DIY Diaper

I used the link from my previous post to give me a guide on how I would go about making a cloth diaper.

Mine will not be the exact same, because I am making one for my "Baby Think It Over",  but it is the same concept or idea.

  • First I took the diaper they already have and traced around it to get a shape that I could use For my pattern when cutting out my cloth.
  • Then I cut out what I traced.  
  • Then I got fabric that matched.  My mom had scraps from blankets she had made so I didn't have to go buy any.  You don't need two different colors I just wanted one on the inside and one on the outside.
  • Lay out your fabric and trace it and cut out your pattern or you can pin it on and cut it that way too.

 I just pinned down my pattern then cut around it on the heart pattern and a plain pink that I had.

 .
  • These are the two that I will be putting together.  Now when you pin them together, have them inside out.  When you sew them, leave a little hole somewhere where you can turn them back out.  It will make it look a lot better!

  • <---Here I sewed them together with the pattern facing each other.  Then where the little hole was, you turn it back out where you can see the pattern.  Then sew that hole up.

  •  This is what they look like turned inside out.  I made two as you can see.  The final step would be to put Velcro on all the tabs of the diaper so you can fasten them  together.
