making newborn pockets....

[Leilalu]

So I have decided it will most likely be easiest with 3 co-sleeping-part-of-the-night babies if I do pockets at night for the third babe.

I would love to just copy the fuzzibunz shape and style. I guess what I want to know is this:

~~~~if you have made nb/small sized pockets- what measurements have you followed?

For pockets I love the ChloeToes pattern. It is only slightly like FB. The pattern has all sizes included. NB, SM, M, L, XL, XXL- keeps growing. When I made a stash for our 3rd, I made some NB but mostly SM.

There are two links to FB-style diapers tutorials in the first sticky. They're:
http://www.geocities.com/gabrielbaby1/fuzzibunz.html (I believe measurements are on the second page) and: http://www.this-end-up.com/faux%20fuzzis.htm (this one only has measurements for a medium).

If you want some diaper measurements to use as guidelines, I've used these ones here: http://www.diapersewing.com/measurements.htm and found them to be fairly accurate.

I really like the Wee Weka patterns for newborns, and they have instructions on making their patterns in different styles (covers vs. pockets vs. fitteds, etc). They are available here: http://www.thenappynetwork.org.nz/diy.php

There are a bunch of other links to tutorials and free patterns that you might find helpful in the first sticky

We did wee weka in smalls, but she is growing out of them. I LOVE them! If doing a nb pocket, I would put the opening in the front. Otherwise, they might be too small to stuff.

I did already find the wee weka one thanks guys! I may just trace some outlines of diapers I have in a nb size for reference for now as well. I have a stack of old doublers in the perfect size just waiting for some nb pockets to fill

I really like the Shar's newborn pattern for newborn sizing. I've done pockets and fitteds and had no trouble stuffing the pockets with an infant PF. I havent done many though and haven't tried them on an actual baby yet, but they look comprable in sizing to the 'real' pockets I have.
