As cute as the Babyville Boutique fabrics are, occasionally you may find a designer print that is so irresistible and you just have to make it into an adorable diaper.

In one of my earlier posts, I talked about Quilt Festival, my favorite consumer show, (November 2011) and showed you this picture of fabrics that I loved and purchased for future hidden Babyville Boutique PUL lined diapers. Well, the holidays are over and I have at last put away the last of my Christmas decorations (who out there can relate?), so I now have time to sew again.

Last week, I made the adorable Valentine diaper cover and embellished T shirt for our new grandniece which I showed you in my blog post.  Now, I’ve finished several more pocket diapers and covers using these colorful cotton prints from Amy Butler and Kaffe Fassett and this soft cuddly fleece from Shannon for her as well. 

This FOE (fold over edge) diaper cover with inside yokes is made from a bold tropical type floral from Amy Butler’s Lark collection. I cut out my diaper cover and PUL backing from the Babyville Boutique pattern in Cloth Diapers Made Easy.  I backed the cotton with the Babyville Boutique PUL using a fabric glue stick and treated the two layers as one fabric. I then finished assembling the diaper.

With the extra fabric, I also made the matching bib using the pattern in Baby Essentials Made Easy. If you don’t have the book, make your own pattern by simply tracing one of your favorite bib styles on paper, cut out two layers of PUL fabric for the bib, a pocket from the cotton fabric, and line the pocket with PUL. Sew a top hem on the pocket, and stitch it to the front of the bib. Stitch both layers of the bib together along the outer edges, wrong sides together. Encase the raw edges in   FOE (fold over elastic) and stitch. Add snap closures, and you’re done.

These two diapers are Turn and Topstitch diapers and are lined with PUL which was glued to the outer fabric prior to assembling as I discussed above. As with the Yoke Diaper Cover, I then treated the two layers as one and continued to finish my diapers. 

Backing cotton fabric with Babyville Boutique waterproof PUL provides opportunities for you to make an array of other finished projects, and by expanding your diaper stash, your darling baby will be the envy of her/his play date circle of friends.
