I’ve just made my first newborn prefolds from flannelette, thanks to your instructions. Merci beaucoup! A dozen diapers (a day’s worth) + diaper cloths cost only € 12, two euros more than disposables for a day. Wow! The only change I’ve made is to allow for a removable soaker pad so it will dry faster and to êrmit adding an interior layer of terry towelling inside for a nighttime diaper. I folded under the top and bottom of each diaper layer, topstitched, and sewed both vertical sides together. Centred and pinned the soaker pad on top, then using it as a guide topstiched a channel down each side a 1/4″ away, and topstiched the top and bottom on either side of the soaker pad channel so the dipe would be mostly sewn closed at the top and bottom but the pad be easily removable and insertable. Thank you so much!

Awesome! Thank you! I am using this pattern to make burp cloths for a friend and I’m using fabric from my stash instead of buying cloth diapers. My wallet thanks you. My closet thanks you. My husband thanks you. My pregnant mommy friend thanks you!

Is there a visual of what the final product looks like? Although the instructions are pretty easy to follow, I’m more of a visual learner and like to see pics included with the instructions or of the final product. ;o)

In reply to Jacki-
Flannel works great for the inside, but I did it for 3 diapers, and the snappi doesn’t cling on the outside. The reason: the weave is too close. Just put a looser weave on the outside (Fleece, pique from a polo shirt, etc.) and the snappis work great. Good luck!

I like your to the point pattern, if is just what I was looking for. I have been making the all in ones with PUL for my grandson but there will be another baby after the first of the year, and as you said in your article, it is difficult to try to make one of those fit a newborn, so I decided to go with prefolds and PUL covers.
I will bookmark you site for future use. Thank you so much.
