    My new addiction... making cloth wipes! :)

    These are not to sell, just me playing around and boy isn't it fun!

    I am currently using flanelette one side and microfibre toweling the otherside, I plan to use them for DD's bum and also some for cleaning her face after dinner/lunch as they are a lot softer than facewashers....

    I am hoping to buy some minky and make blackets with minky one side and flannel the other with some taggies.

    We have quite a few friends all due to have bubs shortly so hoping they are "OK" to use as gifts

    What else can I make....

    oh really... I am not certain it is a toweling, very very soft, maybe I have used the wrong thing

    I have just googled it and found a website, that has info about it, saying that it can dry out babies skin if used in nappies directly against the skin, I might have to go back to Spotty's and see what it is that I have and might have to find something else

    Bibs might have to be to go for it.. if it is the wrong thing

    Does it feel like it sorta sticks to your fingers a bit? Like, doesn't feel really nice? Like, whats the stuffing on bumg's or other pockets? (do you have pockets?) Some microfibre does feel soft, but its awfully drying on your hands after a few seconds of touching it - I can't stand touching it, usually make DH stuff all the pockets..

    Microfleece is really soft though

    ETA - I just realised how many times I used the word "like". Sorry for people reading this that hate people that say "like" a lot.. LOL

    I don't have any of those pockets, I have Pea Pods and they have bamboo, but from your description I think that it is the microfibre , I have made 8 too, I guess I will have to work out what to use them for now, or just use the flanelette side
    Poo!!!!!

    Thankyou for that Mel, better that I know now than later!

    Kate looks like I will use the microfibre to back some funky new bibs!!
