    Oh poo bum - sorry Vic Can you put another layer of material over the top of it instead of letting them go to waste or not using them?

    I think I will buy the microfleece, cover the microfibre and then overlock again, they will be super absorbant wipes

    Maybe I make some change table mats (I uses flanelette on ours) over the foam mat thingy as it gets cool with a bare bum, so perhaps I will make a long strip that tucks under each end, with flanel on the top and the microfibre underneath and then it will be nice an absorbant

    Minkee would be okay wouldn't it as well, on the skin that is?

    So many ideas popping into my head!

    I got some microfleece and minkee today got a few colours and lots of white to match soem of the flannel I had already bought, I think i will have to find the bamboo velour online, but I didn't look that hard for it when I was in spotty's and lincraft today. It is all int he wash now, then will go in the dryer (on low) to preshrink it, so hopefully tonight I can start sewing it all up again. I really wish I had my sewing machine here as I really want to make these blankets too now!!!

    you wont find bamboo velour in spotlight hon itsnot worthy enough of them

    you could also use a layer of single sided terry from spotlight to go over the top
