Fitted Diapers

I had some Gerber prefolds I was not using for anything that came with an Ebay lot of Dappi covers I plan to resell. The Dappi's turned out to be too short in the rise for Julia.

Anyway, last night I decided to experiment and turn then into fitted diapers. I folded the sides in, measured 3.5 inches from each end and marked a dot, then drew lines about 1 cm wide from each dot. Then I sewed both lines, ran 6.5 inches of 1/4" elastic in there, and tacked it down. Last step was sewing one end shut and leaving the other end open for "flaps" or "wings."

I got the idea from this webpage.

Here's how mine look:
