Happy Heiny Pocket Nappy

[~Saram~]

I completely understand the addiction :-)

Let me know if you have any qu regarding inserts, I'm happy to answer.

No - no longer the owner of Nappy Bucket but have already paid for the sig so thought I might as well keep it there for the new owner until it is finished ... or I find something else to occupy myself with

Thanks Sarah,

Is it alot of work doing an online shop like that? I would love to do something like that to bring in extra money whilst it still let me be home with the kids.

Can you use terry flats as inserts in pocket nappies or does that not really work?
Do you know anywhere i can get bamboo in bulk or a bit cheaper?
I am going to need some extra of that for the peapods i have.

Ok so i just ordered 2 large HH.

I ordered the motorbikes one for DS and the cow one too (i got the last one )
Didn't order any inserts - will have a look into that.

I used half a terry when Natty was in little ones. Terry is very bulky and not very absorbent, so it's limited in that way.
Check out the cloth nappy making threads - someone in there may be able to give you a tip as to where to get bamboo online. (I don't think it's cheap anywhere particularly.)
I ordered 3 large ones for Natty! We got a cow hide, pink cammo and red rose. Thanks so much for the tip!!!

Snacks - in regards to the microfibre towels you referred to earlier, are they in the baby department? what brand are they?

[Mummyof2under2]

10.95 for half a metre of bamboo - does that sound expensive?

Good question Kellie - i was going to ask that too

[Snacks]

Nope, they're in the car section
I think the brand I've got is Kenko or something like that. They come in a roll and they're red, blue and yellow.
I've not bought bamboo before... But I suppose if you think that a bamboo trifold booster from BBH costs around um... $15? (Guessing - I can't remember how much it cost. Pretty sure it was more than $10) Gee, it does sound worth it! All you'd have to do is hem the edges.

Mummyof2under2 - owning my own business was wonderful and I love cloth nappies and everything else that went with them but in the end it was too much for me to handle and give everything, family and shop my best. I really applaud the WAHM who do make it work but hubby wasn't really on board as far as helping out with the business and at home and DS has just been organised with autism and in the end it was family over business - so easy to choose in the end. A lot of the maj stores have demonstrators which I think would be a great way to make a little money, get some cheap nappies and have heaps of fun selling MCN! Like tupperware but SOOOOOO much better.

As for the bamboo fleece, is there anyone nearby who you could have a little sewing party with and borrow their machine in return for giving them some fabric???? Not sure how bamboo fleece would go without being overlocked. Check out the making nappy thread?

Sarah- sorry you had to give up doing something you love but like you said the choice was easy when it came to your family. I hope you manage to get all the help your son needs too.

Does anyone know how many inserts i would get from half a metre? I am sure i could pay someone to hem them if i did buy it.

[~Saram~]

depends on how wide your fabric is and what kind of inserts you want to make? Do you want a bamboo trifold? How many layers do you want? Oh also i think bamboo shrinks when you first wash it, but the ladies in the cloth nappy making thread will be able to help you out!

[Mummyof2under2]

thanks sarah - i will search for that thread.

I ordered my HHs yesterday around 4pm and they got here at 8.30 this morning!!! How good is that for service. I just need something to stuff them with now

[~kellie~]

I ordered mine on Thursday and just got an email saying they wont be here till the end of the week... what's going on there???????
