How To Make All In One (AIO) Cloth Diaper?

Step1
Choose the fabrics. Having the inner lining made of fleece and the outer lining made of flannel works well, but the color and patterns are up to you. You don't have to buy new material, but cut up old flannel blankets, shirts or whatever fabric that suits you.

Step2
Cut open a brown paper bag to use as pattern paper, and draw an hourglass shape. You can use another cloth diaper as a template.

Step3
Snip out your pattern piece and place it on the fabric for your cloth diaper. Have the right side of the fleece facing the right side of the flannel. Trace around the pattern piece with a pencil, then use a ruler to add ½ inch seam allowance all the way around. Cut out the fabric around the outer line.

Step4
Create a soaker out of a rectangular piece of burly terry cloth. This should run the length of the diaper. Pin this to the wrong side of the fleece and sew it into place. You can have two layers of soakers should you have a heavy wetter.

Step5
Measure the thighs of your baby and cut two lengths of ¼ inch elastic the length of the baby's thigh. Pin this to the wrong side of the flannel and sew it into place, being careful to make certain the elastic is stretch as you do so.

Use a zig-zag stitch on your sewing machine or an elastic stitch if you have those options. Measure the baby's back, and cut a piece of elastic to length. Stretch this along the whole back of the wrong side of the flannel, pin and sew it in place.

Step6
Pin the two fabric pieces together, and sew around the stitch line on a sewing machine. Leave one end open. Turn the fabric right side out, and close the open end by hand or with a sewing machine.


Step7
Close the diapers with either diaper pins or by sewing Velcro tabs on the diapers. Either option makes the cloth all-in-one diaper adjustable.
