|
19:01:31 |
Cuddlebaby |
usually it's me that gets booted! |
|

willowsmom |

|
19:02:20 |
VJ |
i sew (haven't for a long time) |
|
19:02:21 |
willowsmom |
a girl :) |
|
19:02:29 |
VJ |
but want to start and especially using up the fabrics we
have |
|
19:02:42 |
diapermama |
I had never sewn anything until diapers :) |
|
19:02:48 |
willowsmom |
And...surprisingly...we just started REALLY cding...had
tried...and failed...and are doing GREAT with it now ;) |
|
19:02:53 |
VJ |
cool |
|
19:03:14 |
diapermama |
Wonderful! Cloth diapering can be fun when you get the hang
of it :) |
|
19:03:18 |
VJ |
actually from your experience (any of you) what fabrics
really work |
|
19:03:25 |
VJ |
and fleece? i think water can go thru no problem |
|
19:03:39 |
willowsmom |
Yes!!! I had to get some diapers that I could work
with...lol Now I'm addicted and want to try all sorts of
diapers |
|
19:03:39 |
diapermama |
Hemp works very well, but it can get stiff |
|
19:03:51 |
VJ |
k don't have hemp |
|
19:04:02 |
Cuddlebaby |
me too Tiffany |
|
19:04:19 |
diapermama |
Sherpa is very absorbent and super soft. Microfleece helps
keep baby dry |
|
19:04:39 |
VJ |
well i have read somewhere you can use up stuff liek
sweatshirts arms |
|
19:04:45 |
VJ |
etc... so thats what im looking into |
|
19:04:46 |
VJ |
? |
|
19:04:51 |
diapermama |
BUT if you are trying to potty train then you may want them
to feel wet....flannel would be good for that. |
|
19:04:57 |
Cuddlebaby |
don't forget about old towels |
|
19:04:59 |
VJ |
since i have a lot of fabrics alone but dont know what they
are made of |
|
19:05:03 |
Cuddlebaby |
and receiving blankets |
|
19:05:07 |
VJ |
ok flannel then i guess lol |
|
19:05:08 |
Cuddlebaby |
that's what I experimented on |
|
19:05:10 |
Cuddlebaby |
and fleece |
|
19:05:15 |
VJ |
using a cover up? |
|
19:05:30 |
willowsmom |
I cannabalized all my blankets for wipes. lol |
|
19:05:32 |
diapermama |
Sweatshirts do work, I have used before. Also old towels and
recieving blankets |
|
19:05:41 |
Cuddlebaby |
fleece, only the high quality stuff will keep moisture out
(this is for wraps btw), poloar fleece made by malden mills |
|
19:06:03 |
Cuddlebaby |
covers can be made from fleece as I said but PUL works
well... |
|
19:06:04 |
VJ |
wipes? |
|
19:06:08 |
willowsmom |
baby wipes |
|
19:06:09 |
willowsmom |
yep |
|
19:06:13 |
VJ |
im spoiled i guess - bec im used to |
|
19:06:15 |
Cuddlebaby |
and is what I use in my Nappie Wraps |
|
19:06:18 |
VJ |
bring already made wipes since |
|
19:06:21 |
VJ |
i walk around a lot |
|
19:06:23 |
diapermama |
Sherpa is great for baby wipes, feels like silk :) |
|
19:06:26 |
VJ |
Nappie Wraps whats that |
|
19:06:28 |
willowsmom |
ooo cool :) |
|
19:06:35 |
willowsmom |
Ok..where's a good place to get fabrics? |
|
19:07:09 |
diapermama |
I get mine from online group co-ops. But there is The Diaper
Shop and Sewshoppe |
