Meet the Team

I'm blessed to be a mother to 4 children. My husband and I had two of our children right after we married 21 years ago. I home schooled both children through high school. Many years later, the Lord blessed my husband and I with our third child, who is now 3 and then another son, who is 5 months old.

I always wanted to learn how to sew and with the birth of my 3rd child I started using cloth diapers. I loved using them, they're much easier than I realized! What I didn't like was the quality and fit of those diapers. I spent a small fortune for commercial diapers that I thought would last but didn't. They fell apart and I was heartbroken. I started using prefolds and covers and realized that I liked them too. They were much less expensive to buy. I then stumbled upon a website where all the moms were making their own diapers. I was intrigued and quickly got hooked on sewing my own. That was the start of my love affair with cloth diaper sewing. I actually learned how to sew from making diapers. I now sew dresses, shirts, pants, skirts, shorts, wet bags mama pads, much more. I feel so blessed I learned how to sew, and that I can now pass down my knowledge to my daughters.

After sewing my diapers for a while, many mamas asked me to make diapers for them and my business, Precious Bunz Diapers started. I love to make fancier embroidered diapers. I created the Precious Bunz Diaper Sleeve. I love teaching other mamas to make their own diapers. It's really fun to share the knowledge and different techniques with other women… to see their faces when they realize that they too can sew and make their own beautiful cloth diapers!

Today my life is very busy, I've got a toddler who is 3 and we've started some pre-school learning at home along with my 5 month old. I sew in the evenings and really enjoy every moment I can with my family. I feel the Lord has truly blessed my husband and I and we love to bless others.

Hi, my name is Bri. I am 27 years old and just celebrated my 8 year anniversary with my sweetie, Heath. We have three beautiful children together. We recently bought our first home in the small town of Powell, Wyoming. My husband and I were both raised in small towns and wouldn’t have it any other way for our kids. Family is a huge part in my life and I have been blessed to be able to have been a stay-at-home mom since my first was born.

When I became pregnant with our third little surprise, we still had one child in diapers and the other in pull-ups. Not only were we preparing to become home owners, but it was an older home which would need many minor renovations. As you can imagine, our budget was tight. The expenses were all adding up in my head and I desperately needed some way to cut our costs.

Then one day while I was checking an online forum for expectant mothers, I noticed some topics about Cloth Diapering. The light-bulb in my head went off and my research began. What? You don’t have to use plastic pants or pins?! I was blown away with the pictures of these “cloth diapers”. They were not at all what I had expected. I was astonished, but a bit skeptical. Not because it was cloth, but because to purchase just one commercially make cloth diaper was practically the same price that I had been paying for an entire economy size box of disposables. I knew that in the long run cloth diapering would be saving me money, but the upfront cost was so substantial. I didn’t see how we could afford it. I wasn’t about to spend $400-$500 on Cloth Diapers that I didn’t even know if I would like. After more research, I found a community of ladies that were sewing their own cloth diapers. Now this, I COULD do. And it would be much more affordable for us.

I have been sewing cloth diapers now for just over a year It has evolved from something that I was doing out of necessity, into something that I now do for pleasure and enjoyment. There is nothing I enjoy more than sitting down and creating something for my children.

I am honored to have been asked to be a part of the Babyville Boutique Design Team and am looking forward to the adventures and challenges it will bring. I know that I will be working alongside a wonderful and talented group of women, and I am anxious to get to know each one of them. Thank you, Babyville, for this opportunity to expand my horizons and be a part in such a huge stepping stone for cloth diapering!
