Hello all!

I’ve found an awesome pattern by Kwik Sew (3690 if anyone’s interested) for reuseable nappies and was wondering if anyone’s had any experience of making their own nappies at all? The pattern can make all-in-ones, fitted cloth and covers for them.

Any advice would be hugely appreciated, like problems you had making them or where you sourced your fabric from, the best fabrics to use etc…

Muchos gracias!

Emi, x

A friend of mine, often uses towels like terries.  Not particularly slimline, but does the job well.

Thanks, was thinking about that for the lining in between the waterproof one and something soft to go against baby’s skin. x
