Approx $$ for Items Needed

 

This page contains approximate prices of the items                                 
you will need to sew your own diapers and covers.                                

  • Fabric-I can only make 1 diaper from 1 yard diaper flannel (it's only 27" wide)
    You can get 2 diapers from 1 yard of super flannel.   Of course this is for a big
    diaper, if your making smaller diaps you can get more.

  • Diaper flannel - $1.88 a yard (Walmart price) only 27" wide.

  • Super flannel - $2.50 a yard (Walmart price) 45" wide (I think)

  • Terrycloth - around $4.00 a yard.  Free if you cut up old towels.

  • Ultrex - $8.99 a yard. You can get about 3 covers from one yard with enough left
    over for the bias tape.

  • Printed Fabric - $4.00 a yard.  All depends on where you get it. $4.00 is an
    average price I think.  You can get 4 covers from a yard.

  • Fleece - Ranges in price.  I wouldn't spend more than $8.00 a yard.

  • Snaps - Size 16 capped prong - $3.30 for a package of 12.  Around .27cents a
    snap. Size 16 open ring - $2.50 for a package of 12. Around .21 cents a snap.  I
    use 4 snaps on my diapers and covers. I just got mine on sale from Buttons and
    Bolts!

  • Aplix - One meter of hook and one meter of loop is 3.40 GPB which coverts to
    $5.37, shipping included.

  • Elastic- Buy in bulk at the fabric stores. 1/4 inch swimwear elastic is $.25 cents
    a yard. You need less than 1/2 yard of elastic per diaper and less than 1/2 yard
    per cover.
