I made 24 of these while I was pregnant. I used flannel too but I don't mind using pins to hold it shut. And it does fit newborns. I used them for my little guy when he was brand new and we still use them now 5 months later. I don't have elastic in the back of mine but my guy isn't a big pooper. hehheee

You totally can snappi on flannel once it has been washed a few times, at least I do with my flannel with great success. When the flannel is new, it doesn't take it well, but once it gets a bit pilly it takes it well, the more you use the better it will take it. I haven't really had a problem with holes forming, though possibly this could be a problem over a long period of time, but pins would cause the same problem.
That nappy looks so great...its so neat and professional looking. Im just learning how to sew, but once you put that tutorial im definately going to give it a go!
@newmum2010 Great, then I will have to do it very soon. I am afraid I will wake the girls if I do it when they are sleeping but I will try to make it as soon as i can. This is the first thing I started sewing when i began 2.5 years ago.
No, only because it wouldn't fit as wide a range of sizes, i have unsuccessfully tried it with snaps before, but i would definitely make it with snapi'able fabric and elastic on the back. Oh but now that i think of it, it may work fine with velcro, I may just have to give it a go.
Can you add snaps and PUL to this pattern?

Do you think home made nappies work just as well as bought ones?

@newmum2010 Yes, I mean I do like my bought ones too but I sometimes have found my one leak less!

@SewingClothDiapers Have done a few with velcro but it seems to fit better with the pins. You can get a better fit.
