These are the instructions to sewing your own all-in-one cloth diapers

Fold a piece of newspaper in half and cut out or trace half of a disposable "shaped" diaper.












Unfolded pattern











Take pattern and pin to 2 layers of fabric of your choice. I have been using flannel, as I've heard it has good absorbency. Leave about 1/4 inch of fabric overhanging the pattern.











Use the pattern to cut out waterproof fabric of your choice. This is an unused ikea shower curtain I had.

On the bottom of this stack put your 2 layers of flannel, then the waterproof layer, then take a prefold cloth diaper and lay on top of stack, fold excess or overhang up toward the center of the diaper. Pin it on 4 sides.











Trim prefold overhang.











Sew along the edges of the "stack", leaving the bottom open. Don't forget to backstitch to keep stitches from coming undone. When you've sewn all edges, excluding the bottom, fold the diaper in half and with a yellow highlighter make where the elastic will go.










This is where I'll start and end elastic band.













You'll do the same for the leg elastic...













Notice the slight yellow marks...













Using a zigzag stitch, pull elastic taught, and stitch in elastic.












Here you can see the elastic sewn in the back...













All elastic in...


















To turn inside out, go in between the flannel layers...

After the diaper has been turned inside out and there are no open areas that need to be re-stitched you'll want to close up the front of the diaper by folding each piece inward and pinning. Backstitching is very important here...stitch it closed...

Use velcro, or snaps, or whatever closing device you wish, and there you have it...an all-in-one cloth diaper...Way to go ROCKSTAR, you just saved yourself about $16!!!
