 Topic: Pocket nappy Qs
Posted: 13 July 2008 at 12:35pm |

Ok, I am finally going to get my A into G and make some pocket nappies. I have a few questions first:
Does anyone know where to get a OSFA pocket nappy pattern? I really like having OSFA so this would be my preference. I can't seem to find one on TNN website
Snaps vs Velcro - which is best? We have velcro on our OSFA fitteds and always thought that was best as I could have them done up where ever I liked but everyone seems to have snaps. Plus I have noticed that our velcro has started to get a bit fluffy
What should the inserts be made from? I would say that Jack is a standard wetter so would need something small(?) for the day and something that will hold for 12+ hrs at night. And am I better to make inserts or buy them?

OSFA nappy pattern: can't help you there sorry, I made my own. Maybe you could try and do the same?
Snaps vs velcro: personal preference really, I prefer snaps and have some velcro naps but I do have to go and pick out all the lint etc from them every now and then.
Inserts: Microfibre inserts sound fine for Jack. a combination of hemp and microfibre I find works best at night. It's up to you if you choose to make or buy them. They aren't hard to make but are best overlocked.

There's a person on TNN who has their own OSFM/OSFA (I don't know if it would fit nb, but definately small-large) If you have an account you can PM Ditto and ask nicely for it. Like all the other free patterns you just can't use it for profit etc etc.

Thanks ladies. I have an account with TNN but haven't been on it for ages. Will try Ditto
Stacey, I had thought about making my own pattern but as I am not familiar with pockets I am a bit nervous. Hopefully I can get a pattern from Ditto. Will look at buying inserts then as Mum's overlocker isn't always reliable and probably more hassle than it's worth

There are some really cheap ones on TM at the moment. Someone is selling 10 mf inserts for $30.

That's sounds like a good idea then. Microfibre isn't the most friendly material for overlockers either.
