Step 2Preparations
1. Iron all fabric.
2. Trace template onto fabric. You will need 4 layers of flannel OR 2 layers of flannel and 1 layer of fleece (the big side will become the back of the diaper and the small side will be the front).
3. Adding pocket elastic flap: This is very hard to explain, so please use the pictures for reference. Line your yardstick up with the narrowest point of the crotch and the back of the diaper. Trace 1 inch past this back line. Repeat on the other side. You will end up with a tab that is 1" tall as shown in the picture. This step is important to do because it allows for the elastic to be properly installed later in the process. It would also be possible to add this extra flap onto your template.
4. With scraps left over from cutting out the fabric, trace the wings from the diaper to make the hook protector. This will prevent the hook side from snagging the other laundry in the washing machine.
5. Iron all pieces of fabric.
6. Cut your 16" of elastic into four 4"pieces.
