just wanted to AW my mom for making me some fantastic diapers! Seriously. These things are awesome. She made me some fitteds:
And some fleece covers:
The Details:
She used the Very Baby Snug Wrap diaper cover pattern. She made the covers out of regular old fleece from JoAnne's and I haven't had a single leak with them. She used the same pattern in a smaller size for the fitteds. In retrospect, they would probably be better if we used an actual fitted pattern. I find that they are rather wide in the crotch. Still, they work like a charm. Again, I've never had a leak. She used fold over elastic around the outside of the diaper.
In the future, I want snaps instead of hook and loop. I'm tired of pulling a diaper chain out of the washing machine every time I do laundry (which is an issue with all of my hook and loop diapers - not just these). The interior of the fitteds is made of 100% cotton velour. It is super soft and doesn't have that wet feeling that a lot of absorbent fabrics have. It feels similar to velvet. The exterior is made of hemp. The soaker is made of a combination of hemp, cotton velour, and microfiber. It's absorbent enough to easily use as a night time diaper with no extra doublers.
