Cloth Diapering has always been used in our home with our seven children.
I have used pre folds rubber pants and pins for many years until now!
I have been making my own now and have learned a lot about diapering
and wanted to share that with you,
In the next pages will be links to places that either sell diapers or patterns
and sites that only help you with making your own.
also I have some pictures of some diapers that I have made for our children.
If you have any questions you can email me at any time. I am thinking of doing a tutorial
on diapering soon! Please come back to visit!

This is a pocket Diaper I made for Anna.
I used Flannel and Suede Cloth
This diaper is made for Abraham.
He looks so cute in this diaper it is a favorite!
I added "Pul" fabric to the inside and now it works
as an all in one!
Here is another one for our Abraham this is a large
and made the same as the farm except no pocket.
Cut out your pattern. I used White 2 mil pul in the middle of velour white on the
inside and the american print on the back.
Make a soaker for the middle in a rectangle.
Here I used Microfiber two layers I did serg it all around then pinned it to the
back piece of the diaper and stitched it all around.
Here is where I stitched on the soaker to the back piece of the diaper.
I used a straight stitch.
after you sewn in the soaker you can add your elastic if you want.
(Sorry I forgot to add that picture!)
then put all your pieces together and serge it all around.
For fun I used differnt color thread Red White and Blue.
I will show you how to straight stitch a diaper in another tutorial...
Here it is stitched with a serger and with elastic.
When you get to the elastic part just stranch it out as you pass through that.
Here is to show you the other side of the diaper.
Here you have it a complete AIO Fitted diaper!!
Now you have a few choices to personalize your own creation!
1. leave it just as it is and use a "snappy" or pins.
2. Add Velcro.
3. Add Snaps. I decided to add snap with my new snap press!!
Here I am adding the snaps (20 is my favorite size) using the press I marked the diaper
by lining up the sides as if it were closed and used a fabric marking pen
to mark the spots.
Here is what I mean by closing the diaper and seeing how it would
fit on. I decided to add a few more to accomindate my daughter.
And here it is all done! My first All in one diaper!!
