Just starting to make CDs: What kind would you start with? - Page 2

Thank you so much for the advice, everyone.

This thread - and all of your responses - really fires me up to make more diapers. I have a lovely hippie cousin who is due on the Solstice, and I'd like to get some diapers her way. The ideas and encouragement here really convince me I can make some presents for her and her little one.

Here is a photo she sent of the diapers she is making. Can any of you tell what sort of material that is?

Forget this looking for a job stuff, I'm going downstairs to play with the sewing machine!

hmmm, I'm not sure, they look a little bit like wool to me. Are they covers?

I knew I had seen instructions for a pocket prefold somewhere....Actually, it's a stuffable prefold, here: http://fernandfaerie.com/sewing_prefolds.html if you scroll all the way to the bottom, the instructions are down there, if pocket prefolds tickle your fancy.

I voted for fitteds and covers because that is what I'm starting with. I purchased the Very Baby diaper pattern and it is so easy to follow. I made one diaper yesterday and one today. Even though they are not perfect they work really well. I thought the elastic was difficult too, I had a hard time getting the legs even.

Now I wish I had a snap press!!

Ah, you're right - I bet they are covers!

Too funny. I just bought the Very Baby pattern today! Can't wait to try it out.
