Thanks for doing that Natalie original.gif Do you have a blog or somewhere that it can go for future referance as this question comes up often.

Now question for you laughing2.gif what if it has snaps? I have a snap BB that the elastic is shot and dont want to cut through the fleece to replace the elastic blush.gif

When you sew on the internal booster, doesn't the stitching show up on the front of the nappy (through the microfleece) Sorry, if I have missed something laughing2.gif blush.gif I think I may have to fix up the elastic on my AIO's, what an excellent tutorial, thank Nat biggrin.gif

Never mind, I just realised that if you sew the booster on first, the velcro would cover the stitching from the booster blush.gif

The other thing is make sure you use Polyester thread not cotton as cotton is absorbant original.gif

Only way i can think of doing a bbh would be to sew the elastic on to the outside of the elastic over where it is already sewn won't look as pretty but hey they get covered anyway

I have a bbb i need to fix too

From memory they have an overlocked edge. If anyone wants to send one my way for a free repair let me know and I will do a tutorial on that.

Thrice blessed.
Any tips on replacing a ripped flanny inner on a Bubblebubs? It's be VERY well loved and the fabric is just falling away due to so much use blush.gif I'm hopeless at sewing but if I had instructions for MIL .... dev (6).gif I was thinking since it needs the elastic replaced as well I could combine the two laugh.gif
