oh bugger, I have some large SIO that I got off trade me and the elastic is naffed, and I suck at sewing, but I knew they were naffed, and only got them for the inserts anyway!

I'm so proud of myself - I actually fixed one 
I figured I'd start with one and see if it worked before I went to all the bother of doing the lot, and she's wearing it now and so far so good. It's looking pretty snug around her legs, so I'm pretty stoked I don't have to spend $350 on new ones!
What colours are your covers aethelia... I might be interested

I got this off here a while ago when someone else posted the link. Um I have a dark purple and a green one- it isnt the lime and its not the dark green, its in between- they are old colours that you cant buy anymore. The covers are in great condition except for the elastic being naffed.

Have they been prewashed a few times? I found i had this problem until they had been washed enough.

hmmm well they leaked at start and i put it down to not being washed enough, but now i cant think that that would be the problem anymore. i soaked my AIOs and SIOs a bit at the start so maybe i need to do that to the tuttos too?

if you look up itti bitti on facebook, they will be able to help out, I just occasionally do a vinegar only wash, and then a hot wash, but I havent ahd any problems with my tutto- maybe you could try having a microfibre booster under the top one?
