Reusable Wipes

In butt news I am thinking we might try to go the reusable wipes route. We have already decided to use reusable diapers,

For many reasons 1.both Stephen and I have some skin allergies and I figure better safe than rashy 2. Because it saves a ton of money. We have 11 newborn sized diapers and 4 one size fits all diapers in our stash so far and have only spent 70 dollars. Although we do have more to get I have read that you can spend about 400 on your diaper stash for cloth diaper and over 2000 dollars on disposable diapers birth to potty training. That's only for one kid, the savings just go up if you reuse the cloth diapers with subsequent children.  And last but not least I think that cloth diapers are super cute. All that being said I figure I will be doing laundry anyway so maybe reusable wipes wouldn't be so bad. So I made a few, I followed the tutorial  found here and came up with these little beauties :

I totally love them. I think they are really cute and hopefully they are practical. the best part... they were so easy to make. Essentially all you have to do is cut out the size of wipe that you want out of your 2 fabrics, place them front to front and sew around the edges leaving a 2-3' gap, flip them right side out and sew around the edge on the top to keep the 2 sides together. I purchased 1/4 yard of each fabric (its flannel) and I got 5 wipes of each kind. I made a few different sizes to see what I liked the best. I got a total of 10 wipes (5 in each pattern) from my cloth. We will see if I like them when little Scarlett comes out. I will keep you updated.
