Diaper 2.0
I hope to cloth diaper. This is no longer necessarily a matter of cloth rectangles and pins and rubber pants. Cloth diapers are technical now. You can get fitted diapers which are shaped like disposables and fasten with "velcro" (actually, hook and loop called Aplix or Touchtape) or snaps. You can even get all-in-one diapers that are like fitteds, but also have an integral waterproof layer, eliminating the need for a separate cover. These things can all be pretty expensive though. So I have been working to sew some fancy diapers for the boy.
I started by trying to use a cheap pattern and easily available materials, but I was seduced by the online cloth diapering community. Snaps are better than hook and loop, they said, get a snap press. That pattern runs small. Just everyone uses organic bamboo these days. And so forth.
So we arrive at Diaper 2.0.
