Do you buy or make your own fleece liners?  If I was to make some how do I do it?
If I can’t make them (for whatever reason!) are there any mamas here who I could buy from or can you suggest anywhere online that I could buy some?
Many thanks x

I just bought a piece of lovely soft fleece from a fabric shop and cut them out myself. Because they are fleece they don’t need any hemming. The fleece only cost a pound or a couple of pounds and I think I cut about 20 out of it so great value.

I bought a fleece jumper on ebay (size 24-26) for 99p and cut it up into liners myself. They are still going strong and ready for the second baby to use them shortly! You dont need to hem fleece as it doesnt fray. And if you make them yourself you can customise the shape to fit your particular nappy.

I bought a fleece blanket from Ikea - huge- for about a £1! Brilliant. Cut lots of rectangles and then used! dd’s got loads of liners and some for little cloths/wipes, and got most of the blanket left still

Or there’s fleece on a roll at out market/fabric/cheap shops promise you there’s no effort involved at all and as for sizes I didn’t measure, just guessed by the size of the nappy.

Don’t buy fleece liners - they really are dead easy to make yourself! I started cutting them out to the shape of the nappy before grace was born, but now I just cut large rectangles for speed. I have little lamb nappies, but don’t use their liners as I found that they didn’t allow wee through well, so the nappies leaked at ghe sides, and poo tended to stick to the longer fibres! Other people get on great with them though. I just use normal fleece that doesn’t really have sticking out fibres. I use my little lamb liners as washable wipes though, as they are really light, dry really fast, and the poo sticks to them, which is what you wAnt in a wipe!

Brill, my sewing skills do extend to cutting out

I used a cheap fleece blanket to make my first ones. I think it was from poundland. They held up brilliantly for 2 years, but are now rather bobbly and rough, so I bought a meter of pretty fleece (with tractors etc) on it from abakahn.co.uk for about a fiver, then cut some liners out and turned the rest into a fleece blanket for his comfort corner

I just bought a couple of large fleece blankets from charity shops - maybe spent £1 each? - and cut rectangles from them.

I just bought a 60 cm piece of fleece from a fabric shop (was 150cm wide) and cut 10 strips of 15 cm wide and then cut these in half (30cm) they have done the runny breastfred poo and 3years on are now waiting for baby number 2 to be conceived so they can be used again.

ps I also sell them but would recommend making your own as there is nothing that beats the satisfaction of knowing that the fabric next to your baby’s skin was picked and cut by you, and also you can use whatever colour fleece you choose (bonus at they are colourfast so even red fleece wont turn the nappies pink)
