What's cheaper than using cloth diapers? Using cloth diapers that you made from material your mother gave you for free!
There's been some frustration, even to the point of a few colorful words flying about. But with much patience and ingenuity I've developed a winner and a good system to get them made! How cute is this!? And I've got two other cute fabrics I'm using too!
I ordered some larger prefolds and based on the % that the smaller ones shrunk in the wash I guesstemated what the final dimensions of the larger ones would be after being washed and dried and tried to sew my diapers to those dimensions. I'd say I did pretty darn good!

Those look fabulous! Does this side by side comparison mean that your new bigger diapers arrived today? You are amazing for doing all of this. I can hear the crunchiness all the way over here! :-) Sorry you had to put up with such an uncooperative machine. I found a couple of machines on ebay today that I think might be just what you need. They sew through 8 layers of denim, or even the sheerest fabrics! Cute pink ladybug fabric is available if you decide you want to make some more.
I love the pun in the title :) You crack me up!
