I know this is not exactly nappy sewing, but I was hoping Melbel or someone might see this and be able to help...

I am going to make up some cloth pads. I recently made up some pocket nappies with mels Velvet Lycra and her other Lycra PUL. I really love the velvet Lycra, and was thinking of using it as the backing for the pad... I have a stack of help fleece, so I will use that as the inner, but I am undecided on the liner fabric.

So, questions are:

Will the Lycra be OK for the backing?
And what should I use for the lining? I do my pocket nappies with suede cloth... could I use this?
And lastly, how many hemp layers will I need for liners for every day use, and also for a pad for use with my new lunette cup?
Should I do AIO or pockets? I was thinking AIO, but maybe pockets are better. I am so indecisive...

Big huge TIA.

p.s. (I saw Alis post, and it had some good lining tips, Ali, if you see this what did you end up using...)
