Quick-Dry Fitted

Well, obviously the purpose of the fold-in fitteds is easy wash and quick-drying.  However, you can assemble your regular fitteds to get the same effect.

Basically...  You just keep each "layer" of the fitted diaper fairly thin.  My body/shell of this fitted diaper (T&Ted but using my serged fitted template) was an inner layer of a fairly plush cotton velour. and an outer layer of regular weight bamboo fleece topped by a thin cotton knit print.

My snap-in petal soaker is then a top "layer" of 1 layer cotton velour and 1 layer of heavy bamboo fleece.  The bottom layer/petal is 2 layers of regular weight bamboo fleece.  The pieces are serged together and then just stitched together across the very top with the snap going only through the bottom petal.

For a larger size fitted, or a night-time fitted, you'd need more petals in your soaker, or you could use a long-fold soaker.  The goal is just to keep each sewn layer thin for easy washing and drying.

If I were to make this same diaper with T-shirts or just jersey or flannel, I'd use 4 layers for the shell with the elastic running through the middle.  Then 3-4 layers for each petal in the soaker.  :)
