I was amazed to read some of the ways to recycle these items. The diaper bag from placemats has really caught my attention. Diaper bags can be quite expensive and the ones from my first child aren’t in good enough shape to continue to the one on the way. I really appreciate your information here!!
I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don’t know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

I have to disagree with the last comment. I use a layer of shower curtain in between the other layers of material for my all in one cloth diapers and it works wonderful. The shower curtain never touches my daughter’s skin because it is in the middle. All of my diapers have held up fine now and my daughter is 6 months old.
I have to say that when people talk about shower curtains, I think of the woven nylon kind, not the plastic kind. The nylon curtains are more like the kind of nylon used in windbreakers and raincoats and it’s pretty breathable! And PUL is laminated with polyurethane, which is still a non-breathable plastic even if it isn’t as potentially toxic as vinyl.
