The investment in a diaper pattern was well worth it. I now have a beautiful strawberry shortcake print fitted diaper made for my little princess. Yay!! Yipee!!

[clapping] Good job!

Awesome!

Now there's no turning back...she has been assimilated folks ;)

Strawberry shortcake dipe...that's gotta be adorable!

Ruth, what pattern did you use? and what fabrics? if you don't mind me asking.

Yes, I want details please! :P

I would like to see a pic! :D

I used the Goodness Gracious diaper pattern for my sizing and used directions on the internet for the sewing.

I actually used straight out cotton for part of it---hmm, might use flannel in the future. And I used a microfiber auto towel for the soaker pad.

Does that diaper patten require a serger? I don't have a serger but may give something like this a try, especially if we decide to have more chidren. (I tried Googling the pattern, but the links kept coming up with an error page.)

You can turn and topstitch any pattern. That's what I do. For sizing, just add about an inch all the way around and turn and topstitch it.

Thanks for that tip! I've tried zigzagging edges before but it seems to unravel with use and washings. I will try adding to to edges so I can turn and topstitch!

No, I didn't use a serger. I just finished another dipe recently. As a matter of fact, my baby is wearing it right now. This one is in moon and star print!!

Good for you Ruth! I can't wait to seek advice from you on cloth dipes one day! You have really stuck with it! I love learning about cloth diapers from the wisdom shared here. Keep sharing thos posts.

Here's to all the cloth diapering mommies and babies and to all who hope to follow in the cloth diapering footsteps one day!

God is Good!
