Fuzzi Fluff: Is It Just Me?

Is It Just Me?

Am I the only one who manages to get excess PUL sucked into a seam (like the body of the diaper shifts over and I have at least 5 stitches into what certainly isn't "seam allowance"). I'm glad that my serger and I aren't in good terms, because that would have been quite a few holes in the PUL (not counting a close encounter with the knife). No, I didn't take a picture. Maybe I will next time. I seem to do this more frequently on the "turned-in-leg" diapers where the PUL outer is wider than the inner fabric. I actually tried taping the excess PUL (since I really can't pin it) to get it bunched up and out of the way. Anyone have any good suggestions on how to keep pesky PUL from migrating into harm's way?

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.
