    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.

    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!

    Oh no Kellie - i don't know about that.

    I emailed the lady a few times yesterday and she said they are in Sydney and the postcode she gave was the city. We are only about an hours drive from the city but she did really well to get it in the post last night. I hope you get yours soon.

    DD has got the cow print one on over her disposable until i get some more inserts hehe.

    I got a little plastic purse in mine too(she must have chucked it in as a freebie because i didn't order one) with peter rabbit on it so dd has claimed it for her coins
