Fuzzi Fluff: Diapers made with Cloth Revolution Pattern

Diapers made with Cloth Revolution Pattern

I just made a half dozen Newborn size diapers for my nephew using the Cloth Revolution Diaper Pattern. I did deviate from the instructions somewhat: I made the pocket in the manner described in the Jalie tutorial, the laundry tabs on the inside weren't on the pattern, & the soakers aren't from the pattern. The soakers are 4"x12", two layers of regular-weight bamboo fleece with cotton "Warm and Natural" batting in the center. One side of the soaker has the "right" side of the fleece out & the other has the "wrong" (fuzzy) side out.

The outer shell is PUL (not Fabrite or Joann, but I can't remember which Coop I bought it from) & the inner is white "Costume Weight" Alova Suedecloth from Joanns. These are the first diapers that I made with hook & loop (and, of course, I can't remember if I had bought Aplix or Touch Tape - it's one of the two). I added 1" diaper tabs on the inside of the diapers to help keep the hook free of gunk while in the wash.

Enjoy!

I'm an accidental cloth-diapering mom. I stumbled on the "new" cloth diapers while on a hunt for wooly nylon thread for my serger. Then a dear friend gave us a Knicker Nappy diaper as a new-baby present. When you add all of this to the fact that I collect hobbies (and fabric and sewing patterns) with not wanting to buy a box of diapers every time I turned around - you wind up with my little misadventure.

I refer to all of this as misadventures because I do screw up, I'm not doing this "for the greater good", and I'm trying to keep this fun (because raising kid isn't always fun).

I'm old enough to remember plastic pants and jabbing myself royally with a diaper pin with younger relatives. I also remember the nasty disposables that had one-shot-to-get-it-right tabs. I'm glad that I have more options for my little girl.
