Diaper Sewing_: Convert Prefolds
Thanks to Angela for this Frugal Baby Tip!

Tracie asked:
Is there a pattern out there that would convert prefolds to fitted
diapers?

I haven't seen a comercial pattern, but I did see a picture that
someone sent to a list where they did the same thing. What this
person did was fold the sides in a bit to form a casing (I think it
was 1" or 1/2"), straight stitched it down, and then added elastic
inside the casing. The finished product looked more like a pinnable
fitted then a prefold.

The only problem would be if you needed the diaper to be as wide as a
prefold, since with this method you'd lose some width. Other then
that I thought it was a clever idea.
