How Tobie's Trousers was born

How I became a WAHM making cloth diapers

Hi, my name is Tobie Hannel.  I am the work at home 
mom (WAHM) behind Tobie's Trousers cloth diapers. 
My husband and I have
one son. When he was a couple months old, I thought that I would not mind using cloth diapers as long as I did not have to use pins and plastic pants.  I did try it though.  I would fold the prefold diaper and try to pin it without poking either one of us.  I was not a big fan of this.  I knew there had to be an easier way.  I researched on the internet and found some helpful ideas. 

Trying Department store cloth diapers
I bought some department store cloth diapers.  I was excited to get them and then disappointed when I did.  By this time I had managed to create a diaper of my own in between being a new mom, wife and my job at the time.  I did not like how the "other" diapers fit my son and also that he would feel wet.  This gave him a horrible rash.  I decided that I would continue to make diapers for him.  I was a maniac with buying material and researching all the different possibilities. I think my husband had thought that I had lost it many times.   As I continued making diapers, I perfected my pattern and different ways of making them.  I experimented with all different kinds of fabric and closure systems.  I wanted my diapers to be very easy to use since my husband was not a big fan of the whole using cloth idea.  So, with this in mind I needed to keep it very easy. 

Tobie's Trousers are born
Everyone was telling me that I should sell my diapers.  About a year later a friend of mine asked me if she could buy a couple diapers for her daughter.  I was ecstatic.  I made them for her and she loved them.  I then thought that it might not be such a bad idea after all.  It was actually great that she wanted to buy some because I could not stop making them.  My son had so many diapers but I could not stop making them.  I would see fabric that would scream at me to buy it and make a cute diaper.  My goal for my business is to provide helpful information to people and a high quality product so you will love cloth diapers as much as I do! 

My other passions
Although I love to make diapers, I do have other hobbies that I enjoy.  I always enjoy spending time with my family and friends.  I also like to garden and do other crafts such as crocheting and scrap booking.  If I do find some extra time I might be curled up with a book or taking a walk with my family.   

My Family
I love being a Mom, and I love being a WAHM.  I appreciate all you as customers and friends.  Thank you for supporting my dream of doing what I love!
