A few months ago I noticed that all of the diapers were wearing thin. Some even had holes in them. “No worries,” I thought, “Gideon will be trained before these were out.”
Ha! I was sooooo wrong!
Down to a half dozen diapers without too many holes, I broke down and made some new ones. In the past I have made fitted ones, but they take about an hour each, and I didn’t find that they held up any better than the flat-fold ones I had purchased. These went together in 20 minutes, and would be much faster with a surger.
These are made from some 100% cotton birds eye cloth I purchased a while ago. It was 36″ wide, and I used a polyester/cotton batting down the center for extra absorbency and quick drying time.
[...] the first set of diapers turned out satisfactory, I dug through my stash to locate as much suitable fabric as possible. [...]
