cloth diapers

It is so easy to make your own AIO diaper!Take a disposable Diaper and trace it out. Whatever size your child is in is fine. YOu can fold it in half and cut it in half and make the diapers longer.You will need three kinds of fabric from the fabric store.1. 1/2 yard of fleece 100% polyester2. 1/2 yard of mico fleece 100% polyester3. 1 yard of flannel 100% cotton4. 2 ft of velcro5. 2 ft of 1/4 inch elasticThis will make about 3 diapers. 1.Cut out all three types of fabric. Cut a long rectangle out of the flannel. Fold up the rectangle for the soaker pad and sew it on the flannel.2. Sew all three together like a sandwich FLEECE-FLANNEL-MICROFLEECE. The Microfleece goes next to the baby's skin and pulls moisture away. The heavy duty fleece stays on the outside keeps clothes dry, flannel on the inside is what soaks up the wet.3. Sew elastic on the whole back side and the leg portions make sure you put it all the way from top to bottom of the leg.4. Sew velcro on the belly portion and the ends of the back portion. (just like on a disposable diaper)waalaaa you have an AIO diaper
