Cut out two squares of fabric approx. 13.5 x 15. I cut one
terry cloth and one flannel. |
 |
Cut out a strip of fabric for the soaker in the middle. I took
the measurement of 13.5 and divided it by 3 for my 3 folds
and got 4.5. So I made my soaker 4.5 x 15. I actually
made it a little wider so there would be a little material to
sew on. I only cut one strip of terry because this terry is
pretty thick. If your using a thinner material make sure
you surge them all together before you sew it onto your
squares. |
 |
Lay the soaker onto the square right in the middle. You
should have a little less than 4 1/2 inches on both sides.
Pin in place.

Sew the soaker onto one of the squares. At this point you
could sew it onto ONE square if you are going to “turn” the
diaper, or you can put all the layers together and sew it all
together at once. I was planning on turning this diaper,
but I realized half way through stitching the layers together
that I had the wrong sides together. Ugh! |
 |
Put all the layers together and surge the edges closed. If
you are going to turn this diaper, make sure that the
soaker is on the “outside” so when you turn it, it will
be on the “inside”. |

This is a picture of the surged edge. It’s very messy when
you have terry cloth in the mix. Of course you could surge
in a pretty color too. I was planning on doing that with the
“turned” diaper. |
 |
If you turned you diaper you need to straight stitch the
other square to the soaker |
 |
And here’s a really ugly pre-fold. LOL! No really, it’s not
that bad. I like the idea of having one terry side and one
flannel side |
