Default Re: Have you made your own diapers?

Watch ur thread when stitching the hook side of the Velcro. Mine always gets tangled


Top stitching fixes a lot of aesthetic issues and minor glitches.

Pre-stretch your elastic before stitching it in place (or use upcycled elastic, I always cut the elastic off of old undies )

If it looks "not quite right" don't be discouraged. I always have to remind myself that even if the seams are uneven or the tabs aren't identical, it still does a dandy job at catching poop!

If you're using pul, your thread has to be 100% polyester or else it will wick moisture badly.


After you finish it, run it through the dryer on HOT to help it seal back up at the seams.


To speed up drying time I like to make the absorbent part (soaker) snap in instead of hidden. This way it can also double as mama cloth.
