This book feels good in your hands. The paper is heavyweight, and the illustrations flow perfectly.

These are the diapers made out of t-shirts. They are pockets and I stuff them with two layers of towels made into inserts. I think the work great!

Here are a few of mine:
http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/e...withsewn-i.jpg
They are all topstitched and turned since I have no serger. Two are fitted with internal soakers, and the others have external sewn-in soakers (with microfiber sandwiched in between layers of t-shirt jersey and/or flannel) to reduce drying time.

I love recycled dipes! Here's one of mine made from camo pants on the outside and sweat pants on the inside.

Gremco, those are FANTASTIC!!! If I may ask, what kind of pattern did you use? I'm thinking about entering into the foray of sewing my own diapers, and I really like the way yours turned out.

I didn't want to make a bunch of different sizes and they work wonderfully! I'm glad I made one-sizes because #2 will be here long before #1 is out of diapers. I don't even have a problem with bulkiness! Which reminds me, I need to start making more.

Also, how many layers for the diaper, not the soakers. Obviously you have an outer and inner layer, anything else?
Thanks

WOW!!!!!!!
those diapers are soooooooo cute!!!
I really have been compitplating going on the cloth diaper train. I hate the idea of polluting the earth with disposable.....I just have not been able to jump over the line to cloth....and I do not think my hubby would be overly happy with it. Besides that, I can not stand having to wash pooh out undies or our training pants(thankfully I do not have to often)....so I am not sure that I can add diapers to that. I really need to get some more info on this so I can make an informed decision.
But I will say that I REALLY like your guys diapers..although I do not know if I am talented enough to make them that cute!
this is a little off subject.... ( I can post this elsewhere if it would be better...I do not want to get the thread off of subject)
how do you get poo stains out of whites?
a pair of my son's poopy undies that had not been washed out made their way into the wash and got poo all over my new baby clothes and my hubby's new clothes. And sadly they were dried that way because I loaded them into the dryer with the lights off so I would not wake the kids. *put bag over head*

halfasianmomma are your fitted's the Shar newborn pattern? If not could you share what pattern you used?
Also, how many layers for the diaper, not the soakers. Obviously you have an outer and inner layer, anything else? Thanks |
http://www.darlingdiapers.com/darlin...fitted2008.pdf
The pattern works well with stretchy materials like jersey. The first three at the back of the pic were my first, so I had 3-4 body layers (inner and outer from the same t-shirt, hidden layers from an old jersey sheet I cut up) and 6 layers of inner soaker. I found them really squishey but realized they'll take forever to dry, so when I made the next batch, I reduced the body layers to 3 and moved the soaker outside to reduce drying time.
The next ones I plan to make with knits are the Little Starters XXS, which will probably only work for a few weeks with a newborn. That's also a free pattern.
GL!

Well, these aren't the best pictures, but the only ones I have on photobucket right now:
This was some thrift store curtains I originally bought for making an Easter dress:

These pics are of a matching set...fitted jersey pocket and fleece cover...that I made out of a set of pj's that I didn't wear any more. I used the Rita's Rump Pocket and Cover patterns, but I modified them to use Aplix closures (for DH's sake). I really like that because DH likes fitteds, but I line-dry, so fitteds with internal soakers day LITERALLY 2 days to dry. But a nice pocket fitted stuffed with a prefold or insert...you can customize absorption and take it all apart so it dries fast. Anyhoo, enough raves about Rita's Rumps...here are the pics!

Reviving this thread!
Hope this works...never posted pics before.

inside/outside
These are made of old t-shirts with some leftover jersey/interlock used as well. 9 layers total: 3 body layers with 6 soaker layers. It's the ottobre pattern (from the magazine, not the free pattern from the website).
Here's a fleece cover, not recycled material but leftover from a sleep-sack I made for dd. I just took the diaper pattern and made it longer/wider and added ruffles on the leg openings:
fleece cover
I don't have a serger so everything is turned-and-topstitched.
