How many diapers will 1 yard of fabric make?

I am expecting baby #3 and we have decided to cloth diaper this little one. I am wanting to make some diapers but I dont know how much fabric I should buy? Thanks so much ladies!

Depends on the fabric and the style of diaper you want to make and the pattern you use. If you are just going to make pul outer pockets, from a yard of pul for for the outer and a yard of fleece for the inners, I can get 10 newbies, or 8 OSFM from my self made pattern.

Yep!  What kind of fabric, what kind of diapers...   You will need more than one kind of fabric to make whole diapers, unless you just plan to make inserts and buy covers, or vice versa?

I can get 6-8 OS diaper cuts from a yard of 60" wide fabric.

it variesgreatly depending on the size style and pattern as well as how wide the fabric is

I plan on making the OS but with pockets, like the ones they sell on ebay. I am going to buy the PUL by babyville from Joann fabrics. But I am not sure what I will use on the inside just yet.

I can usually get 6 OS diaper cuts from a yard of PUL.   Fleece should be about the same?  

For inserts... the only thing I've ever used is Bamboo fleece and french terry.   I got the same number from each (fleece shrinks, terry doesn't... but terry is thinner, so I needed 3 layers), which was about 4 inserts per yard.   This was without cutoff, so I made them rectangular (so they could be folded either way to change the size).
