    I have made my second one just yesterday *pat self on back* (I'll load a pic later today) It has a polarfleece outer and a terry towel inner. It's a pocket-fitted nappy thingy. Better than the first one and works better also. I have to alter my pattern a bit. It's a bit on the narrow side inbetween the legs, does not cover like I would have thought it would.

    I think I need a serger though Zig-zag is just not the same and my mom burned her serger's machine out. I was covered in terry towel fluffies

    BUT DH said I can order the Jalie Pattern from Canada Don't know if you guys know that pattern - google it.

    I know I can get them free off the internet, but my idea is to make these nappies for re-sale and you are not allowed to distribute free-pattern-nappies. AND the Jalie pattern has the pattern for a AIO (pocket or not), fitted nappy and diper cover in all sizes. Just makes more sence to me. I still have to find a place in South Africa that sells PUL. Looked at ordering it from Wazoozle or whats-its-name, but that is not cost effective.

    Ren - I challenge you - finish that NAPPY!!! (although by the look of the rate you are recieving fluff-mail, Mel might be mad that you have "taken your business elsewhere" ) I have also sewed DS some camo-pants and are going to finish dd's camo-pants over the weekend. I did some sewing for DH and some alterations for our kitchen-staff's overalls. And the bug has bitten me BIG TIME. I bought a pattern for a romper that I want to make for DS and I want to sew myself some pj's (although I can buy them cheaper at the discount store)
