by I just started using cloth diapers and have been for me an extraordinary discovery. Since I enjoy sewing autoprodurmi I tried a pile of pants to put on the prefold. The pattern I designed myself copying the panties that I had already purchased from a British website (babykind). I'd share the process and also the pattern, hoping to appease other moms like me who want to sew diapers.
- the pattern: To create your own pattern you need paper in stationery velinain sale or you can do with any paper you have at home (including those of newspapers). Take a diaper or pants of their child and relies on paper, and keeping tense opening it well (better to get help, their husbands are very good) you draw the outline on paper. That's it, now you have the pattern! I did it this way, for me is quick and easy. I'm not a seamstress and I am not very familiar with the sewing but it is not difficult! Once you have the pattern you can always adapt it increasing a cm here and there, depending on how the baby grows.
- Place the pattern on the fabric
- fix pattern with pins
- Cut the fabric according to the pattern, but adding (only the diaper and insert) all around 2 cm in most because they served to make the edges
- Fold in half the diaper to see if it is perfectly symmetrical, if it is not necessary to trim the most abundant. Remove the pins
-
- Apply at the center of the diaper and insert rectangular baste
- Fold 2 cm each side of girogamba inwards and baste
- Fold 2 cm of the edge of the diaper for the reverse and then the front side and baste
- Fold the two edges of 1 cm of the parties that will close the diaper and baste.
- Put Velcro: the soft part must be as long as the front part of the diaper, while the last two are enough small pieces. Baste all
- Put the rubber band. Take a long piece of elastic 5 mm flat top at the ends and put two small safety pins. Insert it into the edge of the girogamba, sew one end to the desired, continue to enter until you get to complete the length of the girogamba, stretch the rubber band to get the curl you want and to stop sewing. Cut off the excess elastic. Repeat with the other girogamba and the back side of the diaper.
- Sew all with the sewing machine
