In brief: a flawed cloth V’s disposables survey was brought to the media’s attention here in NZ due to going-on’s in the UK, presenting cloth in an unfavourable manner. A rebuttal press release from TNN and members was published. On a brighter note, the Wanganui Council have agreed to put in place a cloth nappy subsidy scheme starting later this month.

I’m not doing TradeMe picks this week, instead here’s some video’s from YouTube (enjoy)!!!

Sew your own

• Make your own fitted cloth diapers. View here. This is only one of many ways to sew a fitted cloth nappy without a purchased pattern and is recommended more for beginners.

There are a whole heap of other video clips on YouTube. I simply got sick of watching them all to see if I wanted to feature them here on www.clothnappy.co.nz. But beware, searching for ‘cloth diapers’ or ‘cloth nappies’ can be hazardous to the contents of your stomach. Be wary of which videos you click if using these search terms on YouTube.
