i want to make some AIO's but i dont know if i should use maiden mills fleece or PUL the outer would be an old pair of jeans with the pocket part on the bum so they have a denim look :D i was thinking of having bamboo on the inner so they can be nice and fancy:laughing: any ideas?

No help Jess, but havent seen you around in AGES!!

hey jess! If denim is the outer i would just have a hidden layer of PUL:thumbsup:

What zada said! You will have major potential for wicking problems though with denim.... I've seen some people suggest binding the inner seam (between the PUL and outer) with fleece. I haven't tried it, but would highly recommend you do something of the kind. Maybe you could even bind with PUL - that should work :)

Go with the PUL, Denim's pretty thick, so if you used fleece it would probably be a bit bulky. And you may have wicking issues, but really only if you leave it on to long, if you change when wet, you shouldn't have any issues :) Can't wait to see a pic

No idea but what an awesome idea!!! Might have to try it myself :D

So are you ladies saying that even with a hidden layer of PUL, the denim outer will probably still get dampish?

:idea: Just a suggestion here, but I was thinking you could make the nappy outer from PUL and then sew the pocket of the jeans on the butt of the nappy for a cute effect:yes:

I just know that I made my first pockets with a hidden layer of PUL and an outer of cotton and they wick pretty badly - that's why I don't make them that way anymore. I still put them on my DD until she TTed but they would get wet on the outside much quicker than the other nappies - my DH jokes that on those nappies the outer is better at soaking up wee than the hemp inside :rolleyes: :p

I think if you bound the inside seam with PUL scraps it would be ok though - maybe I should do that with those nappies and see how it goes. :)
