My first sewn cloth diaper without help. Just a few alterations and it will fit perfectly. Hopefully each new one will start to look better in appearance.

About Me
- Mon
- Missouri, United States
- Since the creation of this blog, a lot of changes have happened. I have gone back to work and Tim stays home with Ruben, now 2. Makayla, 8, attends school. God continues to make amazing changes in our lives. It may seem odd that Tim stays at home, but God has really shown our family many blessings in this situation. Now we are seeking God's will in our life together. We have a desire to learn to live off the land and get back to the basics. What better than to be able to spend more time with family, then your co-workers. By the way, I do like my co-workers. It's totally God that has put me in my position at work. We are proving that it's possible to live off a one-person (lower) income. It's not that we go without, but our focus has changed. Through all of this we are praying and believing that God will raise up a ministry for us so that we can share the gospel of Jesus with others. I enjoy knitting and reading non-fiction when I find a good book. I am still searching for new ways to save money, but I don't have near the time anymore. I hope you enjoy this blog and find some helpful and good ideas to use. Please leave comments!

You did a great job! It looks like the velcro makes a good fit around his belly. Snaps can be difficult when the babies are in-between the snaps (one being too tight and the next snap over being to loose)...but velco can catch and snag a lot in the wash. Pros and cons to both I guess. You'll have to do snaps on one and let me know which you prefer.
I'm just amazed how well this diaper soaks up! I don't have to worry about leakage on my bed or other places.
Dude, I wish I could sew! I used a Gerber pf (i know i know... but they are so cheap!) for the first time yesterday. Yeah, it is 4 am here... I had to bf emme and now I'm wide awake!
I must show my ignorance...what is a Gerber pf?
Come on Lady!!! Get with the lingo...
Gerber is the brand name and
PF = prefold (the square, bulky, yet very affordable, old-fashioned cloth diaper). Chinese prefolds are more absorbant than Gerber and like brands...but if you are home and can change them in a timely fashion then more power to ya', Giz!
And, what the heck!?!?!? - 4:00 am!!!
Oh, side note - completely nothing to do with cloth diapers or saving money - but I felt Baby Four move for the first time this past Saturday night and again late last night...and this morning. This kid is a mover!!! A puncher. I love this part of the pregnancy. Gusess I better make an appointment with the doctor. I hate that part.
Oh, and yeeeeeaaaaah, my diapers hold the pee well!!! Let me know how well it holds the other stuff.
Are you sure your baby is not due sooner? I never felt any movements until 4 or 5 months along.
I think I'm four months along. By the time I visit the doctor I should be half way there - I'm guessing a September birth. My first appointment is May 4th and if the doctor is half as nice as the receptionist we should be good to go.
