Tonitex Microfleece is 60" wide; 100% polyester.
Order in inches instead of yards - you may not be used to ordering this way but it's pretty simple and ends up with a lot less wasted fabric on your part! Instead of ordering yards, you just enter the number of inches that you need. If you want a full yard, just enter 36 into the quantity box. Isn't that easy?
Diapers: To determine how many inches you need measure the length and width of your diaper pattern. For example - if your pattern is for a small it is probably around 16" wide and long. Tonitex Microfleece is 60" wide so a 16" cut will give you at least 3.75 diapers (60"/16"). Add a few more inches & you can stagger the diapers, as in the picture below, which will use the fabric even more efficiently. With my pattern I can get at least 5 smalls from 20" of a 60" wide fabric.
1/8 yd = 5" | 2/3 yd = 24" |
1/4 yd = 9" | 3/4 yd = 27" |
1/3 yd = 12" | 1 yd = 36" |
1/2 yd = 18" | 2 yd = 72" |
Microfleece does not unravel or fray so its edges do not need to be finished. To make your own stay-dry liners simply cut the shape you need and voila!
Care Instructions: Microfleece does not shrink so pre-washing is not necessary. Items made with microfleece may be washed and dried on hot. Rash creams may cause staining, so if you care about that sort of thing use a microfleece liner when using rash creams.
Microfleece is a wicking fabric. That means it pulls moisture away from baby for a stay-dry feeling. A dry baby means fewer rashes & a more comfortable night's sleep. 100% polyester fabric & very soft to the touch. Great as an inner layer for Pocket diapers, AIOs or even fitteds. Also fabulous for stay-dry liners, baby blankets, clothing & more.
