So far I have been making fitted nappies for DS and a few friends using an inner layer of terry, booster pad made from old terry squares and an outer layer of 100% cotton that is very terry like. The problem I am having is the outer layer fading very quickly and pilling (I think that is the right term.
Can anyone recommend a good material to use for the outer layer?

So far I have made nappies from the Mama Bird, Wee Weka and Ottobre patterns but these don't seem to be great for newborn/small size. Any recommendations on a good pattern for this size?

Thanks in advance.
