Well Peachy, I have now made three of them. 2 using the S/M pocket pattern and the last one using the L pattern. I think the Large is a better fit and Tom is little. How did you find the fits? With the large I could fit the cotton babies inserts in and a hemp one so much happier about that. I also top stitched it for a change.
Off to find more fabric.....how are you going? |

nzpiper just in regards to fit, you might want to check that the little box on the side of the pattern measures 1cm x 1cm. If it is even slightly smaller than that it will affect the pattern sizing and make it a smaller fit.
Also the seam allowance is only 0.5cm, so perhaps try those as DS still fits the S/M wee weka pocket we have, and can get at least 6 layers of inserts in there. |

nzpiper I have made 4 pockets out of my first lot of fabric. I have since ordered two more colours but I don't like them, they are fluro and I am so not into fluro!! So I have sent them back to GB's and they are sending me some other colours I have chosen!
I love my cloth nappies, I just need more than 4 though!! I am just using the S/M size pocket pattern. It is pretty big on Lauren as she is quite skinny, but is really long, so they should fit her for quite a while I would think! ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com">
