girls, dont know if this is any good, but for those who were making there own nappies & wanted PUL - this ebay shop sells nappy sized cuts in diff. colours quite cheap.

Dunno if its any good, but for £2 you cant really complain?!

ooh thats pocket bots on ebay! I paid a pound more for mine! cheeky!! I'll buy it from ebay now instead!

 

[xerinx]

If youre only buying 1 nappy cut its cheaper as pocketbots website charges £2 postage but if you are buying more than 2 cuts buy from actual website as only have to pay £2 postage instead of postage on each cut

 

[Hayley90]

glad it's of use, didn't wanna post a crappy one xx

You might be able to get them to combine the postage on ebay, it's worth asking

Pink23: They are dead cute Did you do an elastic waist or a drawstring?

 

[pink23]

On a DIY theme.... I read on a forum somewhere, some American Cloth Mum's using microfibre cloths that you can buy from the supermarket cleaning section as inserts.

Aldi do a pack of 2 large MF cloths for £1.19 - they can be folded up to make fab inserts for adding an extra bit of absorbancy but keeping down the bulk.... plus, they are coloured, they currently have green, yellow, blue and lilac

I bought poundland microfibre floor cloths!! Got 5 for a pound and they work brill!! Only white but no one sees them!!

I'm getting seriously impatient for my kam snap pliers and rings for my ring sling to arrive

I have finished a blue flame print nappy but need snaps before Emma can model it and have a hemmed the edges, etc of the ring sling and just need the rings to finish sewing it. I hope the rings arrive soon since I was making the ring sling for a camping trip this weekend....

rather pointless post- ho hum.... How's everyone else doing?

Has anyone made boosters with Zorb? I'm contemplating making a trim nighttime diaper...

They dont have any in the shop near us

And yeah, no one see's them but they look pretty hanging on the line to dry

 

[xerinx]

Hahaha true! But i dye everything anyway!!

Ladies, would any of you be interested in buying some material off me? I bought way too much.

I have a piece of bright jigsaw fleece, cats fleece, giraffe velboa and cheetah velboa. Can get measurements and pics if any interest xx

 

[purple_kiwi]

i made a giraffe with some extra fabric i had left from my mei tai. im really starting to like making toys lol. its easier then diapers lol i had a lady that was going to give me fabric off freecycle but she never emailed me again

 

[gills8752]

ooh lovely! I need to get some more sewing done. I've had a busy week and tidied all my bits away. But i've got an overlocker and some elastic and bits n pieces coming soon so that will get me started again!

 

[Kaites]

purple_kiwi- cute toys!
gills- I'm jealous of your overlocker!

Here are our latest nappy efforts. Doing a side snap this time. We're still waiting on the kam snaps but since it's Canada Day today, I had to use sew on snaps on the Canada Day nappy until the kam snaps arrive. Still waiting on the ring sling rings too so looks like I won't be using the water sling camping this weekend since we leave tomorrow- grr- I hate Canada Post!
