what's your *must try, very fav* $$ nappy pattern?  

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
I have several of the free pattern printed out, plus I made my own using DB's actual measurments.
Yet, I still can't get over the feeling that one of the other patterns may be better or easier or just have some info I couldn't live without (if I knew about it-lol).

So, if I could buy just one diaper pattern which one should I buy?
I know the DD pattern is emailed, that's very appealing, but which pattern AIO's or Pockets? I really like pockets, but I want AIO's for dh and for days out.

The VB's, what do they look liked finished?

I'd prefer a pattern with different sizes as DB, hopefully, isn't our last
I don't have a snap press, but it would be nice if the pattern had that option for later.

Dh isn't working this weekend so he can hang out with the kids.
I have a new overlocker (thank you DH! ) 7.5 yards of PUL-colors and prints!, 4 yards of microfleece, tons of terrycloth, flannel, hemp, FOE, lastin and touchtape calling out to me.

I really like the DD pocket pattern. You could easily make it a pocket AIO. OR you could just buy both DD patterns. They are pretty affordable.

I really like hte dd pocket fitted. I also have both very baby patterns, and prefer the fitted as well. Its a great diaper and can easily be changed to do other things (night diaper, cover, gussets, contour etc) using the tutorials at sewdiapers.com.

I totally love the DD AIO pattern, and I make cotton pockets out of it! It is easier to make a pocket because you just cut a slit in your inner fabric maybe 1.5-2 inches down from the back, zigzag the edges and sew wrong sides together. Then turn right side through this hole. Super easy and a great pattern!

i do love the vb aio pattern.... but my newest favorite is the dd pocket fitted!!!! it would be totally easy to make into a pocket aio of sorts as well (just haven't done that yet!)!!! plus, it has options for front snapping, side snapping, front aplix and side aplix all on there -- no guessing!!!

another vote for both dd patterns! the only other i've ever tried was vb fitted and it doesn't fit dd well
