Thanks, I was leaning towards 20s too. Might go & measure the ones on my nappies to see what they are.

 

[xerinx]

Yea good idea!

Hmmmm,all the ones on my nappies are around 11mm so I'm none the wiser. I thought the sizes referred to mm but obviously not. Might have to email the seller.

 

[xerinx]

Hahaha i dunno but i should get mine monday so once ive figured them out ill let you know!!

Looks like 20s are the ones we want for nappies
HTH

Well, all this popper talk resulted in me ordering one off ebay Looks like I'll be converting all my homemade nappies to poppers, lol I have a feeling it'll take weeks to arrive though- lots of time to sew up new fluff as I wait! I also ordered some nylon rings for another ring sling. I'm going to make one with a sports mesh material for at the beach. I just hope they arrive in time for me to make it before our camping trip in 2 weeks time.

Next thing I know, you'll have me buying a serger

Oooo I really want one of those too! I cannot justify it at all though

 

[Kaites]

Same here- I looked at them a couple weeks ago and they are so much more expensive than a sewing machine. I'd really need to have some kind of wahm business to justify the cost or buy used and convince my mum she needs a serger to share with me, lol

Happy 2 mths to you and Gabriella

Think I'm gonna have a go at making a Maya Tei. I already have a Mei Tei but I suffer from back problems & it can be a bit uncomfy if I wear her for long periods of time. Is it just a matter of making a Mei Tei body but usng stretchy, wide material for the straps? I was thinking of using like a lycra/spandex material which is what i used for my home-made Moby.

[cath]
