Why I Don't Like Pocket Diapers

Before we dive in, let me start by saying that I am a huge fan of cloth diapers. They're eco-friendly, economical, and gentle on baby's skin. However, it seems to me that many people equate modern cloth diapers with pocket diapers. And while pocket diapers certainly have their merits, they aren't the be-all and end-all of cloth diapering. Let's talk about why.

Sewing an All-in-One Diaper

Being pregnant on a tight budget, and with a strong desire to exclusively use all-in-one cloth diapers, I had to get resourceful. This is when I got my very first sewing machine. I've always known that I wanted to build an all-in-one cloth diaper stash as they are the easiest to use and clean, but unfortunately, they tend to come with a hefty price tag. So, I took matters into my own hands and decided to create my own and sew my own diapers. Furthermore, I also decided to make the diapers sized, which means that I have sewn over 100 diapers in different sizes, perfecting my sewing process. In this post, I will gladly share the most efficient way I found to make them.
