LOLOLOL!!!!!! I *never* would have thought of embroidering on a diaper!


I was in a fabric shop a couple of days ago, and there is a "$1 a yard"
corner. We got talking to a young hispanic lady, who said she bought
that sort of fabric for diapers for her baby. Real cloth diapers were
too expensive, and obviously disposable ones were out of the question. I
wonder how the dyes in the fabrics worked and would they bother the baby.

The colors and dyes are not much of a problem, especially after a few times
through the bleach when washing. The real problem is selecting the 50% or more
cotton cloth for this use. 100% cotton flannel works best.

She was looking for 100% cotton......probably that is what she did.

A zillion years back, that is all we used........and you are so right,
the worn ones had a million uses.
