How to sew a Pocket Diaper

Step 7Insert the soaker in the pocket

Insert the soaker in the pocket
Congratulations! You've finished your pocket diaper! Now it's time to put the soaker in the pocket.

The soaker is removed from a soiled diaper before washing and replaced before a clean diaper is put on the baby.

For my soakers I am using a prefold cloth diaper folded into thirds. You could just as easily use a piece of an old towel or anything else absorbent.

Simply take the prefold diaper, fold it in thirds, and shove it all the way to the front of the pocket.

Also pictured is the hook protector laundry tabs. When you want to wash the soiled diaper, simply flip the fabric tab over and it will protect the other items in the laundry from becoming snagged.

Note -- if you make this with just flannel, it will not be waterproof! If you make it with fleece, it might be. Most commercial pocket diapers are made with waterproof polyurethane coated fabric as the outside layer.

Great, straightforward instructable, though!
