Fleece Pull Up Covers ...

I am using Katrina's Sew Quick Soaker Pattern. It is very popular free pattern and there is even a bonus Video Tutorial by Sew Cheeky .


I made one NB, it was so small I decided to go with her small size. So hopefully it fits!

This is Wazoodle polar fleece. Definitally higher quality than the Fabricland (Canadian Chain). The Wazoodle polar fleece will look like new wash after wash!

These soakers turned out fablous! The are so cute and so easy to make. I can`t wait till the little guy arrives to test them out!!




One size fits all Pocket Diaper ...

Microfleece Inner ...
Oh soooo soft!!
Flannel Outter ...

Regular Fold ...

Rita's Rump Pocket Folded!

Now ends folded down to fit an infant ...

Rita's Rump Pocket Folded for an infant!

Starting out ...

After researching cloth diapers extensively ... wow ... it is amazing how addictive cloth diapers are ... I decided to go with one size fits most pocket diapers, Zorb pocket inserts and fleece pull up covers. The pocket diaper and absorbent inserts will soak up messes and the water resistant fleece cover will contain the dampness. I will have to wait a bit longer to test them out on my baby -- I am due Feb 14th.

The two patterns I chosen are extremely popular and available free for download.

1. Rita's Rump Pocket aka RRP
2. Katrina's Sew Quick Soaker Pattern *I made one NB, it was so small I decided to go with her small size.

I ordered flannel, fleece and soaker fabrics from Wazoodle. Wazoodle.com is a huge online retailer of all diaper making (or non diaper making) fabrics and supplies. They can be slow to ship, but the quality was worth the wait.
