- Does it work out cheaper in the long run to make my own rather than buying a heap of pre-made boosters online??
Yes most definitely! It's worth investing in a metre or two of bamboo. Have a look at the cost of ONE booster. They are an average of $10 plus postage.

- From what Ive read in some of the other threads, bamboo fleece would be best yea??
Bamboo is great for boosters. Microfibre is good too but it isn't as absorbant in my experience. And is prone to compression leaks.

- Of the nappies I own I have the most success with bamboo/microfibre combos....would it work to maybe sew afew layers of each together...is that the way it works??? Or is the bamboo material really thick already???
If that what works for you then by all means do it! You could sandwich it together in one piece or sew them together on one end.

- Do I need to layer the bamboo or does it come thick enough to just cut the shape and sew up the edges??
Depends on how you like folding I have made boosters with 3 layers overlocked into a rectangular shape. Approx 12x30cm. They do take longer to dry than one you need to fold up though.

- For my non-pocket nappies, is the bamboo fleece ok to sit near DS's skin or would I need something else to cover them with??
Bamboo is fine against the bum but it will be wet against the skin. You can use a microfleece liner. Don't confuse that with microfibre which can be irritating on the skin.
