Which fabrics to use together?

Hi,

I finally received my velour and baby french terry, and I am excited to start on this road

My question is, do I need to put stretchy fabrics on the inner and outer. Can I mix a woven fabric on one side with a stretchy on the other? I thought of putting flannel on the outer and velour or terry on the inner, will this work. I have sewing experience, but not with making cloth diapers.

Thanks so much!

In Christ, Bridget

In general, it is best to keep knits with knits, and wovens with wovens, but it's not a hard-and-fast rule. Your best bet would be to make a single test diaper with the fabrics you are considering, to see if it will work for you.
