Lol I can fix it for ya, I do like chocolate.... They are pretty easy to fix, you just need the time to sit down and do them- I taught myself- had to cause I couldnt justify throwing my old ones out or selling them!

You're the best..PM me your adress and I'll post it and some choccies
I do not have the patenice to do it. I try, I try to sew etc but I just get half way thru something and give up.
Sooo, I found these nappies made by Cinnamon on FB they're freakin cute and I already want one!!
I def buy for print rather then absorbancy or convinience which is naughty. Altho I've been lucky so far and not had any duds!

Lol I could I suppose. I have no idea what to charge tho! Chocolate is much easier to trade in, that way I dont feel guilty buying it rather than 'real' food

I am TOTALLY addicted to cloth nappies! So pleased I'm back working part time now as I was putting a serious dent in my savings... Future babies is my go to excuse when DP asks about why I've bought more nappies! I actually have over 10 that haven't even been worn yet - they are washed and ready to go though!
Aethalia - I reckon you could charge for materials, postage and time... I think you'd get quite a fair bit of interest from here and it could be a nice little earner for you...could fund your cloth nappy obsession!!
I don't have any that need doing but I'd definitely get in touch with you if I did.
Can I give you a tip - I read it on the itti bitti Aust FB page...someone else who is redoing elastic suggested using 10mm elastic instead of the same as what is in there originally...after a bit of trial and error they reckoned that this elastic was perfect.

I like 10mm elastic in nappies too, that's what I use in the nappies I make. Hehe I know what you mean Aethalia, I don't like charging people either. When people ask me to make them nappies and ask how much, I just tell them how much it costs for the materials. My step-mum's nephew just asked me to make them 6 nappies (already made 10 for them last year that my dad and stepmum paid me HEAPS for!!) so I told him it would be $80 for all the materials (using minky of course hehe) but that I could get 8 nappies out of that. He asked my least favourite question: "and how much do you charge for your time?" LOL. I said I don't because I enjoy making them, and he said that's slave labour and that they would pay me $180 whether I liked it or not  crazy! Would much rather some chocolate if they felt they had to give me something
Will put up pics of my nappy stash for my baby boy, if everyone else promises to put up pics of all their nappies so I don't feel like such a loser
