At one point I was dreaming nappies.
Yeah... I know...
I bought a sewing machine, an overlocker and a snap press machine to make my own modern cloth nappies with dream intentions of making them to sell. It never happened. The selling of them anyway..
I was in love with making my own, it was seriously THAT easy. I couldn't get over the part where I made a half dozen nappies for 30cents each.
Over time the obsession part came to an end, a bought disposables and used both cloth and disposables.
Disposable are MUCH easier to work with. Especially when you look at extra washing and storage for your cloth love. Oh and stuffing the pockets, clipping in the boosters and pairing fitteds with covers.
Good intentions sometimes fail.
I eventually hated pockets with a passion. As each pocket lost elastic I threw it out, not even going to try fix it.
Many nappies went by unused. Sitting in my way, taking up space.
Now I would only use an all-in-one. No pockets, no fitted with cover.
As for cloth saving money...
Over the years...
I've seen people buy and sell and buy and sell and buy and sell a continuos supply of modern cloth nappies...
Meaning so much money gets suckled up in postage costs and not exactly what you want...
The obsession part taking over the lives of cloth loving mums who give up all sorts to purchase their 123rd nappy for one bum... You know it happens!!
So I'm barely interested in the cloth obsession.. Selling off and throwing and giving a stash big enough for 3 babies full time in nappies.. And selling the overlocker, snap press and possibly the sewing machine...
