So happy, but yet so sad.

Well finally I am all stocked up on cloths :smiliedance: . I have trialled a few over the last month or so and have purchased 10 greenkids, 2 x babybeehinds with 1 pul cover and 1 wool cover ( as mentioned in an earlier thread, I'm having a babybeehinds party soon so will get a few more) plus a few other different ones I trialled.

So I washed all my new nappies today in hot water as instructed, getting ready to start our journey into full time cloth using,remembering to take out my wool cover, OR SO I THOUGHT :banghead: . It would seem I forgot to take it out and looking at it, it seems to have shrunk :mad: . I am just so disappointed, how could I be so stupid. I guess I will get some wear from it, but not a whole lot.

Sorry, no point to this thread, just needed a vent and I knew you would all understand.

Oh noooooooooo ! :hugs:
Try not to stress hun maybe you will get more wear out of it than your realise !
Remember the next bubba ;)

Can you wet or dampen it again and gently stretch it out?

Ally -Hmm, the next bubba, now that puts a smile on my face. :D By the way, thanks Ally for the naming day info, it certainly came in handy.

Sal -I hadn't thought to stretch it out, I'll give it a go.

I also did the same thing with my Beehinds wool cover:banghead: . Luckily I received the next size up in time. It's a little big but my medium is pretty much a small now...
