thinking of making my own cloth nappies - any good fabric suppliers?

[mummypig]

I may not end up making any, but I still have 4 weeks to go before ds3's due date and I was wondering about making some shaped nappies myself. Can anyone recommend a supplier of PUL and microfibre terry? I can get hold of other fabrics fairly easily and may even just chop up some old terry squares I have lying around from the other boys.

You can get PUL from Wee Notions or from Babeco (do a google search and you should find them) or from US ebay sellers. I don't know about microterry.

Thanks Roskva, will have a look at those sites.

Have you looked at the Diaper Sewing Divas forum? It's mostly US based but they have great resources. I bought my PUL from Nuptune Fabrics which was fine but for patterns you'll have to look elsewhere.

thanks aikigypsy, I have found some patterns already but just wasn't sure where to get the fabric from. Getting quite excited about making them now .

There is also www.nappymakers.com

Good luck new baby

Babeco do everything and are lovely.

Patterns... I meant prints. I made all mine with solid-color outers and now wish that I'd gotten some cute prints.

This place seems to have some nice ones, but I don't know if they ship internationally. Guess I'll just have to make more soon .

Oh I see what you mean now [embarrassed]. Yes it's fun to have funky prints isn't it?

i think everyone in New Zealand makes their own nappies
