No tutorial but it was super easy (well the fabric has quite a bit of stretch and I think my sewing machine decided to hate me so it wasn't super easy but the idea is super easy!)
They're just two layer 'flats' that are prefold sized (I went with the gmd small yellow edged sized - but a bit narrower to get more cuts out of the yardage and because of the stretch across the hips). So it was cut out the size I wanted plus an inch on each side for the seam allowance. Seam it all together with a half inch seam, leaving an opening to turn it right side out. Turn it. Iron the crap out of the seams. Then I top stitched all the way around with a quarter inch seam and the needle to the far right.
Using a different fabric would have been super easy peasy but the stretch in this made it harder but still not bad. The OBT is really pliable and soft plus I'm hoping the extra texture to the fabric will help contain bm poo.
I did the soakers the same way using the scraps from the yardage so they're all about 5" across but some are as long as the prefolds and some are shorter by a couple of inches.
LOVE IT!
I think you should keep a couple natural, and dye the rest in pretty pastel rainbow colors.
Great job! I was looking at the PB& E ones and thought "I can do that (If I ever figure out how to use my sewing machine from the 70's)"
I appreciate seeing your pictures & reading how you did it. Thanks for sharing!
Edited to ask: Where did you find the fabric?
Kids in the Garden
The site is down (she's taking a break for some of this month) but I've bought fabric from there before and it's always been well priced and she's been a pleasure to work with.
Thank you! I will have to bookmark that for the future.
