Gee - it was silent in here last time I looked! I took my attention away from nappy making to 3rd birthday presents, baby gifts and a nappy BAG, and poke my head back in to see you all chatting again. Please don't stop now or else I'll think I smell or something... :P

Maz -I'm sure you'll have the nappies mastered in no time given you're already a pro at covers! I have only made a couple of covers before - much prefer the nappies even though they are more complex. Not sure about te black myself - I still don't dress Austy in black (or skulls... perhaps I'm not modern enough), but I think I could be swayed by a ladybird cover for a little girl.

Just having a break from said nappy bag now, it's huge but will be great for dragging around my cloth stash.

Tarkine - while I'm happy to sew PUL pockets (have made over 100 since preggas with Austy) I too am afraid of plain PUL covers that have FOE on the edges. The covers I made were microfleece inner and outer with PUL in the middle so it was almost like making a pocket nappy anyway. They were super quick to make though.

I went and ordered some fabric yesterday - I needed moire hemp terry for inserts for my pockets, because I didn't want to waste all my bamboo fleece doing the 100% out of that, since DS had nappy chages every 1- 1.5hrs every time he fed and in my naivity back then I made the inserts out of three layers hemp terry. They actually worked although by the time he was in mediums I had to add extra layers. I'm expecting the bamboo would hardly get wet in a newby nappy, so think hemp might be better placed there. While I was there of course I ordered more minkee... not that I need it but hey, gotta make the most of the postage right?!
