Ever since I blogged about not having an addition to the family, I can't believe that it took me this long to take out all my son's old cloth nappies and make them into something else! I decided that they would become:
a) hand towels for the bathroom (I folded them in half and went crazy with the sewing machine. See pic above)
b) cleaning cloths for the kitchen
c) rags (the really yellow looking ones!)
I also "discovered" my bra pads from breast feeding days. I couldn't find any takers for them, but I then realised that they make really good makeup removers!!! They're soft, made out of cotton, durable and all you have to do is pop them in the wash after each use, or like me, just hand wash them with Dr. Bronner's!! No more cotton pads for me :-)
Old cloth nappies make great cloths. Would you believe my mum is still using my old ones, nearly 40 years on!!! Now they must have been good quality cloth nappies!!
