Step 3Sewing on hook and loop fasteners
1. Choose a layer of fabric that will become the outermost layer of the diaper (if you're using fleece, the fleece is the outermost layer).
2. Sew on the loop side of the fastener to the front of the diaper (see picture).
3. To make the laundry tabs: Hem the straight side of the tabs. Hem it again so there will be no raw edges or fraying after laundering a few times. Cut off the excess at the bottom of the hem.
4. Pin tabs to the wings. To sew them on, make sure you leave the straight hemmed side open because it will need to flip over the hook side.
5. Sew your 2 inner layers together. Make sure you sew everything, including the 1" flap that will make the pocket elastic casing.
6. Choose a layer of fabric that will become the innermost layer, closest to the baby's skin. Sew the hook side onto the inside of the wings.
7. Sew your 2 outer layers together like the inner layers. If you're using fleece you won't need to sew the two layers together, because there's only one.
