The oils in your hair will give it enough lubrication to slide easily. I find that's easier than a bar of soap....the soap is always WAAAAY over there somewhere. :-D
I remember that time from when I watched my mother sew! Had forgotten about it. And it wasn't 100 yrs ago for cloth diapers - both my kids were in cloth diapers. Only used the disposable ones when we took long trips.
