Where are all the mamas who do co-ops!??!?! As I am treading dangerously close to my third trimester, I NEED FABRIC!! (for diapers, blankets, clothes, etc etc etc..)

Also, I am thinking of purchasing the Cuddlebuns diaper pattern for home use... anyone have any feedback for me? I've never used a CB diaper, so is it really that great?

Thanks mamas!

What types of fabric are you looking for? I have several bolts of fabric that I would be willing to sell some of. I have quilter's quality flannel, kind of varigated in blue, gold, pink, and green. I also have several quilter's quality cotton prints, all girly though.

I'm mostly looking for 100% cotton or hemp/cotton knits. I have enough flannel and cotton prints to choke someone!

How well does the cotton/poly sherpa work in diapers? I have a dog's nose, so it seems I can sniff out the polyester in diapers... if you know what I mean! Poly. seems to hold the urine smell of older babes. (I wash every other day, and don't let them pee in diapers until soaked.... just something I've noticed.)

Thanks for the help, mamas!

Well here's a good place to get hemp fabrics - http://www.wildnwoolygoods.com/store/index.asp I have seen coops with similar prices - one ended up cancelling theirs cause her prices are so good.

And I got my wool for covers at fabric.com for very cheap (although I think it was on closeout). http://store.yahoo.com/phoenixtextil...ol-jersey.html note that I've had both the red and the eggplant and the eggplant seemed softer than the red.

HTH

I have the cuddlebuns pattern but haven't actually used them. I would think those would be too big for a newborn since it's one size.

Sherrie has great knits, and I'm using her sherpa in the soaker. Kinda new to this so don't have much experience, but it seems to work fine. Oh and she has FOE for very cheap (good for binding covers if you don't have a serger).
