Anyone Make Their Own Cloth Diapers/fitteds/covers?

oooh no. I couldn't do that. if you can do it - you go girl!!

I have a really good sewing machine too. I just would not be able to do that - it seems like it would take a lot of time and money...however, since I didn't go cloth diapers - i don't know what the financial impact would be

Cloth to me would seem like the water and electric or gas bill would go up for all the washing...I would want to clean them separately from the rest of the clothes.

My sister in law started making cloth diapers and the patterns last year when she was pregnant with her third. She gives lots of advice on cloth diapering too. Her blog is:

Good luck!

Cheryl - I have used cloth for 2 1/2, and we have seen no rise in our electric bill. We do wash all my son's clothes with his diapers. There has never been an issue, everything is clean :) Our water bill is usually around $50 a month.

In response to you actual question, I have not tried, because I was gifted cloth diapers. (Lucky, I know!!) Before that I was planning on making my own. One tip, if you use PUL...do NOT buy it at Joanns or other fabric stores. It is not the same PUL!!! Order it online. Here are some resources for you:

If you choose not to make, our stash cost about $200. You can do that for less with other brands we've tried and liked. If you want any advice on cloth diaper brands, we have over 6 brands in our stash and I could share the best and cheapest ones :) Message me, if you want more info!

ETA - Here are charts of the best detergent for cloth diapers. I'm not sure about Tide, but it will be on there!

Pamela, I really think that, for me, the time that it would take to sew & acquire the supplies would result in not much real savings. When you are in school, time is money. I think those things might really take a lot of time, which you might need for studying, and all the other things that you do around the home (I know you are a BUSY mom already). Investing in a decent supply of cloth diapers is about $200 or so. I bought some 2 yrs ago, and I haven't spent a penny on cloth diapers since then (not including the laundering expense, which is a small percentage of our household usage).

Do you already have a sewing machine?
Can you get free patterns or fabric?

I have seen some posted on Freecycle, so that might make it more feasible.

Pamela,
Lots of times places that sell fabric (Joanne's, etc) have sewing classes pretty reasonably priced. Or a community college. You might be able to find a pattern on-line and a YouTube tutorial!
Good luck!
