I always dive deep into the cloth communities. It's where I get the inspiration for most of my videos!

Loved this video!!! Can’t get enough videos about flats!

How have I not seen this video before, wow the timing of it showing up in my feed is perfect. I'm so going to join the group

This is the most helpful video on the internet!! Thanks so much!

Thank you for sharing. Definitely a great idea for adding to my stash.

How stinking cute is Willow?! Seriously. 😍😍

Can't wait to try this out ❤️

This is so awesome! Always look forward to your videos. Ps love your music selection!

I love your channel. You are real and have problems just all of us. Thanks for sharing you thoughts and all the cloth diaper recommendations. I have been watching all of your videos during this time of quarantine. I have learned a lot an d I have switched to flats😀

This was really informative, thanks!

She looks exactly like you💞💞 so cute!😁

loved this vid! I'm pregnant with my first and exploring cloth diapers - i liked that you just went for it with the child safe scissors it made me feel better about not always having everything super perfect - if it works that's good enough. Also your baby is really cute!!!!!

Thank you for making this

I haven't seen a video about this yet and with the sale on stretchy flats at Kinderel I thought this would be a great time to make this :) Hope it's helpful!

You are very creative thank you for this helpful video saving those coinz

That baby is soooooo cute!

Here from TikTok! All the way in Australia ❤️

Mostly searched video thank you

Thank you!!

You make putting these on so easy 👐 I have been adventuring into stretchy flats and preflats and I struggle getting them on nice and snug on a wiggley baby 🤦‍♀️

I love you so much, Jacqueline! On your recommendation, I went ahead and purchased 4 yards of this Bamboo Stretch French Terry Fabric, and the flats I cut out from it are: Eight 28x28, One 30x30 and One 25x25! :D:D:D I'm sooo pleased! Just got done putting the first flat on baby, never been this excited for him to pee or poo hehe

I just ordered 4 yards cause still on sale! I seriously need to get off the internet. Lol

Thank you for making this video! I've tried looking for a video like this months ago! Could only find one blog post with pictures :/ I am in Flat Cloth Diaper Love and have been wanting to make DIY stretchy flats but I've been scared. I am not good at cutting. I want square flats, but I'm afraid I'd end up cutting a rhombus.

@JaysNest

5 жыл бұрын

I was certain that these would be rhombus shaped but they're all surprisingly more square than I thought would be possible, especially with the technique I used. Rotary scissors will help a lot! Also using the edge of a cardboard box makes for some straight lines, at least from what I've seen.

Loved the video !! Hope to make them soon!! Do you have any specific washing routines for them?? Do you use any liners?? Thanks in advanced and keep it up!!!

@JaysNest

5 жыл бұрын

I just wash them like my other diapers ❤️ I don’t use liners. I used to! My 4 year old used to be so sensitive to wetness. I’ll use them occasionally but I rarely reach for them anymore

Hey momma, I want to purchase some stretchy bamboo and bamboo/hemp fleece material but I was curious if it’s good to use as just flats (inserts).

I really want to order fabric, but the prices aren't great right now... the 2 I'm interested in are $13.95/yd and $21.45/yd.... ugh. Plus shipping.

Is it bad that I want to switch my whole stash to stretchy flats?! They are just so soft and stretchy! Thanks for the shout out! I love my Bandie!

Omg your baby is sooo cute!!!💜 and this video is awesome, just what I was looking for👍 I have to make some DIY 4 way stretchy flat's .

I think I'm going to have to make my own flats. This is helpful :) My baby was born 11 pounds and is now 27 lbs at 4 months old.. No flats I have bought have been big enough and he still got a lot of growing to do. Maybe 35 × 35? Haha this baby is making me have to go through so much trial and error.

@JaysNest

5 жыл бұрын

I’ve never tried a flat bigger than 30. Lol 30 was big enough for my 35lb toddler. And while your baby might be big now he will slim down as he starts to crawl. I wish I could give you more advice on sizing. You could always cut one that is 35x35 and see if you like it. If not, you could always cut it down smaller! You can’t add length to your flats once they’re cut but you can always cut them smaller ❤️

Jay's Nest that's so smart haha. Yeah I'm Getting used to trying things out now. So I'll make a few big ones and slim it down if necessary. Thank you :)

Has anyone tried this on baby in hot weather? Does it seem to burn them up because of the material or is it still pretty airy? I live in 80 degree+ weather almost all year.

Hi Jay thank you for the video. I see in this video your baby is using these as if you would put a cover on them. I’m going to be using pockets , are these good with absorbency ? Also , would you keep the sizing the same for pockets ?

@JaysNest

4 жыл бұрын

I use these with pockets mainly and I enjoy them. 30x30 is a bit big for my pockets imo. I’d probably prefer a 27x27 or 28x28 for just stuffing pockets with. I really enjoy the absorbency of these!
