Cloth wipes



We have just recently started to cloth diaper the little kids. And I was given some cloth wipes along with a bunch of free diapers. We wanted to make some more cloth wipes, so here is what we did.
We used two soft receiving blankets and ironed them and put them right sides together. Then we took our example wipe (measuring about 6 inches by 8 inches) and used that as our guide. Then we cut wipes out just slightly bigger than that size. Cynthia sewed them right sides together, leaving a little place to turn it inside out. Then we turned them inside out and flat ironed them. Last step she went around and sewed a zig zag seam around the outside of the top, closing up the whole as she went along.
Cloth diapering has saved me a bunch of money so far. But so has the wipes. I was going through one huge box of wipes every month. Now we just use these soft cloth wipes. We were able to make 12 cloth wipes out of the two receiving blankets. I would definitely say that cloth diapering and cloth wipes saves money. Especially if you are going to use them over and over again for multiple kids. We recommend fuzzi bunz for diapers.
