New Diaper done, first version anyway

That diaper I was teasing about with the minimum adjustments for say a daycare is almost done. I have to topstitch and add te hip snaps plus do the insert and it's all done. DS already claimed it. I hope to get it done tonight and then try it on him tomorrow. I'm excited!


ETA: Pics...


Front (smallest setting) This is a large by the way, should fit 30-45 pounds...


Back smallest setting


largest setting, this one looks odd to me and I do want to maybe shorten the wings and change their shape.  For this style I don't care for them much.


inner with snap in insert.  It snaps in three places.

So, there are adjustable waist snaps in the back that allow shortening of the wings, preventing snaps across the front panel and there is adjustable elastic in the legs preventing the snap down rise also on the front panel.  I am going to test it out on DS tomorrow for fit and see how it goes.  I hope well, I am really excited about this diaper.  This one took longer then expected but that is to be expected since I had to figure some things out.

That sounds awesome, Melissa!
Do the back snaps at the waist make it bulky there? I mean would a back napping toddler have a lump in the small of their back?

I don't think so but I won't really know until I put it on DS. I am hoping it won't be too bulky.

By the way Shannon, it has snaps on the elastic like you did. I also like the idea of a toggle thing like soft bums but I didn't have any of those do went the snap route.

It has snaps on the elastic, if you have any of Shannon's awesome diapers and they are truly awesome, it is like that. She makes pockets though and I don't so I had the added challenge of accessing the adjustments.

The back just has an opening, a small one. I had to cut slits in for the leg. It looks ok now but I am still playing with it. We will see how it fits tonight. An your diaper is awesome. He wore it to daycare today.

So I tried it on him and it was a bit of a sag butt on him. Might be too big. It fit in the legs and waist but was a but of a bubble butt. I don't care for the snaps so I am going to try and find a different mechanism. No actions, he didn't leave it on real long. He is a streaker.
