let me get this right...converted prefold isn't really prefold rite? Converted prefold are more like lampin bewing sewn into semi fitted? That's what i wanna do, turn my lampin into some kind of fitted....
Li, is the converted like, just adding the tabs? or is it one piece with the tab?
Doesn't look like its too difficult to make rite???? hehheheh

If u intend to convert your prefolds to fitted, here's a simple and basic pictorial guideline which u can refer to...I can't sew so I had to send my prefolds to a seamstress...but its not done yet...I am waiting for some lovely craft fabrics to arrive...

No, I meant the original post, sorry for the confusion


Thanks, Li. These look nice. I have some prefitted that I bought in the US which I'm saving for my next baby. No spending money right now, but I might add these to my collection if they are still available when I do have spending money!

I've tried making some prefolds out of lampin and they are okay, but they don't last as long as real indian or chinese prefolds do! Lampin don't absorb as much. And two of them shredded to bits, I don't know why, but they were kind of old lampin to begin with anyway.

Look barely used, they are stretchy flannel and 100% cotton. Cotton is faded, but no stains at all.

These are simple to use, simply put baby in, pull front of diaper up, pull tabs around the side to the front and attach with pins or snappi.

I bought these diapers used from the U.S. - I have not washed it, but it came washed from the original owner.


Pink with flowers and bunny pattern is sold


is this still available?
