So my youngest, Roan, has been going through an incredible growth spurt. Which also means he's growing out of his diapers. It's been awhile since I've been sewing diapers, but I broke out my old favorite pattern from Darling Diapers, and decided to use my new snap pliers and try a new style.
I haven't had a chance to try them on Roan yet, as I just finished sewing them up and he's sleeping (yay!), but I think they may have turned out a wee bit wonky. I think they're definitely too narrow through the crotch, I think I overdid the seam allowance. I tried a new casing method on one diaper, and I'm not sure I'm thrilled with it (I had to cut a hole in the fabric to fish out a rogue elastic!). One I did a sewn in quick dry soaker, and the other I got lazy and just did a lay in soaker. But all in all, they will definitely be functional, they're super soft (I love velour! I'm almost out, I have to decide if I'm going to order more...) and I love that I made them. I will try to remember to take an action shot of him wearing one if I can get him to stand still for a moment (not the easiest feat these days!).
