Homemade cover ?

[mom2_AthruZ]

I am thinking of ordering some pul to make some covers and I wanted to use some corduroy as an outerlayer for the cover. For those who make their own covers do you think there would be a breathability issue? Would using a 100% cotton fabric as an outerlayer be a better choice? The cord. I have is sooo pretty :)and would make such a pretty cover but if it isn't a good choice I will find another use for it. ;)

TIA :mrgreen

I don't think it would matter since PUL doesn't breath much (if at all) anyway. I'm sure they will be beautiful with your courderoy.

I've seen pictures of corduroy covers before and I'm sure it'll be lovely. Are you sure of the cotton content? Most cord that I've seen has been 100% cotton anyhow. Although, like Lotsomama said it won't really matter much because PUL is generally not breathable anyway. I've got a piece of printed cord that I've been contemplating making into a fitted dipe, but I'm going to wait till you report back on how it works for a cover. Maybe I'll use it as the outer for an AIO...
