How I turned a bag destined for the Goodwill into a diaper stash

The only thing I ever talk about anymore is diapers. . .

I've been on a mission to start cloth diapering Sorbaby.

To save resources have decided to sew my own diaper

stash. I have been using several designs and have mostly

gotten my ideas from http://diapersewing.com/and

http://fernandfaerie.com/frugaldiapering.html but the

design below was Scott's idea.

Cut a 15x32 in rectangle from an old receiving blanket

Sew a 4x15 in terry cloth rectangle to the edge

Fold so the terry cloth is in the center 1/3 of the diaper

and sew along center edges of terry cloth strip to secure.

Zigzag open edges of diaper and your finished!

So easy and no cost involved if you reuse old materials.

Waterproof cover made from an old Gortex

coat and polyester soccer jersey.

For this cover I modified the Ultrex/PUL pattern from

http://diapersewing.com/to fit my baby.

Okay so here is the bad part of my mission:

The gortex had lost some of it's waterproof ability since it is

so old (bought in 1995 and worn a ton between Alaska,

Snowbird, and Mt. Hood). So I can't really use this cover. :(

I was going to buy some new PUL and repeat this pattern

but then my sewing machine broke so I can't. :(

I decided to just buy some ready made covers from

bummis and proraps so I can start cloth diapering now

instead of waiting for my machine to get fixed (2-3 weeks)

What will I do without my sewing machine if it is too expensive

to fix? This is one of the few machines that Scott can't/won't

work on. BUMMER!
