Well done on joining WW's Peachy! I've lost weight successfully with their No Points plan after both of my pregnancies. I'm sure you'll do great

I used the wee weka pattern for S/M pocket. It is a bit on the small side even though the pattern looks humungus!]]> Mon, 25 Feb 2008 15:42:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14742&PID=311127&title=to-add-gussetts-or-not#311127 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14742&PID=311029&title=to-add-gussetts-or-not#311029 Author: Maya

Go Peachy!

We have some homemade (not by me!) pockets with gussets, they were good when the girls were fully b/f and having huge explosions but now they're no better/worse than any of the others they have. Manda who sewed them did say that the FOE on the gussets was a monkey to sew.]]> Mon, 25 Feb 2008 14:21:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14742&PID=311029&title=to-add-gussetts-or-not#311029 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14742&PID=310609&title=to-add-gussetts-or-not#310609 Author: peachy

I just made my first nappy!!! I used the wee weka pattern and followed the first set of instructions (when she makes the orange nappy) and this is the result





I am so chuffed with my nappy!!! Ok, I did break the needle at the end and havent quite sewn all thr way round the last velcro tab! but hey! not bad for a really crap sewer!

Peachy, as an indication I used the S/M size and thought it would be huge but made it anyway...I possibly did too big a seam allowance (1cmish) and the result is a perfect fitting nappy that is really trim.....ok that limits us on inserts.

I currently have an ecobubs trifold in there.

O.k excuse my ignorance but what is roll out fleece? I am new to this cloth nappy stuff so don't know the terminology yet!

I will pop onto Staceys website and see if I can what you guys mean by "roll out fleece"!!]]> Sun, 24 Feb 2008 14:33:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14742&PID=310218&title=to-add-gussetts-or-not#310218 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14742&PID=310212&title=to-add-gussetts-or-not#310212 Author: kiwivic

Leo had always worn nappies with gussets because I'd believed they were better (only going on the sale blurb of the nappies I owned!) - but I recently bought a Foxybots which has the rolled out fleece and I love it. I only use it as a night nappy but it works better than any of my other nappies with gussets - I think because overnight the extra wee may wick out the stitching of the gussets? Also, not having a gusset means there's more width in the pocket so I find it much easier to stuff. He's not pooed in his Foxybots though so I can't comment on how well it would hold in, but I'm guessing it would be fine. I personally like the look of rolled out fleece too, it just looks more comfy.

I think they are just extra work. I don't like them much anyway. They have a tendancy to gape away from the legs a bit and leave red marks on Daniels thighs.. we love roll out fleece and I think they hold explosions better.]]> Sun, 24 Feb 2008 13:35:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14742&PID=310189&title=to-add-gussetts-or-not#310189 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14742&PID=310172&title=to-add-gussetts-or-not#310172 Author: peachy

I received the fabric from Greenbeans and I have been studying TNN website. I see they have the option of gussetts to help reduce explosions.

Are gussetts necessary/helpful or are they just extra work when making the nappy?

Man I can't wait to get making these nappies and give them a go on Lauren, how sad am I? Nappies never used to excite me at all!]]> Sun, 24 Feb 2008 13:20:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14742&PID=310172&title=to-add-gussetts-or-not#310172
