer diaper rental, laundering, and delivery service to make cloth diapering more accessible to those who wish to cloth diaper but are challenged with the laundering in one way or another. Free, in-home consultations are available to anyone in our local community to review our products and services by calling 614-376-3686.
