Fleece DIY question

MrsPteranodon

I was unpacking some boxes in the garage from our move (OMG I'm so tired of boxes!!!) I found a box of fabric from some project. I have like.......5 yards of fleece. I think I bought it to make the kids sweat pants (WTF was I thinking? I can barely make pillowcases!) 

I came across a DIY project for making fleece gDiaper inserts. Can I just use any kind of fleece? I have flannel too. Its really thick

I know micro fleece works a a stay-dry layer and I just make fleece covers but they're waterproof-ish.

I'm guessing it has to be like hemp fleece or bamboo fleece?

Polyester is not absorbent, so no. Although pants are super easy to make, they are a great beginner project.

That answers that.

I tried making Buddy pants, Woah I don't know what I did (I even followed a pattern) and they were crazy small, and awkward shaped.

If I were you, I would not use a pattern but instead base your cuts off of a pair of pants that already fits your kid.

I don't use patterns, I just kind of make things up as I go along.
