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 :lol: 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 the same problem with the fleece and it really peeved me!!!
I have bought some fleeces from l'amoure that have been great to work with.
If anyone is interested there is a seller on ebay selling a heap of microfibre pretty cheap too from what I can find online.
Maz, the fleece does seem thick but they way it came out the wash is so yuk! I am looking at getting some MM fleece from missymoo's
Hey also, would a medium weight wool work for covers? there is a seller on ebay selling wool material that is listed as medium weight...
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.
I just made a cover with the MM fleece & the microfleece on the outter. Just got to snap it then see how it goes.
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.
*sigh*
Cat might know Sammi?
I hear you on the overlocker tension - it can be difficult to get it just right hey.
Yay one of my own creations lasted the night! I'm sooooo happy :D
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 :D
It was even dry at the back because Caleb is a tummy sleeper :dance:
That's great Sammi! It sounds really good.
I wanna see pics!!! that sounds fantastic you clever chicken Sammi
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 :D
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 :rolleyes: 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 :D
LOL Yay For playschool! I have gotten so much donw while that is on LOL
*brag alert*
YAY I did it! Got the Honeyboy! finished this afternoon. I'm stoked.
Check out the pic on my blog :D
