Prefold to fitted
I searched the internet and all I could find was tutorials on how to make prefold into fitted with a serger which I don't have yet (but plan to get one soon) then I found Arfy tut and it was perfert here's the link http://prefold2fitted.blogspot.com/2011/08/non-serged-prefitted-as-promised.html?m=0
I made a small adjustment cause I wanted the wings to be longer but her tutorial was exactly what I was looking for
This is what you need
Prefold
Braided elastic
Thread
Scissor
Safety pin
Marker
Any diaper pattern( or you just free hand)
And a regular sewing machine
First thing I did was make the lines for where I need to cut for the wings I kind of freehand it but I did use the pattern to help with the curves
Then cut the front wing so you can attach it to the back wings to make them longer
Sew the middle part together then turn rt side out
Sew piece to the back wings
Sew casing for elastic and zig zag wet zone down
Cut elastic .. I normal cut elastic the length of one of the side of the casing and then cut that in half
Tack elastic on the outside of each casing then thread through with a pin the tack again
All done ... I normally use a snappi to keep it close .... What you think???
if you make one please post a link to the picture, I would love to see how it comes out ...
If you have questions please asks
Great idea!
