Diaper Garden Gallery: Ice Star Retrospective
January 2004
Owners of Ice Star diaper covers found that these sell well used at auction. The top price I know of was $154 for a used Fuzbaby Diaper Garden Ice Star wool cover. In order to let those circulating covers keep their value, I did not make more covers available.
I did, however, add a big Ice Star to a great little wool coat.

Retro Ice Star wool coat: back view
We haven't made a lot of matching clothing for Fuzbaby diapers and diaper covers, but the coat in the middle of winter seemed a natural. The icicles behind the Ice Star are longer than on the cover. Colors are reversed on icicles and background from the original.

Retro Ice Star wool coat: front view
I drafted this pattern to fit a two year old, but I always leave growing room. It not only fit my then 3-year old with the sleeves rolled up, but my then 6-year old fit the coat with just a bit too much wrist showing. The curves and lines match my original, ambitious drawings for Fuzbaby clothing. The finishing is much like the wool covers with a bound edge. The zipper is hidden where two bound edges come together.

Retro Ice Star wool coat: inside pocket
Inside the pocked is a secret pocket of curvy wool felt. My children love extras and secrets like this in their clothes. I figured they weren't alone.
