ottobre pattern - foldover velcro pockets - show me?

Hi!
I just ordered supplies and am trying to decide which pattern to go with. I think the little foldover laundry tabs on the Ottobre pattern look cute. Any opinions on them? Anybody have pictures to share? :
Thanks!

I hated them! They never stayed over the velcro, they would bunch up and the velcro would be exposed and they would all stick together in the wash... And the sizes are HUGE, in comparison to my petite babe. The rise is super tall. I like the MamaBird pattern better for size, it's very similar.
Anyway, I like the velcro tabs where there is another piece of velcro (one loop, one hook) sewn right next to it and you just fold them over and stick em to each other. Can't find a pic off hand...

i make my diapers from the ottobre pattern, they are huge though and i used the newborn - 6 months pattern for my 21 months old and it still fits her. i like their tall rise so its a matter of preference.

i dont actually follow it to a T, instead of making it fitted and flannel, i use fleece instead and turned them into covers. so my foldover tabs are from fleece and i find them work well, no diaper snake in the wash. they do however accumulate lint so i hv to clean the tabs with a fine comb after each wash to keep them in tip top condition. i've tried several laundry tabs and so far the ottobre ones works best for us.

I use the Ottobre pattern from the magazine which is similar to, but not quite the same as the free one online. I like the foldover tabs, they seem to work well so far! When I take the dipes out of the washer, the tabs are still folded over, so no snakes here yet. Maybe it depends which kind of velcro you use, how well they will end up sticking to the tabs.

Here are the inside/outside of the ottobre diapers I've sewn (they are the largest of the 4 sizes).
