e.

i know my brothers and I grew up on cloth diapers, I use them on my son once in a blue moon "Shame on me"

great video !

I just attempted my first cloth nappy as per your instructions and those of the website you attached. I have made a video of it (and put it as a video response to this video), although it was a failed attempt I will keep trying. I have never sewn anything before and am very proud of myself.

Excellent. I was shocked to find out the price of pre-made clothe diapers. These are great.

Haha, i loved the last fact of your video. very cool

awesome!!! thankyou so much for putting this up, I have been wondering how to make them, as I have brought quite a few and they cost alot ( not as much as disposables but more than making them yourself ) fantastic I am so glad I looked and found your video. I will be saving it and using it to help me for future referance.

I am making these nappies at the moment with your video help. Would like to know what measurements you would use to make an insert for the nappy pocket and what materials you use. Thanks for your wonderful help.

Hi, LOVE this instruction....will you please tell me where you got that pattern from? You are an inspiration!

I love the facts that you put in with your video. To me, using cloth is a "no duh!" type situation, but I've actually heard people ask "Why use cloth when we have modern easier things available?" It's shocking, but I guess not everyone thinks of the impact! I'm going to be a first time mom and I love making my own things. I'm going to start stockpiling these today! In fact, I'm going to the fabric store this instant.

Bye! :D

thanks so much this is going to help me so much

Wow! This makes me wish that I had a baby again. LOL

Done all in flannel like this it needs a cover such as a Bummi's superwhisperwrap/Thirsties.

Otherwise you can use wool- interlock or knitted, or covers made from fleece. THe lady who made this pattern sews Mile High Monkeys fleece covers for them and also now has her own covers pattern at her own site.

You could also just make the outer layer out of fleece instead and it will be largely leakproof. Not good for long car rides or if you're gonna let baby sit in it for a long time, but good.

Thank you so much!!

that was a help full video....THANKS

great video! Thanks for posting it.

You ROCK. Gandhi said you have to be the change you wish to see in the world. That's exactly what YOU have done by taking your time to video this and post on YouTube. Thanks to the camera person,too!!

I cant wait to make my own...what fabrics do you use to prevent leaks? Also do you have to use a cover with these and if so what kind??

You made a great video! It was great to actually watch a diaper being sewn. I really enjoyed your facts too!

No problem!! Happy to contribute...

THank you very much for posting this!
