A Fitted Diaper: RRP



You know I am new to cloth diapering... and I am scared of this diaper. It's a "fitted diaper;" it's a "pocket diaper." That means it is not waterproof. It needs a diaper pin. It's only 2 layers thick, but has a pocket that can be stuffed with whatever absorbent material I see fit. But enough of my phobia - This diaper was amazingly easy to sew. It dried in a snap. And with a mom that was paying attention, I felt it get moist, but we had no leaks even without an extra cover! But most importantly... it's ADORABLE!!!

Notice the ladybug on her bottom?
Not sure if I wrapped it around exactly right (it looks a bit bunchy) & I was scared of pinning her. Since I don't have a snap press, I may try adding velcro to this one.
All I stuffed it with for this wearing was a microfleece towel.
The pattern is called Rita's Rump Pocket (RRP) one-size flannel fitted pocket diaper. Rita, cloth diapering mom of 2, came up with this pattern and is sharing it with the world free of charge!

WoW- I am so envious of you having such an awesome store to visit- we have nothing like that here in bonny Scotland. I love all your projects too- those diapers are so cute!

You are braver than I! And more talented--those diapers are so cute--do you sew dresses to match? I just wrote a whole post on the cost of disposable diapers--frugal as I am, I just can't make myself go cloth (cute as I see now that they can be!)

I know this is old... but that is just adorable! I've been sewing all-in-ones for a while now, but for some reason I haven't ventured out into fitteds, I may have to try. We usually either use AIOs or prefolds in a cover. Thanks for sharing your pattern :)
