i just got a used pocket diaper and didn't know it at the time of purchase but the velcro strip on the front of the diaper was missing some stitching...

 

so i just resewed it down w/o sewing it into the liner, but now i just realized that the whole strip wasn't sewn on the way i just did it... as in i punctured the pul by resewing it.....

is this diaper ruined now??  please tell me it's not!  how else could i have fixed it with out taking the entire diaper apart?

    FRICK!!  that's what i was afraid of!  :-(  damn!  i haven't even used it and i've already f'd it up!!   at least it was a VERY used diaper but other than the velcro it seems in good shape until i got my hands on it.

    Next time you may want to convert to snaps. But for now just throw it in the dryer and use it at home. :-)

    As long as you used 100% polyester thread you shouldn't have any issues after a wash and dry cycle (machine dry to seal the PUL)

    If you used something other than polyester thread you may get a little wicking in that spot.
