With that diaper disaster a few weeks ago, I realized that I do have enough diapers to get me through the first year, however, I know I don't have enough diapers to get me from 0 to about 3-4 weeks, as those other Bugalug diapers are too big for a newborn. (Sorry, can't provide a link for those Bugalug diapers, the woman who made them has returned to teaching at the University and her website is no longer available).
So, I made some tiny diapers for my soon to be born baby. See how these two are different, the one on the right has elastic attached to that outer layer of denim, but the one on the left, the elastic is attached to the polar fleece on the inside. I haven't decided which I like best yet.
These are made with 4 layers. The exterior is a thin stretchy denim, then a protective layer of water proof nylon from when I made snow pants a number of years ago, the absorbant layer is a cheepo face cloth ( 30 for $5) folded in 3, and then the inner layer next to baby's skin is some old polar fleece from about 9 years ago when I made my mum a polar fleece sweater. Even the denim is left overs. I made the 4 layers, and then turned it inside out and finished the top end along the back waist, and sewed on some velcro.
I have 6 more cut and ready to sew, but that will have to wait until tonight, or tomorrow.
