Unreal Baby: Policies & Procedures

IMPORTANT: Please be aware of my policies and procedures prior to placing an order with me. I strive to provide excellent customer service and communication is the first and most important factor for me. If you ever have any questions, comments or concerns you are always welcome to contact me directly. In fact, I welcome it. Thank you! ~ Debra, Unreal Baby

I create hand made sewn and crocheted products for you and your child. The patterns I use are either my own creations or made while using cottage industry licenses. If you would like more information on where and how my products were created or information on my licenses please contact me. I respect my fellow WAHM business owners and would never intentionally misuse their products or patterns.

Pricing: I price each individual item based on the time involved, intricacy and the materials that are used in creating a product. For example, one pair of medium longies may cost $45 while another pair of medium longies will cost $75. The first pair were made from Lion’s brand wool and the second pair were made from hand dyed wool from a WAHM. If you are familiar with the cost of wool then you will understand the cost difference between the two. If you are ever curious as to why I price an item the way I do you are more than welcome to ask me. I will always let you know how I came to that decision.

Payments: I accept all forms of PayPal. If you pay by E-check it must clear prior to me starting your custom or shipping an in-stock item. A non-refundable deposit of $10 is required for all custom spots. Once the custom has been completed you will receive an invoice for the remaining balance including shipping. Payments are due within 7 days of receiving the invoice. Because we are only human, I understand that special circumstances do arise so if you have concerns with being able to make the final payment contact me to discuss your options. If payment is not received I reserve the right to re-list the item for sale.

Shipping: Items will be shipped through USPS and will have delivery confirmation on EVERY package shipped. Although I do not require insurance to be purchased, I highly recommend the buyer elects coverage. I cannot be held responsible for lost/stolen/damaged items once it leaves my possession. All orders over $100 will require insurance and will be calculated into the final shipping fees.

Refunds/Returns: I will accept refund/return items as long as they are unused/unwashed/undamaged. You must contact me within15 days of receiving the product to begin the refund/return process. I require that the item be shipped back to me at the customer’s expense. Upon my examination and after I have determined that the product is indeed unused/unwashed/undamaged I will refund the customer the original purchase price minus shipping charges. No refund/exchange will be accepted on a custom item that does not fit properly. My custom items are made based on measurements provided by customers. If you are unsure of how to obtain the correct sizing information, contact me and I will gladly help you. In-stock items will have measurement information listed and are not eligible for a refund unless the item has been grossly misrepresented. All sales are final for items listed as ‘seconds’, ‘used’ or ‘clearance’ and are non-refundable. If you are unsure if the product you purchased is eligible for a refund/return contact me and we will discuss your options. If an item is found to be ‘defective’ (i.e. defect or damage is not a result of shipping) I will pay for you to ship it back to me and I will do an even exchange. Customers requesting an exchange on a defective item must notify me within 30 days of receiving product.

Customs: I love creating custom hand made items. Contact me with your ideas and I’d be glad to accommodate you.

In Stock: Occasionally I will offer in-stock items. Pricing/information will be listed at the time I stock the item. The information will include size, price, product description, color options, etc. If you love the item but want a different color contact me and we can set up a custom for you!

Soft Sole Shoe testers please read!

I have worked out a new schedule to allow more time for me to sew. In fact, I will be sewing tonight!

But before I start I wanted to know if anyone wanted to 'upgrade' their shoes to have a waterproof inner lining. The lining will be hidden between the sole leather and the liner. This will help those walkers get around and you won't have to worry if they step in a puddle, wet grass or the juice they just poured on the floor! :)

I will do this for free for my testers if you want it as a Thank You for being so patient with this process!! You know how to reach me and I'll make sure to contact you prior to sewing your shoes.

Also I want to offer up a contest for one of you to win a pair of Mama size soft sole shoes. These will automatically have the PUL inner liner to protect your feet from moisture. It will be a surprise shoe where I pick the color combination/embellishment/etc.

To be entered in the Mama Shoe contest just comment here with your shoe size and I will pick a winner with a random number generator. The drawing will be done February 18th @ 7:00 pm ET. (Isla's birthday!!!) So hurry and leave me a comment!

PLEASE NOTE: This contest is for my soft sole shoe testers only and not open to the public at this time. Thank you!

Diapers ARE Savvy!

As you all know I am a cloth diaper freak! I love them! I love buying them, window shopping for them and converting friends to cloth diapers.

Right now there is a contest running on Dexter's Super Savvy Mommy to win a 3-pack of Fuzzi Bunz cloth diapers in any size they offer. All you have to do is go to the Fuzzi Bunz site and leave a comment on Maggie's blog. She has all the details on how to enter and how to get extra entries.

From my personal experiences, Fuzzi Bunz are great diapers. They are very trim fitting unlike other cloth diapers that can be very bulky. They are so easy to care for and very convenient. Because they are pocket diapers you have complete freedom to choose how absorbent you want them. They are great daytime and nighttime diapers depending on how much you stuff them. This company is superb and stands behind their product and so do I!

Crochet Cloth Diaper Cover Heaven!!!

Hello All! It's been a while since I've posted updates or any news so I wanted to get on here and fill you all in. I decided to drop my classes I signed up for this semester. Life happens and I just got overwhelmed so now I have some more free time to pursue some destressing activities....like sewing/crocheting/etc. :)

I would like to announce that I now have the license for ALL of the crochet covers from Ladybugz Farm! I am so excited because Victoria creates amazing patterns and has excellent customer service. She really takes care of all her customers whether they have a cottage license with her or if they are simply purchasing a pattern for personal use. If you ever want to try your hand at some fun crochet covers definitely check out her patterns. They provide a wealth of information for beginners and long time crocheters.

I will be offering up some in stock items on my Hyena Cart as well as some Semi Custom spots for Longies.

Here is a sneak peek at the patterns I can now create for you. (pictures/content are from Ladybugz Farm and I have written permission to use them on my blog)

Poppy Pattern (Longies/Shorties): This pattern includes multiple options for finishing. Long leg ribbed with ruffle; short ribbed soaker; and puffy legged shorts. The cover offers a wide crotch area for those that are wearing those bulky cloth diapers. It has a special extension at the back to hug your baby nicely in those important areas.





Pepper Pants (Longies): crocheted longie with narrow legs; gusset and the rear extension.





HoneySuckle (shorties): crocheted shortie/soaker with the NEW gusset added between the legs. It also has a special extension at the back to hug your baby nicely in those important areas.


Morning Glory (longies): (This was the only pattern I offered previously) flared leg longie


Dragon Fly (longies): crocheted straight leg longie



Peppermint Soaker: crocheted soaker


Carnation Soaker (skirty!): crocheted soaker with a special skirt section


Forget Me Knot (capris): crocheted flared capri
