Heya my fellow sew'n'sews! 😜 I can't believe it's been 6 years since I attempted to start RUclips tutorials! And I can't believe this video got 43K views whilst I've stepped away due to being super busy! I actually have a more refined and streamlined way to sew nappies now, but everything in this video should help newbies to visualise the basice of how nappies come together! Don't take any of this as gospel though, but take away the bits you need and go for gold, working out the ways that work best for you! All that said, who is still around sewing nappies? They don't seem to be selling these days, but don't worry because it ALWAYS makes a comeback with the newer parents who want to embrace cloth nappies for their babies! Swings and roundabouts, am I right? ❤❤
Hallo!! I really enjoy your videos and the lovely clear and sweet way you explain every step! yes, I also make yse of Arfy's patterns, and enjoy her videos as well!! Such a blessing to have people to teach us all we want to know!! Iam in Perth in Australia, and have such a hard time to find some of the materials I would like to have, so, if you do not mind, please Jess, could you share with me where you buy your coloured fold over elastic? we really only have Spotlight here, and they only have white!! They do not ewven have any microfleece; but that I can get from Snaps Australia, as bamboo fleece and only solid colours PUL.Please also tell me where do you source your patterned PUL from? I have also been looking despertely for Pellon Vinyl Fuse, or Heat n Bond Iron on Vinyl - or some kind of something I can spray/iron on/ paint over the beautiful May Gibbs Gumnut Babies fabric Spotlight do have!! You posted this video 4 years go-- i am curious to know how you baby and toddler are now?? MAasybe toddler, Pre=schooler and another baby now?

Great video but i cannot work out from the pattern names listed above which patterns they are on the link given. There are no patterns that correspond to those names.
Hi. I have just discovered this fantastic tutorial but am wondering about the hook and loop width and placement of the large strips that fold over (i.e is the hook on the outside?). Thank you
Hey Kelly. I'd say give the XL Rainbow Catcher a try! I've used it for my bigger girls when they've needed a night nappy for bed wetting around 6 years old. It's a side snapping nappy which is nice and trim and comfy. You can buy it on Esty now, but the pattern maker has stepped back from it now, so you can reach out to other makers in the Facebook group 'How to make your own Modern Cloth Nappies and Woolies' for help and support if needed!
When I do projects like this I use a heavy duty needle. Also, change your needle often, make sure to put a new needle in when you are starting a new project. You should be able to use a regular presser foot.
@@MamaBanana I saw the link, but I'm having a hard time figuring out which pattern it is because there are many and I don't find any with OSFM Ruffled Leg Fitted Template. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong place but I don,t understand. Thanks.
I use a Brother NS35 sewing machine, never skipped a beat! And a Janome 644D overlocker, and a Brother Lock 2504D overlocker. I have 2 overlockers as I produce a high volume of nappies and garments, so I need to be able to switch quickly between the machines for different uses. I do recommend those machines as I really don't ever have any issues with any of them! And you definitely get what you pay for, so if you don't want to be pulling your hair out, quality machines and threads are paramount! :)
My niece had premie twins. Their tiny butts were smaller than the palm of my hand. Even using a premie pattern, their tiny chicken legs had too much room. 👼🤪😊
Hi, can I ask roughly what dimensions your pattern is? I’m looking at buying some PUL online and their nappy cut is 50cm X 50cm and I’m wondering if this would be enough fabric to cover this particular pattern? I’ve looked at the pattern itself and the post that goes with it but can’t seem to find any mention of dimensions for the piece of fabric needed
Hi Claire! Sorry I didn't see this sooner! Generally 50x50 cuts are acceptable. I sell nappy panels via my online store www.sewtopiafabrics.com which are approx 60cm wide x 55cm long as many of my WAHMs use larger patterns. I personally use the Rocket Bottoms fitted for my OSFM base, and 50x50 is more than enough. What pattern are you goung to use? You will need to print it off and measure to make sure of the meausrements. I know the Happy Hippos nappy patterns are quite long, so 50x50 won't work for that.
Hi, I'm trying to make my first cover and am using snaps for the first time. With double thickness pul the sensors keep popping off. Do I need longer snaps, or could I be doing something wrong? Thank you

Yes! you are an amazing lady. Thank you for explaining everything so well. ❤
You are amazing, your instructions are super easy, clear, and brilliant. Thank you
however...the person who is writing the captions is not only not an Australian speaker, but doesn't appear to actually speak English.

Hello cannot find the patterns you mention on the link, can you help
Hi, Why bother with a microfleece layer if this is just being used as a wrap?
Great video but i cannot work out from the pattern names listed above which patterns they are on the link given. There are no patterns that correspond to those names.
Hi. I have just discovered this fantastic tutorial but am wondering about the hook and loop width and placement of the large strips that fold over (i.e is the hook on the outside?). Thank you
What sewing machine is that? Would like to check it out.
Hello, I was wondering if you had or knew of a pattern that would fit a 50 pound child? Hes in size 6t pants.

Hi I’m struggling with top stitching my pul nappies. The stitches are skipping. Can you recommend a foot and a needle type please?
When I do projects like this I use a heavy duty needle. Also, change your needle often, make sure to put a new needle in when you are starting a new project. You should be able to use a regular presser foot.
You could use a walking foot. Helps with pulling multiple layers of fabric through evenly.
Where can I find a pattern please. Thank you
It’s from prefold to fitted. Link is in the description box.
@@MamaBanana I saw the link, but I'm having a hard time figuring out which pattern it is because there are many and I don't find any with OSFM Ruffled Leg Fitted Template. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong place but I don,t understand. Thanks.
I'm in Thailand. Just can't source plastic for these, diapers or plastic pants. I've been on loads of usual websites. Any help you can give please.
Hi l cant download the free pattern please send to me🥺
What machine and overlocker do you use please? And do you recommmed them?
I use a Brother NS35 sewing machine, never skipped a beat! And a Janome 644D overlocker, and a Brother Lock 2504D overlocker. I have 2 overlockers as I produce a high volume of nappies and garments, so I need to be able to switch quickly between the machines for different uses.

In regards to the pattern in the video and blog, I honestly cannot recall the measurements as it was so long ago and I haven't used them since!
WT s the name of the printed fabric
Chances are it's "Pul"
The fabric is PUL, but the print I don't know sorry.
What about all that scratchy sticky is on baby body?
You will put a soft fitted nappy under these covers! ;) This doesn't touch bub's skin!!
