Anyone make your own inserts?

I'm planning on using flip covers and thinking about making some inserts myself. Any suggestions, videos, or sites that you recommend?

Someone had a challenge post on this board ages ago with great directions. I made some - I bought a metre of bamboo fleece and just made a bunch. I think I got about 8 tri-fold two layer inserts for $16.

@babymama619 (just to make sure you see this!)

I've made three layer heavy bamboo fleece inserts to replace micro fiber.

It's pretty easy.

You can also make a flat and fold it. This decreases your drying time.

I have made, well modified ones my mom made, some out of old flannel sheets.

Yep! Here's some mini ones I made for my NB diapers.

Anyone have the dimensions for the flip organic insert? I'd like to duplicate those!

If you have a serger they are super easy to make. You could also zigzag stitch around the edge if you don't.

@yellowlily2013. I bought some used flip covers and the dimensions (after they've been washed repeatedly by previous owner) are

15 and 3/8 by 5 and 3/8.
This includes the 1/4 or so of serving around the edge. I'll just be zig zagging mine. Starting today :-)

I also have some organic nighttime ones I can measure for you if you'd like. They're like giant squares.

@babymama619 yes please! The dimension you have listed is for the stay dry isn't it. The daytime organic is square-like as well I thought.

@tokenhoser...thank you so much for that thread link! And @into+the+kitty, I'm sure everyone is so glad you're back! The thread of your homemade inserts is ah.maz.ing! It has inspired me to get some fabric and fire up the sewing machine. ETA to fixing @ing
