Cloth Pocket diapers for my grandson. I know this is not embroidery but this is what my daughter needs right now. I have not been so stressed sewing since I made her wedding dress. Will it fit, did I put too many holes in the the PUL, will she like my diaper after trying so many "professional" diaper types. The pattern is from Babyville Boutique. Also made the older brother a nighttime pull up. Created the pattern for the pull up myself. She said the fit was good but he is such a heavy wetter he leaked through a little.

looks lie you did a great job, are these a lot of work?

these were but I was learning the pattern. You have to sew in a certain way to make the pocket. I think the next 12 will go much faster now that I "know" what I am doing. I trashed the first attempt at the pull up. I am not a pattern creator so I really didn't know what I was doing. I have made just cloth diapers for my other daughter and also waterproof training pants for her. These were just enough different to cause (self imposed) stress. Good news daughter #2 likes the diaper so I will make more. Becky

wow becky! That is anazing. Did you use a serger? The fabric looks stretchy.

I only serged the edges of the soaker insert. You can stitch and turn but I have serger so I serged. The material is not stretchy. The soaker is prewashed flannel and terry. The "diaper" is waterproof PUL which has some stretch but not a lot (not like a knit fabric). My older daughter suggested making the soaker in two sections and connecting at one end to aid in the drying time. Daughter #2 said it worked great on reducing the drying time.

I used the cloth diapers as well. These are great !

All three of mine were cloth diapers. Older daughter has used cloth on all of her children--all 6 of them. DD #2 used disposable on the first but now with two the expense caught up.
Also I think she was afraid they wouldn't be convenient but these new style are as convenient as disposable diapers.

the diaper looks great! I saw some at a local store recently and they were made with the PLU against the skin. Is that right. I know they make them with fleece & PLU but I'd think the PLU against the skin would be uncomfortable.

My PUL is on the outside with a stay dry liner or flannel against the skin. I agree with you--the PUL against the skin would be uncomfortable.

You've done a great job!
The pin holes will disappear in the hot water. I made a wetbag at my daughter's request. I also backed some store-bought bibs. That PUL is a great fabric isn't it?! I had to learn to slow down my sewing and hold the fabric steady to avoid puckering. Looks like you had no problems!
Great work! Thanks for showing us.

Since he is a heavy wetter try putting wet proof liner in between the diapers. It's at any fabric store and is called black out lining. I use it in between layers when I make changing pads should baby wet while changing diapers. And i also put it in between burp pads so should baby spit up it won't leak on mommy. The wet proof material will keep anything from leaking through to the back of the item you are making.so it does not get on your clothes. Roberta

The PUL that she used is material especially made for diapering. It is similar to drapery lining but it is more flexible, works a lot better, and it is healthier for the child to wear.
Thank you.

Great job!
For the heavy wetter, you might want to make an insert with diaper flannel. That way it would wash and dry separate from the rest but add the extra absorbency he needs.
PUL is wonderful at keeping things dry.

Very nice, these are sure pricey to buy, I'd like to attempt them for my future new grandson, I have the pul fabric bought, stressful to make, uh oh I'm in trouble. lol!! Yours look amazing!!!

Even though I was really stressed for this first one, I would recommend making them. I am going to be able to make a dozen diaper for probably what you would buy 2 online.
Not to even mention all the waste that goes to the landfill. They have certainly improved over the plastic ones we used back in the 1970's these are so practical and adjustable and lovely colors too.

Oh, what is PUL?
PUL is a waterproof fabric. It is coated on one side and fabric on the other. I think if you google "PUL for diapers" you will see sources. Mine were purchased from JoAnn's both in the store and online. I also purchased the snaps and hoop and loop tape at JoAnn's.
I forgot email me at k-bmckay at juno (dot) com if you have any questions. Becky
