tangerine.baby: diapers....

i'm going to be honest....these were a huge pain for me to make! i have been wanting to create my own because i knew it would be cost effective and heck...i can sew! but man were these tedious. sewing with knits is much more difficult to do and me and my serger just don't see eye to eye very often so these took me a few weeks to make! i haven't put snaps on them yet but i think they are working fantastic with the snappi so i may not hassle with it :)

the construction of them is as follows:
inner: velour (bamboo (obv) $8yd or cotton (cv) $5yd)
hidden layer: bamboo sweatshirt fleece $8yd
outer layer: super cute knit print (no more than $3yd...most bought super cheap from goodmama's discontinued fabrics or repurposed fabrics i already had)
snap-in soaker: 2 sets serged of: 1layer velour/2 layers regular fleece (all bought as remenents super cheap for about a $1yd)

for the pattern i used the rita rump pocket http://handmadebyrita.blogspot.com/2007/10/classic-rrp-ritas-rump-pocket-pattern.html
the only changes i made were extending the middle by and 1.5inches for a longer rise and i made the wings a bit fatter...(i actually deconstructed one of my well loved goodmamas (gm) for snap placement)

overall i would say that i am very happy with the outcome though...they are extremely absorbant and trim!
