Cloth Nappy Making #4

[maz]

Yes - defently prewah your bamboo Pam as it shrinks...which reminds me I must prewash mine.

Im on a mission this weekend. i need to make some minkee topped boosters for Vy cause im so sick to death of her getting NR all the time. IM going to make 10 - one for every of her magicals and them I thought I might make some spares.

Ange - if you think shiating yourself about the overlocker is bad......i cant even touch my embroidery machine with out having my dacks full! And my stupid computer wont read the disc that comes with it...so I might have to get the 'old' hard drive out and connect that up.

SO what are we doing for mothers day????? Im going to sew I think....I need to relax alittle

ETA - Tanya why didnt you ring me you silly woman!!!!!!!! I could have come over and helped you. WTG on the nappy to lovie

WOO HOO PAM - im cutting some of mine up today now cause ive so gotta make boosters for Vy

[pmccask]

It's in the wash right now, along with some of the terry/flannel MCNs I've already made. I hope they don't fall apart! Providing they survive, it'll be good to see how long they take to dry. Fingers crossed for sun tomorrow.

hope you don't mind me asking, but why use minky for the stay dry fabric?

isn't it all polyester? i thought 100% polyester fabrics was what Vy and bilby react to? so i assumed i had to avoid minky next to her skin?

i've been using cotton velour to use as the top layer of boosters and for inside nappies, (80% cotton, 20% poly) and we've had success with that.

have i misunderstood? i know you post about poor Vy's skin getting irritated (i presumed by synthetic fabrics).
