I have been working on a project this week and it has taken me all week to perfect it!
A lot of you are going to think I am crazy, but the past 2 weeks I have been giving cloth diapering a try. And to my surprise it has been really easy. Now I still use throw aways when we travel or go to church, but when we are home I have been sticking to cloth!
So I have fallen in love with the ease of Bumgenius diapers... but I don't like the cost {I have one}.
So this week I worked on a homemade version!
I made one, tried it, and tweaked it several times, before coming up with what I liked best.
Here is the tutorial I used:::
I made the Sham pocket version, using PUL and used Suede for a soft inside.
The tutorial was great and very easy to follow, providing great sewing tips along the way!
The only alterations I made:: I added an extra layer of PUL under the velcro strip at the top, to prevent leakage through the seams and altered where the sham pocket was located inside the diaper.
This diaper has a removable soaker pad inside, for easy washing and drying. For the soaker I used a combination of terry cloth, ZORB, and fleece. I am still testing out which soakers work best for day and night time diapering.
I hope by simplifying cloth diapering that I will actually stick with it!
And for all those wondering... the poop really isn't that bad!! :)
