I'm going to have a go at making some fleece/ liners for my new C &C construction. I have fleece and wadding so was considering 2 layers of wadding sandwiched between fleece layers, but I thought I'd ask first as I see other people have made their own. Is this a good combination or should I be considering using towels as a layer? Money's a bit limited so materials need to be relatively cheap and easy to get hold of. I have a washing machine but have to dry everything on airers so don't want anything too heavy.
My C & C is 4 x 2 with an extra 2 x 1 added to make an L shape. I think this will be too big to make in one piece and still fit in the machine so will probably make a 2 x 2 and a 3 x 2 which will fit next to each other in the space.
Any tips suggestions gratefully accepted.
Thanks.
 
i use two bath towels from asda (smart price) only about £1.30 then a cheap fleece from B&M bargains it is big enough for a 2x3 when folded double. None of them are sewed or anything as they shrink in the wash so it is better to just put them in separetely. You can also get cheap fleeces from home bargains or asda / tesco!
 
Yes, this is what I'm doing at the moment- towels and fleece. I'm mainly thinking about making something to fit because of the problem I have leaning over to fold/ peg everything (bad back). I could just cut/ hem the towels/ fleece to the right size.
Any other suggestions as to what people use?
 
I use inco pads and they work wonderfully.

I'm sure that you can sew them to the fleece and i think they are more absorbent than wadding or are you going to use towels as well?

Can't afford inco pads at the moment. I think I'll probably make some small pieces with wadding or towel and then try them in the most used areas to see what works best before I make a full sized version.
 
Sounds like a good plan.

The inco pads do seems expensive first off but they will last for ages and they do keep the fleece nice and dry. :)

I got mine off Amazon and the postage was the same no matter how many you bought.
