Cloth diapers
Posted by holli jo
As I mentioned in my last post, I’ve been a bit obsessed with making crafts for my baby. My latest craft adventure has been making cloth diapers. Cloth diapers are so much cheaper than disposables, as well as healthier for the baby (and just plain cuter!).
Though I’m no expert at it yet, I’m having a great time figuring out the best patterns, the right fabrics, and all the details. I haven’t really done any sewing before, so I’m learning everything from scratch! If you’re interested, here are some of the best free patterns I’ve found so far:
Those are the best free patterns I’ve found so far, but I’m still exploring. What has been fun for me is cutting up old T-shirts to make into diapers. That way, the diaper is essentially made for free, plus the shirt diapers end up so cute. I don’t have any pictures right now, but here is an example of the kind of cute diapers you can make these days:
Pretty adorable, huh? With diapers this cute, why would anyone want to use disposables?

Imagine how thrilled I was when I was reading your blog and you linked my free diaper pattern (Rita’s Rump Pocket)! Thank you so much for the nice compliments. My little 14 month old is wearing one as I type! I wanted you to know that I will link this site on both my diapering site and on my photography site http://www.coffeeteaphotography.blogspot.com/ to try to increase your traffic. I love sites like your’s where you spend your valuable time sharing free wonderful information! Keep up the great work.

Those diapers are adorable! I’ve sent the link to your web site to my sister-in-law, who has an 11-month-old, and they are using cloth diapers too.
