Malaysia is well known for it's dozen of lampin/ nappy for their NB.
here are step by step tips from me and inspired by SR of miabambina who insisted that i used my 2 dozens of lampins to good use...and of course some mom out there who needs some guidance on how to fold and sew it...sorry for the delay.... i go bercuti bah....
You can use any brand of lampin available out there but do remember that the thicker your lampin are the longer it takes time to dry. so i choose a bit loose fabric so it will dry faster ...i thought so too...
1. Fold the lampin to half or in a rectangular shape..
2.Take a quarter of the left end or right..(which ever side..i'm a lefty) and bring it to the other quarter centre. assuming that you can visualize into 3 quarters..
3.After folding in the other corner too..the centre of the lampin should be thick as it is use as added absorber...
4. This is how many layers it should have in the centre...6 layers in the centre and 4 layers on each side. Then sew along the borders where the centre meets...or you can sew whichever suits you..

5. ta daaa...sew the completed lampin/ prefold....oh..it took me only 2 hrs to sew 1 1/2 dzn lampin ...with my mom's old singer sewing machine...
this is very useful as an insert for your pocket cd's if you feel the available microfibre inserts too bulky...pros...saves times foldong into triangles, can be folded 2 ways in length , good as burp clothes, stain easily removed
cons...super lambat kering at the centre, will not last more than 2 hours unless you add a booster and paired with pocket cd's.
well....thanks ...i hope i've describe it well ....do correct me for any mistakes made..

thanks for the detail... but I'm still blur lah... you are sewing from 1 single lampin to make it have 6 layers at the center?? *scratch head* How ah..?
wow just what i need! So u use lampin for each prefold right? correct me if i am wrong. u fold them into sort of 2 parts and sew into 3 parts. the centre bit got 6 layers and wings got 4 layers. trying to imagine....
