I made my first fitted pocket cloth diaper! I am so excited! It was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I think I sewed it up within an hour maybe less. It was only my first time, so it will get faster too. I got the denim material from a huge skirt I got off of freecycle. The orange material was an old t-shirt I wasn't ever going to wear again. (It was totally the wrong color for me. Honestly, I don't know how I left the house in that thing. Cute for a diaper though!) I already had the thread and the pattern (Rita's Rump Pocket) was free (sweet!). I used my handy dandy printer and and the world wide web, and poof! A diaper pattern. I bought the elastic at Walmart for less than a dollar. I still have a lot left for other diapers.I haven't put any velcro on it yet, but plan to whenever I can get my hands on some. So basically, the diaper was almost free! Yes! You do have to use a cover over this perticular diaper, but this kind of diaper is still a little faster and easier than a prefold. I tried making a prefold out of a t-shirt but it took forever to dry, so I won't be doing that again. Even if the diaper is free, if it has to spend all day in the dryer it doesn't do you much good.

Very cool, Kate!! I've got some velcro you can have, but all I have is black & white. I need to clean out my closet. Maybe there is some fabric there you can use.
Love,Mom
