Simple Doll FOE Diaper

I made a bunch of these for my daughter's Cabbage Patch doll, and some friends requested that I draw up the template for them. *However, I rounded the front because people seem to prefer sewing FOE that way. ;)

I used anti-pill fleece and fold-over-elastic since they didn't need to be absorbent. They fit several of her other dolls as well. Like her American Girl doll etc. I also used cheap velcro from the craft store for the velcro ones, so they are easy for a toddler to fasten and unfasten by herself.

Newborn AIO Squaretab Diaper

I couldn't resist neglecting my kids in front of the TV while they ate breakfast this morning so I could sew up a newborn AIO too. It is my first time using a cotton print wing-to-wing (W2W). I hope it doesn't wick too badly! :D

Squaretab AIO Sewn-Up

This one will be a bit big and bulky for her for a while... ;) I couldn't resist sewing my first Elementalish AIO though.

I cut out the sewn-in contoured part of the soaker with 1 layer cotton heavy interlock shirting and 1 layer cotton baby terry. I then serged around the edges to fray-stop. I would have probably rather used one layer of heavy bamboo fleece, but I am all out. The inner petal style soaker is a 3-layer bamboo baby terry insert from Alva that I trimmed the edges down on and sewed to both ends of the contoured layer.

I cut a plain white PUL inner layer and cut out the contour hole. Then pinned the PUL in place over the soaker.

I used a zig-zag stitch around the edges.

Then I pinned the outer to the inner faces-in and sewed around the seam allowance.

Trim those sharp corners off and turn right-side-in.

Sew your elastic casings, add your elastic, top-stitch, and add your wing snaps and you're done!

I decided to do a ruffled back but keep the leg openings plain. It could be done either way though. There was enough allowance around the contour to do a tight ruffle too. :)
