ClaireEmily said... These are great nappies! I love the picture of Elmo modelling them. Hemp and bamboo fabrics are very absorbent and I used these a lot with my baby. If you haven't seen it there is lots of nappy sewing info here: http://www.ozclothnappies.org/info2.html
Also, PUL is a great choice of cover fabric, I used that a lot and lanolised wool wraps as a night cover. Best of luck for your new arrival and congrats on your lovely cloth nappies! 5/24/09 6:39 PM

Just cut out a large rectangular shape to place in the crotch area. I used up to 3 layers, so basically just folded a towel into thirds. You can also add the absorbent layer on top of the diaper (but not microfiber!) in between it and the baby's bottom. This way, your diaper dries faster. Good luck with cloth diapering and your new baby. 5/24/09 9:30 PM
