Cloth Diapers

As most of you know we use cloth diapers. We LOVE them. We love the fact that they are inexpensive, good for the environment, and great for the twins' little bums. Cloth diapering today is nothing like using the cloth diapers and pins of the past. There are All-In-Ones (AIO) that go on just like a disposable with velcro or snaps, there are pocket diapers that are similar to AIOs, but you can insert added layers of absorbency, and there are prefolds with convenient velcro or snap diaper covers. All of these options come in tons of cute colors and prints. Washing them is super easy too! After trying out all kinds and brands of cloth diapers I have found what works best for us and I've learned to sew my own! I found patterns and online diaper sewing stores to buy all of the materials. Below is a picture of Parker showing off one of his new diapers. The ones I have made are AIOs and are awesome! They are trim fitting and more absorbent than any I have purchased (including disposables).

Thanks Christy. The new pattern that uses elastic in the back and legs instead of binding the whole diaper is soooo much easier! I'll post a picture of that one soon.
