Thanks everyone for your honesty . When there's so much to buy and prepare it's nice to have some honest opinions.

OK- so I'm going to get some material and give it a go- much cheaper and will get my sister to try it out with her baby for me. This is going to sound crazy and I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that I am clueless when it comes to fabrics etc. Cotton jersey is like stretchy T-shirt material- am I right?

Thanks again everyone! Am about to check out the website Diva- thanks so much!
