An Yard and an Eighth of PUL--Part One

The finished product

Like I mentioned earlier, cloth diapering inspired me to start sewing again so shortly after I began I promptly purchased some PUL to begin making my own diapers. I didn't want to pay for shipping, so I purchased some pul locally at Fabric Depot for $9.49. I'm not familiar enough with pul to know if it is one or two mm. I suspect it is two. The quality of the pul is excellent. (Of course the only thing that I have to compare it to is the pocke diapers I bought from ebay.) The only downside is that they only carry white. (Anyone know if you can dye pul?)

The inside (my husband calls this the "decoy" or "false alarm" diaper
because with all the browns, you tend to think she's poopy!)

I made my own pattern and then used this tutorial as a guide. I used flannel rather than fleece because I had some scraps around. I also topstiched. I can't imagine making one without topstiching. I had a hard time with the elastic in back and if I do it again, I'll sew in the elastic before sewing the two pieces together. I made 2 the way she suggested and just couldn't get it right. It functioned OK, but its not pretty! When I made my older daughter's diapers I did something else, but you'll have to wait until I post part two to see that!

Here are some action pics!

Sorry about my foot. I was trying to get her to hold still!
