    Best place to buy bamboo inserts?

    I have heaps of pockets and I want to double up on the inserts. Where is the best place to buy bamboo inserts? Or, if it is as simple as buying the fabric, what is it called at spotlight?

    Thanks

    You can't get the material at spotlight (well it wasn't a stocked item last time I went to make them).

    But a friend and I got some bamboo from snaps australia (cause they stocked everthing we needed to make a full nappy)..

    Thanks! Do I want the bamboo fleece? And does it need hemming or just cutting?

    I am not a big sewer and don't claim to know much about making nappies.. We were just giving a go as we both liked using them, strapped for cash and bored, Lol.. So this info might not be the best guidance, but it worked of us.

    We used the Bamboo fleece, and washed before sewing in case it shrunk, and overlocked the layers together (is that what you mean by hemming and cutting?)..

    Ha! I am the other way round! Too many inserts, not enough pockets!

    Do I sniff a sewing day coming on? I'm not doing much right now, too sick to even contemplate, but when I stop spewing, you're welcome to. I have made a few of my own... they're not my best boosters, but they don't suck. I also have made some cotton boosters from a local laundry's cast-ff cotton towels. So cheep cheep and actually really good. Just not trim.

    I got my bamboo from Nappies Covered, but it was part of a whole bundle of stuff so it ended up being a good deal.

    Yeah let's sew / dye? Sounds like fun . I was thinking of buying a few sqm of fabric from Snaps Australia. No rush. But I haven't seen you for ages, not since I went bush! Will be fun.
