Bulk Organic Bamboo Double-Sided Terry Cloth Fabric

Perfect for making reusable, all-in-one, organic baby nappies.  Combine 5 layers of the double-sided bamboo terry cloth together for the absorbant layer, depending upon the GSM/weight of it. Pre-wash, pre-shrink and iron all fabrics, except the PUL layer, before sewing.

Other items needed for this: PUL waterproofing fabric, organic pastel pink and pastel blue fabric dyes, large, sharp fabric shears, sewing pins, a steam iron, elastic thread, all-in-one nappie sewing patterns for preemie to 4 year old sizes, with umbilical cord cut-outs for preemie and newborns, an electronic sewing machine that has enough room for fitting five layers of thick terry and PUL fabric together, one ideal for quilting, adjustable metal snaps and velcro closures.

It would make a great gift for a poor family, especially if you monogram the baby's first name, in pastel pink or pastel blue, depending upon gender, with organically dyed quilting thread also.  If you can't find organically dyed quilting thread, go with undyed, organic quilting thread.

If you can't sew, hire a seamstress with a monogramming machine to make this.

This fabric would also be good for serging on a serging machine into 12 matching baby washcloths, and 12 bath towels for baby. Serging machines cost $500, or more. Every church, synagogue, temple and mosque needs one donated to their arts and crafts centers for making baby nappies and layette items. Just use a regular bath towel and washcloth for the sewing patterns. Using pastel pink or pastel blue thread for the edging would give it a little color, since it's undyed. Monogramming the baby's initials onto it, in matching pastel-colored thread is always great, for a new baby gift.
