Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Someone mentioned them being spendy. I am NOT a good seamstress, but I bought a pattern (all sizes) and can sew them. I buy for under $1 old wool sweaters at garage sales, and/or old wool blannkets. I then wash in HOT water and dry in a HOT dryer and they work SUPERB for wool diaper covers. Often I get the sweaters or blankets quite cheap (a quarter?)- doesn't make any diff to me if they have some moth holes or wear. Lots of times they GIVE them away if they are in poor shape as a sweater! The Pendleton -type heavy wool shirts also work.

Yours in Christ,
Kathy

If you happen to crochet or knit they are mega easy to make too. I just finished a warm pair of longies for baby boy.
