I have a plain sorbet minkee one with a pink fleece inner which I bought preloved. It's my first choice for under trousers when you don't see the embroidery anyway. I'd like a couple more, particularly a raspberry minkee and an island flowers one

No but i still have some of those barely used here!! Never got on with the adjustable legs on my odd shapped children!!
I think going for prints without embroidery would be nice- their flower minkee is cute!!
They were the only pockets we ever managed with, aside from a couple of Preston's Pants that we had many moons ago. We loved our WN pockets.

I've not seen the fabric, but what about having a panel of plain colour across the front top and putting little ladybirds along there?

That's what I was going to suggest - use the ladybird fabric as the border cut and have the rest in a plain colour with embroidery on, or vice versa (use the ladybird fabric as the main nappy then have a border cut of plain fabric with embroidery on.) or ask Suzanne to embroider you a t-shirt to match the nappy

I thought of that but then they said for the plain fabric, don’t choose red or black because the embroidery wouldn’t show up on that either. Couldn’t really see another colour I liked! WN suggested green but I’m not keen on green. I thought of white but I’m a bit worried about it not staying white, I bet it’d go grey after a while. So a bit stuck really!
Thanks for your ideas xx

The only way to come to terms with it is collecting all the different minkee colours
