prefolds are very easy to make...just get some towelling from spotlight and make sure that the centre part of the prefold has a hidden layer. make them about 30cm x 38cm. oh best thing, you can use them later to stuff your pocket nappies.
I used about 10 preolfds in rotations but also had alot of fitteds...Baby beehinds are great because they are a one size fits all so they arent wasted and used right through until toilet training. Vyolett is almost 2 and is still in the same baby beehinds nappies from birth.

I failed home economics..pmsl and look at me, I sew all the time now.
