Honestly, the first thing that drew me to them was how cute they are.
That's bad, I know.
But then I quickly learned how much better they are for baby, the environment, and my wallet.
I knew as soon as I became pregnant again this time that I'd want to use cloth again.
I'm starting over completely with my diaper stash, so I decided it's a good time to start sewing a few of my own!
If you look online, you'll find lots of good patterns for diapers.
I've pinned a few patterns as well as some sites with great info about cloth diapering and accessories in my Diaper Stuff board on Pinterest.
By far, the one mentioned the MOST online is the Classic RRP - Rita's Rump Pocket Pattern.
And there is a reason this one is mentioned so often - it's AWESOME!
This pattern is used to make a one-size fits most flannel fitted pocket diaper without closures.
BUT it can be changed up a little - add snaps or applix to close it up.
Change out the outer layer with some PUL or fleece so you don't need a cover.
And of course, since it's a pocket diaper, you can stuff it as much or as little as you want depending on how much your baby wets!
Love it!
Here is the result of my first attempt at a diaper using the RRP Pattern:
Finished diaper, all folded and ready to wear
Outside and insides of diaper - without any snaps or applix, this diaper is reversible!
I'll be making lots and lots more of these!
