doll diapers

Okay....In case you missed my easy no-sew version doll diapers...click HERE


Now for those of you who can wield a sewing machine...this one's for you.

I got all these great birp clothes with my last baby...really big...to catch all that *birp*. But my daughter wasn't a big spit queen...so they were hardly used!

we actually use on as a rug in our barbie house


I just cut out a basic diaper shape (I should know what they look like...I get one out of diapers and another one comes along-- almost 7 years of diapers...whew)
these birp rags are two pieces of flannel sewed together...So I cut out the diapers shapes and seperated each piece and added a stripe with a circle.


put right sides together

I sewed all the way around except for the top....but before I turned them right side out...

I cut little notches along the curved edges....helps it lie flat when it's turned right side out.

my unfinished edge (there are two diapers here.....) I use my iron to help me hold that edge in and stay put. then I sew it up. On one diaper I continued sewing all along the edge...on the other I just did the edge...so you can pick whatever floats your boat.

add some velcro.....I had all the babies out when I made these to make sure they fit...but if you don't know what size your doll--or you want it to fit more than one doll--  you can just add one big piece of velcro to make it adjustable:

omygosh my hands look old. I am a twentysomething trapped with seventy year old hands!!!
oh, sorry. back to what were doing......
if you trust your kids..you could use safety pins. Add that cloth diaper wonder woman affect:




and done. no more baby posts for a week (I was going to say longer...but let's get real!)
