Comments on: How to Sew your Own Simply Nights Nighttime Diaper http://verybaby.com/tutorials cloth diaper sewing tutorials Sat, 06 Mar 2010 06:26:11 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: frozendiva http://verybaby.com/tutorials/how-to-sew-your-own-simply-nights-nighttime-diaper/comment-page-1/#comment-550 frozendiva Wed, 19 Sep 2007 07:19:57 +0000 http://verybaby.com/tutorials/how-to-sew-your-own-simply-nights-nighttime-diaper/#comment-550 Just wanted to say that I'm sewing a nighttime diaper (with the AIO pattern) WITH the outer layer of PUL, and haven't had any trouble with turning & topstitching. Body is 1 layer of hemp jersey, 1 layer of hemp french terry, and 1 layer of microfleece. Soaker is 4 layers of hemp jersey and 2 layers of hemp french terry. Doubler (that I haven't yet used with my son for this super absorbent and soft diaper) is one layer of hemp jersey, two layers of hemp french terry, and one layer of microfleece. It's a big fluffy diaper, but great for nights!

I used 2 body layers of organic cotton French terry and microfleece. I have not yet made the soakers, but the shell turned out very well. I would recommend extending the back a bit to make the wings wider if you really care about that. The only problem with it is my 19lb 4 month old cubby baby. He doesn't fit in anything right now. The shell also works great on its own as a diaper without an insert if you need one in a pinch. I hope this was helpful.

The layers are pretty thick - if you give it a go let us know how it turns out I haven’t ever tried it, but I don’t see why not!

I'm very interested in making one for my little one. She always wakes up just soaked and stinky!! This can be done with a conventional sewing machine, right?

I've never done it but she sent me pictures of a few she had done and they looked great. I too make fitted's from the AIO pattern for customers. I have a lot of customers that don't care for the leg ruffles that many other fitted patterns have. It is also very trim, which is a big plus!

I think I will give it a shot. By the way... I forgot to say that I never actually use the waterproof layer. oops... I prefer the look of the AIO pattern, so I use it for my fitteds. It has become a way of life here, and I sorta forgot that everyone else uses the PUL layer Could I serge the AIO pattern?? hmmm maybe I'll just stick to the basics Thanks… I think I will give it a shot.

And like Jess said, you don't use the outer PUL. I just did 2 layers of hemp, or organic cotton, or whatever absorbent body layers you'd like, the layer of microfleece or suedecloth if you want, and then the soakers. It IS bulky and a bit tricky to turn and topstitch, but it you take it slow, you can do it. I made them for several customers and they all said they worked great for overnight. I am now licensed for the Very Baby pattern and have to admit that now I just make the regular Simply Nights because the serging is so much easier than the turning and topstitching of all those layers.
