Ok, after having seen so many great results of first diapers, I'm almost a bit too shy to show you mine.. but I won't be a coward and just go ahead..
I didn't follow a certain pattern but simply traced a kissaluv's size 0 and played around with the fabrics that I had. I believe the size turned out way too small, DD already claimed it for her doll
. (I bought that fleece at Walmart very cheap and used soft flannel for the inner layer -with a soaker pad sewed in too, made it quite bulky.. but hey, it's meant for fun and practice!
) It's by far not perfect..
I have to learn how to get it down with the elastic (somehow I must have stretched it too much or something?..) and don't look at the seams etc. either! *lol*
Either way, it felt darn good making my own diaper and I couldn't stop looking at it all night after I had it done!
-Even DH showered me with compliments (and until then he was even more the sceptical part towards the whole CD thing since we used disposables with our DD..
)
Ok, enough of my babbling,
here it is:
First Diaper
Full front
Open Backside
Open Inside

-DD was 7.7 lbs and I assume her brother will be about the same.. So I might really go ahead and give my dipe a try! (At least one time for the pic -should it not work in RL as a dipe function!
-And I'm so glad I've found this place to share it with you ladies! I know some other moms whom I tell what I do are looking at me as if I'm crazy! (They don't understand that whole CD euphoria anyways! *lol*)
: I thought velcro and aplix is both the same 'animal', only some say this and some say that???
