there hasn't been any comments on here for 2 years but, i just wanted to drop one and tell you how much of a life saver you were when i started on my CD journey! im sure many people out there and watch your video while making them.
I love learning how people personalize their child care. I am far away from having kids but am strongly leaning towards cloth for when the time comes. I just switched to cloth period pads and really like it, other than the "gross" factor of solids I don't see a reason not to do cloth and I think that gross factor will be a thing either way. I will probably have to negotiate with my future husband though lol.
Was so excited for this video, it did not dissapoint! I don't have, nor do I plan to have, children any time soon. Still really want to try this tho.. (yes I'm the weirdo who will make their child's entire wardrobe years before having the actual child. Small garments are just too cute to resist sometimes. And quicker to make too)
I really appreciate this video. BTW .... I've been sewing for about 40 years and I love your tip on securing the elastic before continuing to thread it through so you don't loose the end. Brilliance! The tool for puncturing is a sewing awl! Not all modern machines need to be oiled but your overlocker/serger should be cleaned and oiled every 4 working hours! Well done on making it easy for others to do this!
Thank you for the superb presentation. I love your natural style of talking through the process while showing us Hands on. I felt as if I were in the room with you. 😊👍🏼
I love this tutorial! I was against cloth diapers but now that the gifted diapers are long gone and I have to buy them , I find myself using the few i bought alot more often and I Need more ! I look forward to investing in these items to make cloth diapers . Thanks again for posting
I have never even thought about making your own cloth diapers! I'm filing this away for later... You make it look so easy! I'd love more sewing tutorials
I'm veeery far from having a baby and not good at all with sewing machines, and I'm still watching your video, I don't know why but I find this diy mesmerizing
thanks for this video. I'm new at sewing but your tutorial makes it seem like something i can do, even if the end result isn't as pretty. I want to at least make a couple cloth diapers and try them out to see how I like them.
Thank you so much for this video! I've finally understood the elastic process! I have family members who won't use our cloth too I tell them I've provided diapers if you don't like them you may purchase others and they've been fine with that but I don't know why people are so freaked out by it we're transitioning to underwear and poo accidents happen all the time do people just throw underwear away?
Hello! Love the video!! I do have one question about PUL. Which side of PUL is the good side and which is the wrong side? And which side is going towards baby and side that faces outside?
I love you showing how to make these, I am a sewer and love the idea of buying a couple to figure out what works then making the rest. What is the overall cost per diy diaper (fabric, elastic, snaps)?
I enjoy these sewing diys with you. Hope to see more as little Charlotte grows up and the things you make for her. Would you be able to make a video on how you service your sewing machine and oil it ?
I really loved your tutorial and your pattern,i hope you can share it to me.I'm 7 mos pregnant and planning to make this cloth diapers but i dont have a pattern. Thank you so much❤️🥰 Love,from Philippines
Hello thank u do much I love this it really nice ,pls I need measurements for this pls ,I will be very happy if I can get the measurements for this diaper
Very useful. Thanks. Has anyone made some that's actually for adults ( incontenence). I just wonder that if it is made in an adult size, can this be too heavy ? I would stictch together the inner pad to have one big enough. Appreciate it :)
This was such a great video! I am pregnant with my first baby and really want to hop aboard the cloth diapering train. How much would you say it costs to make your own cloth diapers compared to buying them online? Also, how long do you think it takes you to complete one diaper, on average? I am NOT a sewer (yet), so I know it will take me longer, but I am curious as to how long it could potentially take me to make these. Also, thanks for the pattern!!
Stupid question probably but how would this work with disposable liners? I like the idea of using cloth nappies but would quite like to just chuck away a (biodegradable) bit with the poop on rather than having to wash the whole thing every change! Is that how these work?
There are disposable liners that can be used inside the cloth diapers, they almost look like paper towel, but they are bamboo and made for the 💩. You can get 100 for less than $10.00 and they are biodegradable. You still want to stuff the pockets with the liners and if you need extra wetness protection you can still use the regular liner and put the disposable on top.
Hello Victoria. This is a great tutorial. Thanks for posting it. I clicked on the link for the template but it's not going to it. It says I have to send a request...?? Is there another link? Thank you!
What are your thoughts on using a serger to make the diaper? I've heard some people say not to because it creates more holes with more thread. what do you think?
This is a great video and I'm loving it only problem is that the free pattern you have to request access to get it, is there another link to it or do you have the dimensions?
Thanks for the tutorial, but I can't find the pattern. When I go to the FREE PATTERN site, there are no links except to photos of the tutorial. Is there a pattern that I can use to cut out the diaper? I am used to seeing a pdf file.
The pattern u have looks bigger then a standard printer. How do I print it? Also sorry if u said it in the video I have volume off cause my hubby is sleeping next to me.
how many yards of fabric is needed my daughter just decided that she wants to try cloth diapers with my 1year old granddaughter and asked me to make them
I can't print the pattern, the link goes to a blog and the "click here" button leads to google telling me I need to request access? is there an easier way to get to the pattern? If I poke around Arfy's blog there's a page that has several different kinds of cloth diaper patterns of ranging sizes but I just want the one in your youtube video that's one size
Everyone is acting like PUL is so easy to obtain in crazy patterns. I can’t find it ANYWHERE. literally anywhere. Can’t order from Amazon, Joann doesn’t carry it. So where do I get these patterned PUL fabrics?
A couple of questions: Could you use a serger instead of doing zig zag stitching? Is that a better option? Also, do you have your own pattern that shows your modifications? And if not, would you like help making one?
You could absolutely use a serger, I just don’t have one lol. I do not have my own pattern for the modifications, but the only change I made was cutting off the wings on either side.
It will print on 4-6 8.5X11 sheets. You’ll then cut and tape together for your pattern. Unless you want to go to fabric store and purchase their pattern which will be one piece
How much does it cost you to make these cloth diapers ..?? overall cost, and how many diapers can you make out of the fabric you buy..?? How much fabric do you buy ..?? I love this video but I want to know the expenses.. is it cheaper and more cost effective than buying pocket diapers..
