How to make a Diaper


Find a t-shirt you no longer use.....Get a pattern and cut it up.....Fold and iron the center for absorbency.....Sew up the pieces and gussets....




Put it all together....

And WALLA!! A baby diaper, for free....

I also made this one from a polo shirt Andrew grew out of....


I used prefolds for Meagan, but I think these will be easier for people who aren't familiar with folding a diaper, and they're free. I'd like to make about 24 of two sizes. So if you have any spare cotton material or clothing hanging out, send it my way. If I had a good pair of scissors, I think I could make two of these an hour.

I am sure I have all th fabric you will ever need. Just stop by.

Still think you are crazy,though. As many as I go through, can't imagine having to wash them, too.

I would be crazy to do it too if I was in your shoes. I'll be by tomorrow evening if you are going to be home. Kiss the babies for me.
