How much PUL?  

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
How many pocket diapers (let say medium size VB) can you make out of one yard of PUL?

I've put an order in for some 1 mil PUL but need to figure out how many diapers I can make in order to know how much Aplix & Polybraid to get.

Thanks!

Outer Diaper Body Layer Waterproof fabric such as: Polyester Knit Polyurethane Laminate "PUL" or Windpro® Fleece Suggested Fabrics & Yardages: Single Diaper: 5/8 yard of 60" wide waterproof fabric will yield 2 waterproof diaper body layers. One Dozen Diapers: 3 5/8 yard of 60" wide waterproof fabric will yield 12 waterproof diaper body layers.

This is from the OSDS VB AIO pattern page. http://www.diapershop.com/index.php/...9/prevstart/0/

I probably get 5 mediums.

It's been a while since I cut a whole yard of PUL at one time, but last time I got 2 smalls, 2 mediums & 2 larges out of a yard. I think if I placed them a little better, I'd be able to get one more small or at least a newborn.

ETA: I'm making a whole stash, though, so that's why I'm making all sizes. I want a couple of diapers of each color! LOL.

5-6 diapers a yard! Perfect! I ordered 4 yards (purple, aqua, burgundy and celery) so I should have a good stash at the end of it all!
