DIY Baby Stuff

I made baby wipes from flannel material I did 2 layers and then overlocked. I would still only do 2 layers with muslin too. I made mine so that they fit nicely into a ice-cream container box without folding which works for me.

I used two layers for the ones i made. Although i think it was double muslin (does that exist?)

Tastic i made muslin ones and zigzaged around the edge, did it on quite a small stitch. We dont have an overlocker either. They have been going for 6months now and still going strong.

I keep mine dry and then just wet at the sink before nappy change and then they go in the bucket with the dirty cloth nappy. Mainly because i dont have the time to put them all into a box lol. I pull them off the line and shove them dry in the side of the change table (no time for folding )

thanks for that angel4!
Ive made my own nappy liners and now Im wanting to make the wipes then I can chuck them all in the wash instead of the wipes in the bin, the liners in the toilet and nappies in the wash, was alot of work lol

I used something similar for my wipes - it was more like gauze than muslin too. I did it 4 layers thick (in half, then half again) and overlocked it. They're still going strong 10 months on...

Yup we keep them dry in one of those huggies wipes boxes that I got given (although I'm a nerd and fold them up so they come out like tissues come out of a tissue box ). Mine are two layers and I zigzag, then turn inside out and straight top stitch. Takes a bit longer but they look pretty

I keep mine dry but have a small container of water where I change E's nappies so that I can wet them down there. That way it doesn't matter if I need more than I think

We have been using squares of microfleece (i think) like on the inside of mcns. Fantastic as you dont have to hem them just cut them up great for sewing challenged people like myself lol! They are super soft and dry really fast too. I got 1/2 m for $4.50 on special at spotlight and got heaps of cloths out of them.

We just use some chux type cloths from the $2 shop. $3 for a pack of 20 that I cut into quarters so $3 for 80. I only cut up about 20 so far and they have been going strong for about 3 months, wash up well and dont matter if they accidentally get thrown out - BARGAIN! We have a few muslin facecloths that I use for baths and to catch little spills.

I thought of just using the microfleece! its nice and soft

LOL T_Rex!

I bought small muslin squares to use for face and bum wipes (different colours!) when DS was teeny. They are the same thickness as the bigger muslin squares we used as burp cloths etc. So only one layer. They were fine, although they were a bit small once C got past newborn-ish size. If I was making them myself I'd do them more like a proper flannel size.

I kept them dry and filled a small bowl with water when I needed to use them.
