I've just been reading this thread... and I make mine with Terry (touching the baby), 4layers of terry sewn to the bit touching the baby and just a cotton print on the outside to look good. I don't really use covers, I like to know when he's wet. I've made a few and they work fantastically well on Jensen. I'm trying to sell one on eBay now, but I've only got watchers... No-one wants to buy it. I gave one as a christmas present to a lady at mothers group, and they all think I should see if I could sell any at the markets... How well do you think I would go?

My materials I use are mainly the ones we have at home(or in most cases, at MIL's), which is her old stuff and stuff thats been donated to us... We don't have a big selection, and most of it is a bit girly.... Can't put it on a boy!

Is there anything that I should do differently?

Thanks!

I make my own nappies too. PUL outer, flannel soaker(taken out to wash), microfleece inner. I used to use polarfleece as the outer, but then tried the PUL, and will never look back. I tried to sell my nappies at the local market, but found that ppl were too lazy to wash them and stuck with the diposables. No matter how much you tell them that it isn't hard to wash them, they dont believe you. Will check out your nappy on ebay.
If you use mircrofleece next t the babys skin instead, they will always feel dry on their skin (unless they are soaking wet that is) You can still feel if they are wet through PUL as it isn't fully waterproof. As you can imagine, it breathes so you must be able to feel the moisture at some stage.

I looked at your blog pics and yep, I reckon your photo instructions are ace! Even I could do that hehe. Thanks so much for your time and patience letting us beginners get the know how from you.
