Covers for terry flats

[fromscratch]

Ok I know I've asked this question before but I can not for the life of me find the post so here go's.
I am 6 months pregnant and this dc will be our 3rd and final baby.

For the last two baby's I used terry flats that are still in good condition and we will use them again but I can not find the PUL covers anywhere so I have to get new ones. This is where the problem begins.
I've been looking around and they are all different these days. There will be 7 years age gap between 2nd baby and 3rd so I may have given them away.

Anyway I quite like the look of the tots bots covers as the tabs are pul not just Velcro. I had issues last time with velcro tabs pulling off so I don't want to go there again hense the reason I like tots bots but the price is a bit much. Is there another brand a little cheeper that have the velcro tabs covered with the PUL like the tots bots covers that are cheeper.

I also sew and have some PUL so I am not objectionable to making some myself if you are aware of a nice pattern.

Thanks in advance

I'm looking at using terry flats as well so will be interested to hear/read replies.

Motherease Rikki covers - there is a side snap version which is quite good, it might be older? Also there is a velcro/PUL version which I liked for a newbie.

I use the TotsBots PUL covers and haven't had any issues. My baby can undo velcro now, so we can only use them under clothes, but no problems at all with the tabs on the covers, and the covers were purchased second hand, so they've been put to the test.

Mazalicious covers are front-snapping and really good over terry flats.

Also check out WeeHuggers.

I use the maz covers and the BBH pul covers over terry flats and fitted terry nappies. I actually will be listed some for sale as soon as I can photograph them.

fabrics that nappy covers are made in:
- PUL
- Malden mills fleece
- wool soakers

closures
- aplix (an industrial strength velcro)
- snaps either front snaps, or side snaps. I found side snap covers more adjustable, on my child.
- wool soakers have a drawstring or elasticated around waist
- there are MM fleece covers (like bear bottoms) that don't use any closures at all. See the Monkey High pattern on Fairy Fabrics.

If you are a sewer, sewing with MCN fabrics is different than dressmaking fabrics.
To make covers, you will need swimwear elastic, a walking foot, i'm rusty it's been years since i thought about this stuff, but i remember, there were "tricks" to it. Sites like NappiesCovered have links for patterns (and useful tips). Nappycino had lots of great hints too for DIY'ers.

Whether you buy or make the covers, i think to put covers over a terry flat, you would need a cover style with a long rise.

All the best as you enter your third trimester, i wish you a safe and healthy pregnancy.
