Read our Articles | Second hand nappy wraps |
|
As I have embraced poverty wholeheartedly as an alternative to working full time, I am keen to save money wherever possible. Also, any white garments that enter my house are sacrificial and become grubby shades of grey as soon as I look at them. So I needed cheap colourful nappy wraps, as soon as possible. I turned to the internet for help and discovered a whole world of people with wrap fixation, just like me. It seems that America, who I always thought to be a disposable culture, is actually packed with stay at home mums who not only make their own wraps but also sell them and sometimes even publish the patterns on the internet. And there is a small movement (unintentional joke, sorry) of Brits who make their own and are willing to talk about it. The only difficulty lies in getting the right fabric and learning how to sew whilst holding a small wriggly boy under one arm. Second-hand seemed the way to go. Internet auctions can be pretty fruitful and they can be good fun, but slightly dangerous if you are the type to get carried away. I am waiting for a delivery of 6 pro-wraps that cost me £20 so I saved a fair bit of money there. There are also notice boards devoted to the buying and selling of real nappies. Of course there is a risk that you don’t get exactly what you want, but sometimes there are photos and if you know the brand, you will know exactly what you get. I have enjoyed my little spending spree on the net, and I am looking forward to selling the wraps on when Small gets larger. www.ebay.co.uk – Large auction site, look under baby items for nappies and nappy wraps. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nappysewers/ - This UK group exchanges ideas and tips on sewing your own nappies. http://www.ukparents.co.uk/ - Look under ‘Our Forums’ for ‘Buy & Sell – Nappies’. http://diapershop.com/freelinks.htm – Links to free nappy and wrap patterns.
