scrappy leftovers: cloth diaper 2

I went to the thrift store a few days ago looking for some fabric. More specifically, some sort of water proof fabric. I found a bunch of fabric I liked that I could use for other things. But the water-proof wasn't seeming so fortunate. I went through everything! But, as I was getting ready to leave, I decided to search the shelves on the racks. Ok, these shelves are a disaster to search through. They are just so messy and unorganized. I was very determined to find something! And my determination paid off, because I hit the jack pot of water-proof material. Of coarse it wasn't all together so I had to search up and down, but I'm pretty sure I got every piece in there. Not to mention these items were 50% off to. Love it!

So I got these so I could make some more cloth diapers. I wanted something with a water-proof lining in them. I also wanted to make them a more "one size fits all". But I still need to work on that part. Anyways this is how this one turned out:

I thought that having a tie string around the legs would help for different sizes, but I just don't like it so I'll have to try something else. Every other part of this diaper I liked though. The inside is microfiber, then the water-proof lining is in the middle, and the outside cotton, which happened to be part of a tablecloth I got from the thrift store.

Here is the lining and table mats I used.


The inside. It's really soft for baby's bum. But I also have an insert that goes in here.


As you can see I added a ruffle on the inside to help prevent that dreaded back poo. Ick. I don't have my little model for these pics. She was sleeping very soundly.
