Gina’s Soft Cloth Shop

Finding a cloth alternative to your everyday paper products will not only save you money it will cut your carbon foot print.  Gina’s Soft Cloth Shop has a amazing selection high quality cloth products that are proudly made one at a time in the USA.

 Paperless Towels

Here’s some horrifying paper towel facts. 13 billion pounds of paper towels are used each year. That’s over 45 pounds of paper towels per person, per year. Paper towels are not recyclable since they don’t contain much fiber, making them purely waste. This waste adds up to 254 million tons of trash globally each year. These numbers alone should make you want to ditch paper towels and go paperless!

 

When I decided to make the switch to reusable products, paper towels and napkins were the first items I replaced. We use Gina’s Soft Cloth Shop Paperless Towels for everything, drying hands, mopping us spills and cleaning up my messy 19 month old after meals. As far as cleaning up messes, paperless towels are far superior to paper. I am able to clean the biggest of messes with one towel. Paperless Towels wont fall apart like paper towels do, these high quality towels will last you a long time. Simply wash and reuse!

Gina’s Soft Cloth Shop Paperless Towels are offered in Organic Cotton, Organic Cotton Birdseye, Unbleached Birdseye Cotton and White Cotton Birdseye. These Paperless Towels have a beautiful surged edging offered in a wide range of colors. You can easily coordinate with your kitchen colors or enjoy a rainbow assortment of colors. No longer will you have the eyesore of a roll of paper towels sitting on your counter.

Little Wipes

Little Wipes make a perfect eco-friendly alternative to baby wipes.  Baby wipes wreak environmental havoc since most contain plastic fibers that are not biodegradable. There is always the misconception that baby wipes are flushable. I would not recommend flushing any kind of baby wipe and risk clogging not only your toilet but the city’s sewer system. Baby wipes also contain so many preservatives and fragrances that I don’t feel comfortable touching my daughters sensitive skin. As a cloth diapering mama, it only makes sense to use cloth wipes.

Gina’s Soft Cloth Shop’s Little Wipes have so many uses. These wipes are extremely absorbent making them great wash cloths. Little Wipes also make great tissues, helping keep little noses from getting irritated from constant wiping. Little wipes are 8″x 8″ and are offered in Organic Cotton Bamboo Velour, White Birdseye Cotton, Organic Cotton and flannel.

Caring for your Cloth items

Caring for your Paperless Towels and Little Wipes is simple. I wash my towels and wipes in cold/ warm water. I also avoid fabric softeners and dryer sheet to keep the fabric absorbent. Gina’s Soft Cloth Shop also suggests occasionally adding 1/4 cup of white vinegar to your rinse cycle to prevent detergent build up and keep your towels soft.  My Little Wipes that I use as baby wipes get thrown in the wash along with my diaper laundry. Air dry your towels in the sun for it antibacterial and stain removing benefits or dry in your dryer.

Sweet Bobbins Review

Angela is the primary owner and designer. She happily bears the burdens of shopping and sewing. Rene helps out with accounting and does tons of sewing too! This 2 women show makes beautiful products at affordable prices.

What Do They Sell?

About Sweet Bobbins:

ALL fabrics are PRE-WASHED in free & clear soap. Which means they are pre-shrunk! I want my products to wash well and look fantastic even after several uses, so I pre-wash EVERYTHING to reduce shrinkage and warping!

They also sell on Etsy under Sweet Bobbins Fabric and Urge2Serge. This is mostly De-stash from their projects, but they do have some designer prints for sale.

They also offer custom jobs. If you want something in a certain fabric or in a larger quantity they can happily help you. They use the best machines so you know that everything they make is going to be good quality and long lasting. Read these reviews of Brother sewing machines to see some examples of the kind of kit they use.

Mama’s Experience:

washcloth

When you receive your order all items are handled with great care. I was SO surprised that my wipes were already washed. They are crazy soft! Like I want to cuddle with these wipes, that kinda soft. I washed mine after getting them, because you know, habit. They are still crazy cuddly soft! Super happy with the quality of fabrics Sweet Bobbins chooses.

My son had never felt a wipe other than a store brand disposable wipe. The first time he felt it touch his skin he got still. Like frozen in place. This is a 17 month old – they don’t stay still for changing at this age. They are like greased pigs when you try to change them. He never felt a soft, smooth fabric before. He looked at me with a “what is happening, mom?” sort of face. I wiped him off and put the new diaper on without a struggle.

Cleaning the poop – I was scared. I never used a cloth wipe with poop before. I knew that I was about to change a real toddler poop. I wet 2 of the cloth Sweet Bobbins wipes with warm water from my bathroom sink and set them down while I went to grab by son. The cloth wipes are 7 inches by 7 inches. I ended up only using 1 wipe when changing him! I was shocked! And pleased of course. I could just leave the wipe in the diaper and when I took the cloth diaper to the toilet to dispose of the solids I was able to shake off the wipe. It washed like it had never seen a poopy diaper. I am so in love.
