As you may or may not know, my friend Jac uses cloth diapers (for Parker! Jeeze, sorry Jac, I just about sent the rumor mill into over drive on that one! Forgive me) and she loves them. I was planning on doing the cloth route myself for Eli until I got a boat load of FREE diapers from my shower, then I didn’t see the need because for me, its about being
Have any of you noticed that joannes has a”babyville boutique” section now with all the fixins to make your own cloth diapers, including a booklet on how?? I was like a kid in the candy store when I discovered this! My wonderful mom bought me the snap applicator and snaps for my birthday (giddy I tell ya!) and I had all the other supplies I needed in my stash so I bought the book and got to work.
Ta da! Eli’s first homemade cloth diaper:
The book recommended different fabrics to “wick” away the moisture and it said minky was a good choice for this so it’s super soft and I’m actually considering making ME a pair. If you felt this thing, YOU’D want one too, don’t judge.
A pocket to insert a soaker. I just folded and put in a cloth diaper I already had been using as a burp cloth
And my chunky monkey muse modeling it :)
He’ll just need a size 2T pant is all while wearing this thing.
I think I’ll experiment with different fabrics to see which absorbs best and what not. We’ll see. So as cheap as I can make these things, I figure it’s worth a try! Check out their website here.

How do you wash them? and keep them from staining?
Hey Cas, I was researching that question myself because I had heard you can't just use any detergent for cloth diapers and from what I've read, the best one to use is "Charlie's soap" with a cold rinse cycle followed by a hot rinse. The reviews said it was the best for getting out smells and stains. I'm not gonna use the diaper until I get some of this first. I'll let you know how it goes
