Making cloth wipes

have you ever thought about making your own cloth wipes?

It is So easy!  And to make it even easier there is a video tutorial available for you to watch :)

Cloth Wipes can be made using numerous fabrics -

  • flannelette
  • bamboo fleece
  • bamboo velour
  • cotton velour
  • microfleece

I tend to use the one fabric on both sides for my wipes, but you can make a wipe that is say bamboo one side with the other side microfleece.

This makes a wipe side (the microfleece) and a clean up side (the bamboo).

Wipes are treated the same way as your nappies, in fact you can throw them in with your nappies for washing.

Here is that great video I was telling you about.  Enjoy sewing your cloth wipes!

P.S – A serger is an overlocker

Lest we forget

“They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning
We will remember them.
Lest we forget.

The Baby Show – Melbourne – Our stall in 2010

We had a fabulous time at the baby show in Melbourne.  I was so wonderful to have so many people interested in our products, and wonderful to have so many people interested in changing over to cloth nappies!

I thought you might like a little look at our stand.  We recieved a lot of comments about how stunning it was, and I have to agree :)   See for yourself below.

Cloth Nappy Trial

At last, Choice have revied three brands of Modern Cloth Nappies

In previous years we found the great majority of parents (95%) are using disposable nappies. But there’s been a shift. One in five of our disposable nappy trialists told us they are using cloth nappies or a mix. And a recent CHOICE Online poll showed 40% of over 1000 respondents preferred cloth nappies. Recent research from the University of Queensland showed that home-washed reusable nappies, washed in cold water in a front-loading washing machine and line-dried, are the most environmentally friendly option.

There are now a variety of modern cloth nappies that are easy to use and help your purse strings. Our short web search turned up 43 different brands. When you consider a typical baby goes through about 6000 nappies, it’s a mountain of nappies that are not ending up as landfill.

Nappies Covered are also licensed to make and sell Chloe Toes Nappies.

Chloe Toes have a unique contoured waistline that is not found in other cloth nappies.  The front of the nappy is scooped out for an “under-belly” fit that is very trim (fits under most clothing) and makes newborn “umbilical cut-outs” unnecessary.  Instead of fastening around the baby’s rounded belly, Chloe Toes nappies snap securely across the hips below the belly, which helps prevent them from sagging.  The snap sockets are set at an angle which both improves fit and allows the rise to “grow” with baby as you move up to larger snap settings.  Attractive narrow snap tabs have two snaps spaced widely to provide security and prevent “wing droop”.  The narrow wings also allow for a less restrictive fit through hip and thigh, which is more comfortable for active, crawling, walking babies.  And, while the front of the nappy has a “low-rise” fit, the back waist curves upward again to provide full coverage of baby’s bottom and full protection against accidents.  The foldover (FOE) elastic bindings provide a very attractive finish.

They have all aspects covered for making your nappies with sewing tutorials, free patterns and sewing kits that contain all you need to make a cloth nappy.

Nappies Covered will deliver worldwide!

National Day of Action – My Body, My Baby, My Right to Decide Thursday February 18, 2010

Women around Australia have been shocked and dismayed at the Rudd Government’s continued refusal to recognise their new maternity ‘reforms’ will remove Australian women’s fundamental human right to choose where and how she gives birth.
At the birthplace of democracy in our country, women are standing up for their basic democratic rights. In Ballarat on Thursday February 18th women and their families will join together and tell Kevin Rudd –

“MY BODY, MY BABY, MY RIGHT TO DECIDE.”
