I Made Another Fitted Cloth Diaper!!
Well, I am on a roll!! I made this one out of a neon green PUL and a inner layer of the softest flannel. I think this is so cute. It has elastic in the legs and I left it to be a pocket. I am getting a lot better at my sewing.
Please , excuse the pictures. They do not do the diaper justice. It has been so gloomy here and my flash decided not to work.
My First Cloth Diaper
I made this the other night out of a cute duck print receiving blanket , an old shirt of mine, a towel, and some fleece for the soaker layer. Last night I made another one out of the duck print that I used another, light yellow receiving blanket as the inner layer!! Receiving blankets are awesome!! My son loves it. It is so soft and cuddly!
Receiving Blankets!!
I went to the local Goodwill thrift store last night to just look around and found a bunch of baby receiving blankets!! They are great for making cloth diapers out of. I am going to make a bunch of the prefolded type. They are cute patterns and very soft flannel. This is a great way to save some money!!
