I decided to make these extremely inexpensive and easy wipes after my husband complained about me throwing store bought wipes into the washer with the diapers--oops!
These will save us an amazing amount of money. Apparently I use too many wipes per diaper change (according to the husby), so this was a necessity. I usually only use one wipe per chance where I used to use 3-4 disposable wipes. It also has the added bonus of being able to dry my sweet ones tush after its clean-- also a bonus for the anti- diaper rash movement.
I used old baby blankets (and I mean OLD... They were mine as a child), but you could just get a yard of cotton flannel or cotton jersey (more or less depending on how many you want to make!)
Cut fabric in 6" squares.
Zig zag stich all the way around the square. If you have a serger, serge it, but a zig zag will do the trick.
If you want to make it a mock serge stitch, make sure your needle goes just to the right of the fabric so one stitch is on the fabric and the other is off. I didn't do this.. I just stitched 1/8- 1/4 inch in from the edge... Mostly because it is a lot easier and I was trying to do this fast!
