Thanks for that info!

Overlap - yeah that is probablywhat they meant... ikwym... velcro on the outside to make it smaller...
i might do that on mine...
ok i'll do the full pattern size in terry towelling and then cut up a few 13x30cm (approx) pieces for the booster pad/liner that comes out of the nappy. i understand now why this is done so it makes the nappy itself less bulky hence easier to wash and dry faster...
ok so PUL buy online only and Hemp/bamboo (will get into that once i know what im doing hehe)

thats terrible about the BigW nappy, i wonder why they sell them then if they are useless? yeah they arent very thick at all! hhmmm maybe not a good example for me to use then! hehe

as for MicroFIBRE cloths, yeah i know what you mean i think we have some in our kitchen so i might try and get a hold of some of them...

with the 4 layers of terry towelling & microfleece, i'll use the polar fleece (that i have) instead with the 4 terry towelling.... that should do the trick? if not its all good practise for me anyway

im in the gold coast are you in Vic?
