• Fleece is good against the skin and also if you are using an old tshirts or anything like that as fabric that can go against the skin.  Flannel is ok too but I am told it keeps baby feeling wet.

  For the middle/soaker layer I use Microfiber auto towels, but you could also just use layers of flannel or old tshirts.  Just cut your shape and sew a bunch of them together in a stack (zigzag or serging the edges)

  For my outside layers I use fleece. It works pretty well.  Its not completely waterproof, but it works and I buy if for $4.44/yd.  The only time I have a problem with it is if baby is sitting in one spot for awhile then the wetness will eventually push through.

  hope this helps.  They are quick responses but I have to head off to change a diaper now. Good Luck!

• I did some shopping around and the best price I found for PUL was verybaby.com. For the inside 'soaker' matieral you could use an old towel you dont use anymore. Good luck!

• I think you and Delilah should venture up to our house. =)    We can have a sewing day and I can show all the different materials I have, 1st hand.  (Like the coercion?  lol)

  I get most of my fabrics from Denver Fabrics (it's right off Belleview between Federal and Santa Fe).  Their PUL is a little pricier than ordering online but you get instant gratification and save on shipping. =)

• I make AIOs and the PUL I use I find on sale from companies going out of business or moms trying to destash. I use a cotton flannel for the part touching baby's skin, and microfiber for the soaker layer, but you can use old towels also. The flannel I like because it is soft, not too hot, and while it doesn't wick the moisture away from baby's bottom as well, it's super absorbent so it goes into the microfiber very quickly... besides the fact that for newborns and infants we believe in changing diapers every time they pee (or close to it) instead of letting them sit (which is possible in some cloth and most disposable diapers since there is no moisture against their bodies). Hope that helps a bit!

• I really like using micorfiber for the inside layer. It's light weight, absorbant and dries fast. Some people say it causes stinkies, but I haven't had that issue yet.
