i know you are a good at sewing, so wandered if this was going to be any good,

after experitmenting with making alesha some nappies a firend of mine asked me to make her little boy who is 5 a couple for night times as he still in nappies at night , so i used the RRP pattern but made it bigger, i added about 3/4 inch extra all around the edge and it actually to big for him, she sent it back for me to add more velcro lol, it worth a try! :wink:

I actually use the Ottobre pattern to make my own, but I'm being lazy at the moment :giggle: And I need to experiment with the pattern a bit and try and make a stuffable fitted nappy (Like a pocket but with no PUL) so that I can boost them for nights and also so they'll dry faster. My Ottobre's at the moment are PERFECT night nappies with a hemp booster, but they take all night to dry out on the radiator :(

I've got a large UDNN for Lucas but it is too big so I use it for jon. It will only just do up and he has a 21inch waist. I dont think you have much chance for Dawn I'm afraid. The x-large might be ok though.

:giggle: Must be sooooo frustrating for you trying to find nappies that fit. Wish there was something I could suggest but I think it is a case a specifically asking for them in bigger sizes IYSWIM. :hug:

Yeah. I've emailed WN anyways. I've got a few fitteds on hold too and two pockets so need to pay for them and I'll just need some more wool and fleece I think.
Me and OH need to hurry up and move in and make more babies :giggle: If Dawnie's PT'ing, where will I get my fluff fix?! lol. I'll have to babysit my friends' little ones. they're new born and in cloth :thumbsup:
