I am so pissed at myself. I ordered a couple of VGUC Thirsties covers off FSOT at diaperswappers. They arrived yesterday. I cut open the package from the extreme edge. I clipped about 1/8 inch from the end, but ended up clipping a 2 inch long fragment from one of the coversIt's about 1/4 inch wide at center, and comes to a point at each end. I put the fragment back and taped over it with packing tape, but I don't think I can put it through the wash like that. Or can I? Anyone have any experience with patching up a PUL cover? Is there a very thin iron-on patch I can put at least on the outside?
