Diapering_: Make your own diaper liner
Thanks to Valarie for this Frugal Baby Tip!

I picked up about five yards of vinyl for around $8 -- probably could
have gotten it cheaper if I'd been patient enough to wait for a sale.
With this I was able to make several bags -- one for each diaper pail
and some smaller ones to carry in the diaper bag.

Making a bag is sooo simple. You just have to sew the bottom and side
seam, then sew the top down far enough to make a casing to slip a
cord through --don't forget to leave openings at the side seam. (I
know, I'm not that good at giving directions. :P ) For the diaper-
pail bags, I got fancy and custom-shaped the bottoms, but that's not
necessary. I throw these in the wash with the diapers. I put them in
the dryer for less than five minutes, just long enough to get the
bulk of the moisture off. They've been working for me for 4-5 months
now.

If I could do it over, I'd make less of the small bags to carry in
the diaper bag, and make two identical ones to go in the diaper pail.
So that I could have a fresh bag in the diaper pail while the other
was being washed. Not that it's a big deal, but sometimes I get busy
and washing diapers takes all day. All the diapers that I change
throughout the day need somewhere to wait until my diaper-pail-bag is
clean again. I rarely need as many of the small diaper-bag bags that
I made, since I'm always home when I'm washing them so two would have
been plenty. One day I'll get industrious and make some more.
