We're using face washers as wipes to save waste and cost and we're finding it very efficent and easy. We don't find that there's extra washing etc as we just throw them in with the cloth nappies (hence my husband turning some blue!!).
We've just put a bowl of water next to the change table and we soak and wring out face washers as we need them, and change the water over every day. I would say that you wouldn't need to hem the flannlette maybe just cut off the stray threads after each wash.
Hope this helps
