500 GSM Bamboo/Organic Cotton Super Heavyweight Nappie Fabric

http://www.diapersewingsupplies.com/bamboo-super-heavy-fleece-fabric/

This is probably the best fabric for nappies, with 70% bamboo and 30% organic cotton, at 500 GSM weight for extra absorbancy. It can be passed down for an entire generation to other babies, for an enduring, heirloom nappie design. Wouldn't that be nice, to have that as part of any new baby layette, monogrammed with your parent's initials?  Like a cheaper version of having a chest filled with vintage, heirloom quilts?

Make sure it organically dyed. You can actually make your own organic vegetable, herb dyes in the kitchen too.  Whole Foods organic hair dye kits could work for adjusting the fabric colors also.  Those can actually be used for batik dyeing nappies, with hand-painted, melted beeswax to "monogram" or print personalized messages onto the fabric. It could look beautiful with Hmong quilt and wall hanging designs too. That would require intricate "storytelling" embroidery though.
