Universal Newborn Template

Here is a template based on the custom diaper that one of my readers won last week!  I made some changes after sewing the one up for her, so this *should* make a nicer diaper than the one I made for her even.  ;)



It has cut/sew marks for a Flip-style cover, an Elemental-style AIO, a more standard AIO, an AI2 or an AIO with a snap-in soaker...  or, you can just make a pocket diaper with the general shape.

    I really like this pattern and want to sew some of these for my daughter who is expecting but is there a tutorial or instructions?

    Thank you so much. I can't wait to get started! I made a bunch of nb fitted for #2, but I really like AI2's and AIO's so I am really excited to make these for #3.

    Does this include seam allowances? I want to use this pattern for most of my NB stash :)

      Yup. The outer line is the cutting line. The second line is the turned/final diaper line. You sew between those two before turning, elastic, and top-stitching. :) I'd recommend making a few diapers from several patterns, as you never know what will fit your own baby best.

      Thanks Arfy! I'll be working my way through a few of your NB patterns and I was thinking about BaaBaaBaby and some others. I really love your patterns, though!

      Um. It isn't a one-size diaper. It is a newborn-only diaper. It should fit around 7-13lbs depending on the build of the baby I think.

      There are MANY different templates on my downloads page. Several of them are one-size diapers. It is very rare for a one-size diaper to fit an average sized newborn though. The smallest I have seen them fit well is about 8.5lbs.

    I'm in need of one that goes 12-35 pounds. Maybe I'm overlooking those patterns? I can't seem to find them.

      I'm sorry I seem to be clueless.. is the Snap-In Cover System: Cover/Shell and the OS FOE Cover one size?

    2. ArfyJuly 4, 2013 at 1:10 PM

      ANY of the templates that say "OS" are one-size.

    Should I pre-wash the pre-folds before sewing? From the size and pics from your other non-served tutorial it seems like they are not washed first but I wanted to check. Love the pattern. Thanks.

    Could you do a pictorial for the universal? I'm really interested in making this one, but all the lines on the pattern are confusing me��. Thanks for sharing!!

    I am a grandmother who would like to make some Microfleece reusable liners for some young mothers, do you have a pattern or measurements that I can use, I don’t have access to the modern cloth nappies/diapers to work out a pattern. This would be for a the first year at least.
