Caroleen’s Treasures

UPDATE: I already made “nicer” and more decent cloth diapers. Please check HERE and HERE.

But if you are not into sewing, I am selling my handmade cloth diapers and baby slings at HOME OF CLOTH DIAPERS AND BABY SLINGS.

So here’s the project that I started at 10pm last night and finished at 2am.

A handmade cloth diaper!!!!

I came across this site the other day and decided it won’t hurt if I try making my own. The pattern is free and the step-by-step instructions are very easy to follow.

I am always seeing cloth diapers for sale in ebay and craiglist and the seller say they make it. I was wondering how they could sew something that looks like store bought and have always been wanting to try it too. And so I began searching the internet for free pattern and I am proud that I made one using just some left over fabrics that I have.

This is the front. I just pinned it since I have no Velcro around the house at that very moment.

The back which I really really love the shape. The soaker that I have sewn on the inner layer helps it shape up.

This is where the baby’s leg should come out in case you don’t know.

After finishing this master piece, I couldn’t sleep. I was thinking of sewing some more but I needed fabric. What I have here are for girls and Emmanuel will curse me to death if he discovered that he wore pink and flower printed cloth diapers when he was still a baby.

So today, we went to Tagum City after Ella’s class (a two-hour bus ride from here) to buy all the materials I needed and be able to get an idea on different designs of tv stands that are on display. I am so happy that Donald agreed after seeing my finished product. I will be making a separate post about that later since I can’t wait to give my sewing machine some work out.
