If you want to make it 4x8x4, here's how to do that with a single piece of fabric: http://www.geocities.com/cyndiegran/diapertext2.html

But of course 2X3X2 is fine for hemp. But I'd make the whole thing out of hemp french terry if you use a snappi, don't know if you do but flannel is unsnappi-able so it'd be better to have terry loops where the snappi would go.

If you join here there is a really great set of pictures showing how a prefold is made. The lady who posted it actually took one apart to find out how it was done. Looks really easy!
