I have tutorials for both. http://prefold2fitted.blogspot.com/2013/04/turned-and-top-stitched-fold-in-fitted.html<br />Also, you can assemble them so that the wings are not covered with the outer materials. http://prefold2fitted.blogspot.com/2013/06/fold-in-fitted-with-print-or-fleece.html<br />Both those are also linked from the downloads page list. :) If you want to use microfleece for a stay-dry inner with this template, then I'd suggest folding the wings OUTWARD instead of inward. That way the whole part touching the baby is stay-dry. I designed this primarily to be an easy-wash, quick-dry, easy to assemble style fitted suitable for people without access to washers and dryers. But I know it has become a favorite for people as a low-bulk night-time fitted option since it is also easy to slide a doubler under the wings and add more absorbency easily.Arfyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13259584291946712495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158820338690853168.post-32315776674423852762015-08-31T14:38:21.041-07:002015-08-31T14:38:21.041-07:00Sorry for the trouble but I was confused because t...Sorry for the trouble but I was confused because the pictures aren't of just one diaper :0 . But Thank you so much for everything that you've provided (pics, info, etc.). between here and YouTube I've been able to collect all the help I needed to sew my own stash that's lasted me almost 2 years already :) <br />Anyways my question for this post is : the material that is on the outside is what the baby will eliminate on? <br />I like mine lined with fleece so I would have to make the outer fleece (then say a couple or a few layers of jersey or terry etc.) and then the top inside layer of something (baby bum safe) like flannel? <br />And my second question: Does this pattern get turned inside out?? (I'm guessing No? am I wrong? it's serged so I didn't think so...<br />THANKS FOR YOUR HELP :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14663221974993712802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158820338690853168.post-86374497982858889662015-08-02T22:04:16.310-07:002015-08-02T22:04:16.310-07:00They don't have as snug of a fit at the legs a...They don't have as snug of a fit at the legs as a normal cased elastic fitted diaper would, but many people still say they work well for EBF poo.

I know the front is left open, but how did you get your hand in there, and get everything threaded? Also, it looks as though you just tacked the edges down, rather than zig zagging all the way down the elastic, to allow it to move freely in the casing, is this correct?<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06238207376022378824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158820338690853168.post-7161536002165995392013-10-13T10:10:41.140-07:002013-10-13T10:10:41.140-07:00If I just printed the pattern - does it include se...If I just printed the pattern - does it include seam allowance for turned??

I'd say the smallest setting of the OS would be about 9lbs with a serged diaper and maybe as small as 8lbs with T&T. It'd be pretty bulky though depending on your layering and fabrics used. If intending to use it from that small, I would make it thinner and then plan on adding a doubler/soaker to it with the larger sizes. I know Gingerbread Cloth sells hers that way. :)Arfyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13259584291946712495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158820338690853168.post-62511083328728666682013-08-29T12:32:12.735-07:002013-08-29T12:32:12.735-07:00If it was MICROfleece, then it would probably work...If it was MICROfleece, then it would probably work. However, with both wings folded in, it would be two layers of microfleece for the liquid to have to pass through. I'd be worried. If you just want to go with the Fleece AIO or hybrid-type fleece outer though, you could do it like my print-outer fold-in-fitted tutorial. Where only the body has the fleece and not the fold-in soaker sections.Arfyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13259584291946712495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158820338690853168.post-4676264708159676862013-08-29T11:40:04.231-07:002013-08-29T11:40:04.231-07:00First, thank you for sharing these patterns for fr...First, thank you for sharing these patterns for free! :)<br />Second, Two questions: <br />I wonder if you have a size range (especially the small end) for the OS fold in pattern?<br />Also would this work doing a polyester/windpro fleece as the outer layer, a couple/few layers of t-shirt as the rest of the layers?
