Do you make yours with snaps? And if so, what tool do you use to set the snaps? I am considering getting one of the heavy-duty setting toold (like We R memory for its long reach) Just curious what method you use.

 Thanks!

Also- what material do you use?

This. Except for snaps, I got some direct from KAM, but I'm also part of a co-op that gets snaps at bulk rates (10% discount) and with cheaper shipping. I'm not sure if it's OK to post co-ops here? Well, here is the link: https://groups.yahoo.com/group/HobbyCakesCloth/. Someone tell me please if it's against the rules

For fabric, lots of options...

- Waterproof/water resistant exterior for pockets/covers: PUL (Joann's, Hancock Fabrics, or online), fleece (same -- may need to use two layers of the cheaper fleece that you buy in stores), wool (thrift store sweaters -- only for use in covers, not pockets)

- Stay dry interiors for pockets or fitteds: Alova suedecloth (Joann's), butter suedecloth (Hancock Fabrics), microfleece (online)

- Absorbent layers for pocket inserts or fitteds or prefolds: anything cotton! I've used store-bought flannel, old sheets, old t-shirts, old receiving blankets, you name it. You can also buy fancier materials like bamboo or hemp online.
