Cloth diaper pattern download!
It’s here! The new issue! The issue with my cloth diaper article in it! (Excited? No. Why do you ask?) As I type, thousands of eager BHM subscribers are retrieving from their mail boxes the September/October issue of Backwoods Home Magazine. And the first thing they’re doing is flipping over to read all about cloth diapers. (Right?)
And so, as stated in the article, you can now download the full, multi-sized diaper pattern right here! Cool, huh? (The file will download as a PDF that you can print at home. Just match up the guides [1A to 1A, etc.], tape or glue the pieces together, and pick your size. Seam allowances are already included.) So far the instructions are only available in the magazine, but I know you’re a clever lot. 
Now I hope you’ll bear with me for a couple of weeks while I make any needed adjustments to the download. I’m deep in the chaos of packing, and our moving party is Saturday, but if you have any trouble I will try to help you the first chance I get. I’ll be adding the download button as a permanent fixture to the sidebar soon, too.
I hope you enjoy! (And please note that this pattern is for personal use only. Please don’t make diapers from this pattern for sale.)
I was just sitting here browsin. I am a stay at home mom as well. Mom of 7 and Nanna to 1. babysitter to countless people. When you have a big family people just assume you like to babysit. Anyway I ran across your sight thru a sewing forum. I just wanted to tell you that your babies are beautiful. I had to call the girls into the room to see the sleeping baby. It was nice for the page to open to such a beautiful sight on such a blaaaa day.
Thanks, Dawn
Thanks for the article in BWHM! I used the pattern as a basis for a homemade pull-up for my not-yet-dry-at-night kiddo. WONDERFUL!
Great Article, Annie!
When are you pulling pitch for the West Coast? I’m assuming you’ll chronicle it here?
Love Olga’s cute Pixie haircut, too!!! Adorable.
I picked up BHM for the very first time after spying your homemade cloth diaper article listed on the cover. I really enjoyed the article! After hours of internet browsing to sort out which brand cloth diapers to invest in prior to my baby’s birth and lots of trial and error with various styles from flat to prefold to pocket on my increasingly impatient 7 month old I am very excited to try sewing my own all-in-one cloth diapers.
In your article you talked about the best fabrics to make the diaper out of and mentioned a list of stores in a resource guide at the end of the article. I wasn’t able to find the resource guide and was wondering if I had overlooked it and curious if the list included stores that carry organic cotton grown and manufactured in the USA.
Beyond saving money by using cloth diaper my husband and I are always looking for ways to decrease our impact on the environment and to become more self sufficient. We are appreciate your article and look forward to more to come!
