The baby stuff!

Ok so I knew all along since day 1 of trying to have a baby that we would be cloth diapering and using cloth wipes. So I finally got the show on the road and made a little over 50 wipes. Then yesterday I started my diapers. I've finished one diaper. Not perfect, but it'll work and that's what's important here :)

The wipes are just 8x8 inch squares of terry cloth and flannel that are serged together. For the terry I just cut up old towels.

This is the color flannel I used. I got the flannel for all my diapers and wipes from the thrift store or from clothes I already owned. The flannel for the wipes was a purple sheet I got from the thrift store for about 2 dollars.

This is to show off both sides of the wipes.

This shows both sides as well.

I made this diaper using the Rainy Days Pattern. They aren't perfect! (First time serging around curves and it's not easy but I started to get the hang of it by the time I had to make the inner soaker "petals".)

This diaper is the size 1 diaper. It fits a newborn and a baby up to 18 pounds. This is  snapped so it would fit a bigger  baby.  You can make it even bigger by not snapping it as far across.

This is snapped so it will fit a newborn. It is folded down and snapped so that it won't irritate the cord stump . So it truly is great for a newborn.

This is the diaper all stretched out to show the snaps and the inner  soaker "petals", which are basically exactly like a doubler. They are sewn together and then snapped into the inside of the diaper.
