hmmmm I think I already left feedback too. I might wait till she has more listed & get my sister to "ask seller a question" to see if she gets a answer. Pretty bad form to not reply.
FJ i have an abbey gro AIO night nappy made from MM inner and polar outer, it doesnt cut for us over night the bed was soaked so i use it for day onlt and it's fine, sometimes not all nappies and materials suit everyone, pain i know i stick with BBB and wool covers for night
"Somebody" told me to not look at the pile but the centre layer. That is where the density is and is what gives the water resistance IYKWIM. That bit is more important that the texture. I've seen quite a few different textures with MM from flat and smooth to something that looks like teddy fur (Oooooh nice that is!) and they all have the nice thick dense middle layer.
TBH when I first looked at it I was sus but there are so many different types that it could be MM but not one that I've seen. Have a look at the website and all the little letter at the bottom of the swatches mean different things and finishes. Very confusing!
Well she did reply, said she didn't know. I stil have my doubts especially now that I have washed the flongies I made. They look really crappy now heaps of pilling! Oh well, lesson learnt!
Anyone able to point me in the right direction of any australian based bamboo co-ops
? I feel that I have outgrown what SL has to offer in the way of nappy making...
FJ I had a thought about using some spotters microfleece over the outside of that fleece. It will be like the not so nice stuff is a hidden layer IYKWIM.
If I can be bothered I'll send a sample over to MM and ask if it's the real thing. If it's not I'll report the seller to ebay for selling counterfeit goods.
Been doing a bit of sewing today.
Cut out 3 nappies using Honeyboy pattern the other day but made the rise a bit longer. Tried to get a bit done yesterday but was having all kinds of overlocker dramas. I nearly threw it out the window. Changed the needles, rethreaded the b@$tard thing twice and it still wasn't sewing the soaker pads properly. Tonight once the kids were all in bed I finally got the tension combination right - thank goodness.
The density of the bamboo was playing havoc with the left hand needle.
Anyhoo that darn Honeyboy pattern! Can anyone give me a good hint on how to do that leg seam allowance shifting fiasco? I'm seriously thinking of redrafting the pattern so that the inner layers are smaller so I don't have to shift the seam allowance about. The VeryBasic pattern is like that and it's so much easier but I like the fit of the Honeyboy on Caleb.
Yay one of my own creations lasted the night! I'm sooooo happy
It's kind of a Very Basic/Honeyboy hybrid...
I made a Very Basic AIO with a MM fleece outer with front snaps. The inner has a bamboo layer hidden with a 2 layer soaker pad and I made a lay in booster with 2 layers of bamboo with a microfleece topper
It was even dry at the back because Caleb is a tummy sleeper
Will make an effort to get some pics up when it's clean. I put them on and he wees and they're in the bucket before I think to take pics
I asked on NC for some advice re the Honeyboy and was pointed to a great tutorial site. I have been there before but didn't take in too much at the time as it was before my nappy sewing days.
Check out sewdiapers. It's the VeryBaby forums. Very helpful
oh sammi thanks for that matie - have been sittin gon bum and sewing (wouldnt TRev be happy ) found some goregous material at SL yesterday so thought - a bugger it.Going to lincraft tonight to buy some of the elepahnt fleece that I bought the other week. Lincraft also have anti pill pf for $4.99 metre...hmm wondering if they do layby on their material. OH OH I was so happy with myself to yesterday....I put alayby on at SL and I didnt realise but put some of that black and white skull material (pirate) on layby too. THANK GOD cause there was none left at all in SL.
Well after a bit of unpicking and cursing I finished my very first Honeyboy and am on the way to making another one.
I made the tabs a bit too long so I've adjusted that bit so they meet in the middle better instead of crossing over. Will take pics and post on blog when I've finished the second one which I plan on doing this afternoon when playschool is on
