i've just splurged and bought myself some MCN's. I want to make my own liners - whats the best material to make them from?? im using throw away ones atm, but want to stop doing that soon...
microfleece.
you can get it from online nappy fabric suppliers, sometimes they have it at spotlight, but more so in winter. low pill polar fleece works fine too, its just a tad thicker.
I checked out nappy works, for the $3 that i pay, what does that get me?? like say 1m of material?? or just a square, like terry flat size? i'm clueless when it comes to materials..
lol im clueless when it comes to measurements. 45 by 50 ..yup maybe a terry square size??
get out a ruler and work it out
yup you just cut it the size you want - rectangles are easiest.
if you look on cloth nappy site that sell precut packs of liners (like say bubblebubs) i think you would pay that for a pack of 3 - 5.
my liners are roughly 10cm by 20cm...id imagine you could make more doing it this way for cheaper??
Oh and I meant to add, the measurement I use for liners is about 30 x 13 cms, but Blake wears large nappies, so Allie may not need them so long or wide.
I went to a fabric shop the other day, and spoke to the lady about wanting to make some liners. I said about using microfleece, and she was like "oh no! that wouldn't be suitable!..blah blah blah..." Wonder why she was saying that? Guess she had no idea?????
LOL Lee she obviously has no idea! Microfleece makes great liners, I prefer it to polar fleece. Most people have no idea about MCNs.
Spotlight or Lincraft usually have some even in summer you should be bale to get some polar. Fleece is usually very wide so you'd get tonnes of liners in 1m of fabric!!!
