if this is do-able but.....................
how hard would it be to sew velour over microfleece on snap in inserts? Assuming one purchases such a machine and can manage to turn it on (lol)........
eg my lovely widdlewuns, dragonflymagiks and gf's - that would mean no messing with silk liners all the time!
also, would one be able to somehow attach velour to a pocket nappy .... if so, how..........?
TIA!! !
*charmalea* has no idea either :dunno:
Sam scratches head and ponders for a sec....
I would be inclined to make velour lined mini boosters to lay over the microfleece or make complete new ones to replace them with if you had access to a snap press ;)
Sorry if that's not an option. I have no idea on the pockets that wouldn't involve remaking them.
not sure how to do the first one but the second I have an idea ...
Machines usually have one side attached and a free side - mine is very old (my nan use to make me dresses on it) and you can get a sock over the bit where the bobbin line comes up IYKWIN.
Pocket nappies are kind of sock like in that they are closed one end one the other SO if you cut a piece of velour a little larger than the nappy stretched (for the leg bit)and iron the edges to create a neat edge. Pin velour to the top of the liner and start at one side of the open nappy, sew down the leg bit but not on the elastic with it pulled taught (so it bunches back again), sew around the front back down the other leg then across the opening bit.
You could probably cover one side of the snap in liner in the same way?
That was probably clear as mud :doh:
If you have an overlocker, or a sewing machine with an overlock stitch, it should be fairly easy to sew an extra layer on top of a snap-in booster. It may not look as good, or as neat, as the original booster did but it would be an easy operation. You just need to cut the velour to the right size and shape, pin and sew.
you're game woman.
make sure you try it on your non fav's first!!
What if you were to cut silk liners bigger so they covered the whole nappy area? like make an hour glass shape so they werent fiddly little liners? make sence lol
lol - i just wanna try to have liners/nappies in the same wash, instead of a seperate wash for the silk liners
I am going to see my mum on monday and see what she says..........
