Wow. It looks really hard actually.

[mayna]

It's not... I don't sew that well and I can do it. You haven't tried to do hard things like zippers, buttons, pleats, and with hard to work with fabrics apparently... THOSE are hard. :-)

She's right, it's actually not that hard. Following a Vogue pattern with interfacing, etc. is hard. I had never sewed and with only a tiny bit of practice, I was able to follow her instructions and made some great diapers. The hardest part is actually the cutting to make sure all layers are cut the same - and also sewing through velcro and the layers. Tip - make the wings without the inner layers of fabric so they are thinner.

[mayna]

hmmmm I should buy a serger then I can get you to teach me how to make the diapers and you can let me use your sewing machine and you can use my serger ;) I actually just need to buy both!

[mayna]

I'd actually start out with a sewing machine, it's much more versatile. Sewing machines are pretty cheap, I got mine for like $130.

now do u have it in a smaller size ???

I don't see why not, but be careful of what thread you use, because the thread can wick through and cause leaks. Maybe a 100% polyester thread?

Found them! Now I will go make some for myself using your directions!
