Selingan........ My First Cloth Diaper!








You must be wondering whether you are in the wrong blog.. why suddenly a cloth diaper in a recipe blog? Hahahahaha... sorry about that.
I have been wanting to sew my own fitted cloth diaper for my daughter ... so finally I did it! The pictures above show my first cloth diaper, measured, cut and sewn all by myself.
What do you think of it? Not so nice.. but I think I will get better after a few cloth diapers... I think (hehehehehe...). The top picture is my almost 1 year old daughter wearing the cloth diaper mommy has sewn.
The materials.. I just bought a meter of cotton fabric with Winnie the Pooh print ( so difficult to find good fabric with cartoon pictures in Kota Kinabalu, anybody know where to find them? Please let me know.... I tried Segama and Sinsuran... the only fabric I found is the RM2.50 per meter thin cotton fabric. Maybe I should wait for the KAMDAR and Globe Silk Store in 1Borneo to open ;-) ). The inner layer, I use soft fleece cloth and sewn 6 layers of an old napkin cloth diaper as the soaker.
My big dream..... is to make my own cloth diaper and put my own brand on it and make money out of it ;-).
In the meantime... any parents interested to buy cheaper cloth diapers please check out this website http://cutietots.littlecrackers.com/ . Lets reduce the use of disposable diapers and save cost and the environment. Hehehehehe

  6. kdmama.. ada byk jenis CD, ada yg waterproof ada yg tidak, meaning mo pakai diaper cover lagi. Yg membezakan waterproof atau tidak material dia ja.. tukar material jadi inda basahlah hehehe.. mind, of course ble basahlah, coz guna cotton ja on the outer layer, klu sia mo kasi waterproof I can add a layer of waterproof layer or I can use the material yg PUL (yg mo import baru ble dpt isk isk) and make it waterproof. But for at home uses, I prefer the non-waterproof, sebab more breathable and ble tukar selalu.
