Covers, Bibs, Trainers & Inserts

I recently got some woven PUL from someone on Diaper Sewing Divas. There wasn’t enough to make a diaper the size I wanted, but there was plenty to make some other things. Woven PUL (polyurethane laminated fabric) is not stretchy like knit PUL, but it was cute and I thought I would give it a [...]

Crocheted Wool Soaker

I got the Seraphim Soaker pattern a couple of weeks ago and I really like it. The pattern is great, and since I love wool diaper covers and crocheting it was a perfect match. I did use the smaller hook for the leg holes and I decreased a few stitches on the last round (for [...]

More Diapers, Covers, & Wipes

I guess I am stuck on these patterns. I am trying to use up my stash of fabrics. I had some extra flannel I had gotten at the $1/yard table at Walmart last fall. I used most of it to make pajama pants for my boys. From the big scraps that were left I was [...]

Flannel Sheet Becomes Diapers & Wipes

I have really been trying to use fabric I have or thrift store finds to inexpensively diaper my baby. I purchased a queen size flannel sheet at a thrift store last fall for $2.00, and am just now getting around to using it. In a previous post I used two pieces of the sheet to [...]

Cloth Diaper Sewing Websites

I decided to compile a list of cloth diaper sewing websites. I may be adding to this as time goes on. Diaper Sewing ResourcesThese sites are a wealth of information on diaper sewing. There are also many knowledgeable mamas who frequent these sites. I personally have found the ladies at Diaper Sewing Divas to be [...]

Flannel Diapers and Wipes

A good friend of mine went to a yard sale on Saturday and got a big box full of things for $5. She thought of me when she added about 3 yards of flannel to that box. She brought the fabric to me Sunday, and I put it to use today. I stitched up 3 [...]

Prefolds & Flat Cloth Diapers

As much as I love to sew I sometimes don’t have time to make everything I want to. So, I purchased a few diapers and covers to help me not get overwhelmed with the task of sewing all the cloth diapers I need for the baby. I purchased a dozen DSQ infant prefolds from Dianne’s [...]

Recycled Wool Sweater

About a month ago I went to a Goodwill Outlet. It was really cool. I paid for my items by the pound. The more pounds you buy the cheaper the price. I didn’t buy much, but I figured I still got all of my items for around 50 cents each. I found 2 wool sweaters. [...]

Frugal Diapering

I stitched up another RRP Fitted Pocket One-Sized Diaper on Tuesday. I recycled a 100% cotton hooded bath towel that I was given recently. It had been used for at least one of the previous owner’s children, and I could have used it for my own baby. However, my first thought was to make a [...]

Jeans + T-shirt = Diaper

I had an old pair of jeans that had some major wear on the back side, so I thought I would re-purpose them. I used the RRP one-sized fitted diaper pattern found here. I cut the leg of the jeans open and laid the pattern so that the seam of the jeans was in the [...]
