So I am on a diaper making venture. I went to Jo-Anne's which is the fabric store in our area and wanted to know if they had PUL fabric and coloured FOE(fold over elastic)...they had PUL in like two colors and only white elastic. They didn't have bamboo fabric, snaps or anything else needed to make diapers. So I had to start looking on line. Guess where everything I need comes from?
No not china....bloody Canada!
So I take myself up to canada to look for the things I need. Still no real luck. They have some stuff but for the life of me I can not find fold over colored elastic. So I use the white and make due. My diapers did come out really nice. But something just wasn't right. I wanted a removable liner so I wouldn't have to change the whole diaper if it was soiled but couldn't figure out how to do it so I gave up on it for now.
So now that I've spent hours of trouble going here there and everywhere to get frustrated and disappointed in the availability of diaper making supplies guess what Jo-Anne's Fabric store now carries......
A Whole Line of Diaper Making Supplies!!!! Damn you Jo-Anne and your being 3 months late! They also had a book on how to make diapers...after I spent countless hours on designing my own diaper pattern. But one good thing came of this....I found out how to do the removable liner like the g-diapers...didn't want to use a g-diaper pattern incase it was copy written. but now I can use the insert pattern and fit it to the diapers I already made...viola! removable inserts to hold the soaker pads
