Step 1: Cut out three patterns- One to keep it waterproof. I use PUL ( poly-urethane laminate)1 or 2 mil, one of flannel for the outer, and one of non-pile fleece for the insides.
Step 2: Take the outer flannel piece and sew on your Velcro fastener.
Step 3: Pin all three layers together-flannel and fleece right sides together, then PUL on top. Sew them together. *Don't forget to leave an opening for the liner!*
Step 4: Sew on elastic around the legs. I use the straight stitch to pin it down then switch to zig-zag.
Step 5: Turn the diaper right-side out.
Step 6: Sew elastic on the opening of the diaper (Pul and flannel together)
Step 7: Fold over and sew to hide elastic.
Step 8: Sew a finishing edge (straight stitch) around the diaper. (Don't sew the pocket opening!) This gives it a cleaner look, and will keep the diaper from bunching.
Step 9: Sew on velcro to diaper tabs.
Viola! You're done! Now wasn't that easy?!

Very NICE! Were you able to find the PUL in Juneau or did you order online? My friend Robyn is doing cloth diapers and so I made a couple just to see...way easy make. I was only making for fun so I gave them away to my co-worker to try out but no PUL and they didn't have the removable soaker pad...nice work though! They are SUPER cute! Do you have the broken zig zag stitch on your machine? I tried that instead of the straight and then zig zag and it worked great...Keep sewin'!
Boy, this would be the way to do it! I can't believe how expensive they are to buy... but I'm sure these are WAY cheaper (plus much more cute w/ such fun fabrics!). I haven't been too interested in cloth diapers, but we'll see! :)
