My first diaper and I'm so excited about how it turned out! I've been putting this off for so long because I knew it was going to be super complicated and your tutorial with a million pics was so easy to follow! I really appreciate you taking the time to do this! Bree The link and pattern worked great for me! My first diaper and I’m so excited about how it turned out!

There are a few questions about inners/absorbent stuff. It's a pocket nappy, so generally I make an insert out of hemp/bamboo that's pre-fold size, or approx 30cm square depending on what I'm cutting it from. You can also use washers or microfibre cleaning cloths, terry flats folded up, whatever is easy and is absorbent enough ;) Hopefully the pattern link is working again now.

I've been using cloth dipes for several months and wanted to make my own, so I searched the net for an easy way to do it and this was one place I found thru all my searching. It seemed simple to understand for someone like me who doesn't sew all that often and who's NEVER made anything other than pillows and simple curtains. And I was super happy about all the photos (I'm a visual learner). I definitely made errors, but I'm so gonna make more :) SO glad I found this! Thanks for sharing it!

Thanks Hi there,

What do you find is the best to use, fleece or suedecloth and which one do you find is the most absorbent? Just curious also, as I noticed you don't use a booster or inner fabric at all for your pattern, how often do you find that you have to do nappy changes? Is it possible that I could use flanelette on the inner, terry towelling in the middle for more absorbency and PUL on outside?

Is the pattern still available? Thank you so much, Alissa Hi there,

It's fantastic!<br/>I'd like to have your authorization to put a link from my blog to your site and - if you agree - make a translation in French of your tutorial, so that other mothers in France could try your nappy. Can you let me know if you're ok?<br/>Thanks a lot for sharing your nappy method and pattern! I tried your nappy method a few times now. It’s fantastic!

So easy and quick that i managed to do it during DS's naps, and still had time for lunch! if it wears well I will certainly make it again because it's very economical of fabric. patterns that have the "wings"--in your case the fleece waistband--cut all one piece with the body leave me with odd-shaped bits of PUL I hate throwing away but can never use.<br/><br/>one thing i might change--when I sew the front panel to the fleece front, i might fold over the seam allowance edges of the PUL where it will later attach to the inner layer. does that make any sense? just finished it, but haven’t tried it on DS as he is asleep.

one thing i might change–when I sew the front panel to the fleece front, i might fold over the seam allowance edges of the PUL where it will later attach to the inner layer. does that make any sense?
