For cloth wipes, I make my own, and I am not a good sewer.

I bought some diaper flannel and just double layered it cut the size I wanted, and doubled it.

I did a single stitch around (with a machine), leaving a small hole so I could turn it inside out, and then stitched the edge again.

I bought three yards of diaper fabric, and have plenty of wipes.

Mine would fit in a standard disposable wipes container.

I have also used old receiving blankets to make wipes.

Thanks to Kellie for this Frugal Baby Tip!
