Ping Polly-----Sewing for Baby

Polly, when you sew cloth diapers do you use a paper pattern or make your
own using a disposable diaper? Do you make a Semi-fitted diaper or was of
the old fashion rectangles like from 1950's. Don't have time to make any
right now, but I'm thinking I might during the winter for charity. Or I may
stick to blankets------less thinking involved! Thanks, Barbara

Fitted. No thinking involved. I made my pattern with sand paper. Stack 3
layers (diaper fabric, soaker, whatever), lay the pattern down on the stack,
stitch around and turn. Not nearly as complicated as a pillow case. Get
back to me when winter comes and I'll send or show you the pattern. Polly
