Making our Newborn Diaper stash - Episode 1

This is the start of my hybrid diaper pattern for our little one on the way. I am starting out by making some for my daughter and making sure it is functional! If you have any questions or specific things you would like me to cover about making diapers please let me know and I will try to make a video for you on how I do it :)

I am not a professional seamstress by any means but i have been sewing since i was a little girl so i have a little bit of experience :)

Oh I learned that if you make little velcro squares just for laundry then you never have velcro issues. I have started doing it and my velcro stopped curling and no lint in them now. It was better than just using the laundry tabs that I had on the diapers :) thought it might help since you are using velcro too! :) I stole the idea from another lady on here without video explaining how to do it.

@Mshomeschoolsupermom awesome idea! Thanks so much!! I am for sure gonna be doing this

[iamprofessorchaos]

is your pattern available online? :)

[maelismomma]

@iamprofessorchaos Im sorry, but its not. I made this pattern up just for the use of it to make diapers for my daughter. But there are lots of good patterns out there and there are also a lot of forums that have great ladies that can help you draft your own :)

why dont you use minkee? it makes them like a stay dry with the fleece over the pul inside. you will get wicking to the cotton via the holes in the sewing line. and you get a wet bot on outside.

@sewsweet08 I do love Minkee! But I actually have no leaking or wicking with these covers. I serge them and they come out great! We have had no problems at all :)

What do you use for around the edges of the diaper?

[rachaelgreenful]

I love your diapers!!! Is there any way I can buy one as a sample from you?????

[CFAMILY11]

how do you get the fold over elastic to sew right?? i cant seam too

[Mshomeschoolsupermom]

Now can you just purchase white PUL and then sew any cotton fabric to the outside for design?

@garek5 I used PUL from Hancocks on a pail liner I made for over a year and dried it in the dryer everytime and I never had problems with my PUL. And from what I hear JoAnns PUL is better than it use to be now.
