Can you use old cotton/polyester sheets are prefolds?

[PinkPalace]

If i cut them up for newborn prefolds to say a 3 x 6 x 3 configuration
would these be absorbant or does it need to be straight cotton(planning on using in a PUL cover

Pollycotton sheets are usually 50/50 so I don't think that they would make very good prefolds.

But if you did want to use them for something put several layers together and they would make nice burp cloths for your shoulder.

If you after somethign cheap, have ahunt around spotlight on the bargin tables.
