I tried something different on the bird one: a "hybrid pocket" with water-resistant fleece instead of PUL! It had a woven outer, then pink fleece, then a suedecloth inner. I'll show you some process photos.
Sewing the print together so it's right-side-up on both front and back
finished outer
hidden fleece instead of hidden PUL! (don't mind the random stuff on my desk . . . I've since stopped burning my yuzu incense since it bothers the hubby, even from the other end of the house)
Finished inside
Finished outside
The fleece inside the pocket!
This design didn't work very well. I mean, it sort of worked, but nowhere near as well as hidden PUL (which still wicks if you don't have enough absorbency). It may have been the fleece I used (old baby blanket). I know hybrid FITTEDS can work really well with the right fleece (and more absorbency!).

The crazy animals pocket had a knit outer, hidden PUL, and suedecloth inner. I seamed the outer print so both sides were up on this one, too!
