While I didn't really need these, I already had all of the fabric and snaps. Having a few more was going to be handy and they really did not take all that long to put together. I loved making the minky ones, Miss J and Miss C often came over to touch and kiss the soft diapers. The yellow "space" one is one I've been wanting to make for a long time. I had the fabric left over from making some PJ's and could just see it as a cute little diaper!
I made some of these type of diapers for Jeremiah and they worked great. The only difference is that I used velcro instead of snaps, just a personal preference. :-) What did you use for the lining? How about the soaker pad? Just curious...
ReplyDeleteAnyhow, great job as always! They are so cute! :-)
Betsy- Isn't it great to make these sorts of things on your own? The two that are lined with a print are flannel, the light blue lining (on the yellow space one) is velour, and the others are micro fleece. ALL of the fabrics were just what I had on hand. The soaker is made from a micro fiber cloth that can be found in the car care section of walmart!
ReplyDeleteHave you tried snaps? I had always used velcro too (and thought I would NOT like snaps on diapers), until about a year ago. Now I only use diapers with snaps, though they are a bit of an upfront investment. I requested a set of snap pliers for my birthday a few years ago for making bibs, and I've been hooked on snaps since then!
Gabe- Thanks for the info on the fabric. I love making diapers, not sure why but they seem so cute to me! :-) It's nice to see that you just used what you had on hand. :-) That's a great idea for the soaker pad! I'll have to look into it next time I make diapers.
ReplyDeleteThe only diapers with snaps I have tried are the ones that you gave me, and I Love them! I'll have to look into getting a set of snap pliers as well when I make my next set of diapers. :-)
