DIY Stretchy Flat Cloth Diaper: No Sewing!

[@jessicajohnson4648]

Willow is adorable!! Just now watching this and i did my diy stretchy flats yesterday. I ordered 10 yards and ended up with 24 flats 18 28x28 and 6 30x30. And let me tell you they are freaking AMAZING!!

[@JaysNest]

10 yards!? 😍 GOALS 🙌🏻 That's amazing that you got 24 flats out of it! These are worth every penny

[@kch4580]

You have been such an inspiration through out my pregnancy and I have been praying for a video like this!!

[@JaysNest]

Yay!! I'm glad your prayers were answered ❤️

[@893BREBRE]

Girl yes!! You make such relevant videos

[@JaysNest]

I always dive deep into the cloth communities. It's where I get the inspiration for most of my videos!

[@dawnhepburn4218]

How have I not seen this video before, wow the timing of it showing up in my feed is perfect. I'm so going to join the group

[@louisepionke5807]

How stinking cute is Willow?! Seriously. 😍😍

[@pixiemermaid]

This video is golden. Its a jackpot of diy stretchy flats.

[@marymenville]

loved this vid! I'm pregnant with my first and exploring cloth diapers - i liked that you just went for it with the child safe scissors it made me feel better about not always having everything super perfect - if it works that's good enough. Also your baby is really cute!!!!!

[@ExtremelyMcLovin]

I just ordered 4 yards cause still on sale! I seriously need to get off the internet. Lol

[@JaysNest]

Its been on sale for a few weeks now! I've considered destashing a few diapers so I can get a few more yards lol.

[@honeybee7197]

Cynthia Adair I just ordered 3 yards and bought a serger 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@nikkim9537]

She looks exactly like you💞💞 so cute!😁

[@katiedillard8218]

Loved this video!!! Can’t get enough videos about flats!

[@danielleigims7441]

This is the most helpful video on the internet!! Thanks so much!

[@claraescalante8120]

I love your channel. You are real and have problems just all of us. Thanks for sharing you thoughts and all the cloth diaper recommendations. I have been watching all of your videos during this time of quarantine. I have learned a lot an d I have switched to flats😀

[@lizdaniel3155]

Thank you for sharing. Definitely a great idea for adding to my stash.

[@katehead5356]

Here from TikTok! All the way in Australia ❤️

[@mahparairfan3126]

I love you so much, Jacqueline! On your recommendation, I went ahead and purchased 4 yards of this Bamboo Stretch French Terry Fabric, and the flats I cut out from it are: Eight 28x28, One 30x30 and One 25x25! :D:D:D I'm sooo pleased! Just got done putting the first flat on baby, never been this excited for him to pee or poo hehe

[@chisanainoris5364]

This is so awesome! Always look forward to your videos. Ps love your music selection!

[@typejen7930]

Thank you for making this video! I've tried looking for a video like this months ago! Could only find one blog post with pictures :/ I am in Flat Cloth Diaper Love and have been wanting to make DIY stretchy flats but I've been scared. I am not good at cutting. I want square flats, but I'm afraid I'd end up cutting a rhombus.

[@JaysNest]

I was certain that these would be rhombus shaped but they're all surprisingly more square than I thought would be possible, especially with the technique I used. Rotary scissors will help a lot! Also using the edge of a cardboard box makes for some straight lines, at least from what I've seen.

[@clothwithkodie6181]

Is it bad that I want to switch my whole stash to stretchy flats?! They are just so soft and stretchy! Thanks for the shout out! I love my Bandie!

[@JaysNest]

I'd love to switch my whole stash to stretchies! i do enjoy non stretchy flats just not as much as my stretchy flats lol. And no problem 💕 You have a really great review of it!

[@kendralemb.2428]

That baby is soooooo cute!

[@anastasiawuellner2344]

I really want to order fabric, but the prices aren't great right now... the 2 I'm interested in are $13.95/yd and $21.45/yd.... ugh. Plus shipping.

[@aijuswanasang1]

Thank you for making this

[@JaysNest]

I haven't seen a video about this yet and with the sale on stretchy flats at Kinderel I thought this would be a great time to make this :) Hope it's helpful!

[@briannemoore3394]

You make putting these on so easy 👐 I have been adventuring into stretchy flats and preflats and I struggle getting them on nice and snug on a wiggley baby 🤦‍♀️

[@krispyklean9376]

You are very creative thank you for this helpful video saving those coinz

[@ilovecinnamonrolls8532]

I saw that chubby bub and my heart melted and then I saw your face and I was like, "looks just like momma!" Face structure and smile too! Your baby is beautiful. Thanks for the info! Oh my goodness the rolls 😍 the cheeks 😍 the baby thighs 😍. I'm crying 😭😍😁

[@JaysNest]

I loved all those rolls she had lol it goes by so fast 😭😭💔

[@brendabuenrostro8265]

I think I'm going to have to make my own flats. This is helpful :) My baby was born 11 pounds and is now 27 lbs at 4 months old.. No flats I have bought have been big enough and he still got a lot of growing to do. Maybe 35 × 35? Haha this baby is making me have to go through so much trial and error.

[@JaysNest]

I’ve never tried a flat bigger than 30. Lol 30 was big enough for my 35lb toddler. And while your baby might be big now he will slim down as he starts to crawl. I wish I could give you more advice on sizing. You could always cut one that is 35x35 and see if you like it. If not, you could always cut it down smaller! You can’t add length to your flats once they’re cut but you can always cut them smaller ❤️

[@brendabuenrostro8265]

Jay's Nest that's so smart haha. Yeah I'm Getting used to trying things out now. So I'll make a few big ones and slim it down if necessary. Thank you :)

[@gowrinallathamby7632]

Mostly searched video thank you

[@unraveledmotherhood]

Can't wait to try this out ❤️

[@zamiramm4618]

Loved the video !! Hope to make them soon!! Do you have any specific washing routines for them?? Do you use any liners?? Thanks in advanced and keep it up!!!

[@JaysNest]

I just wash them like my other diapers ❤️ I don’t use liners. I used to! My 4 year old used to be so sensitive to wetness. I’ll use them occasionally but I rarely reach for them anymore

[@lexiehelstrom9655]

This was really informative, thanks!

[@lifeonnoahsark]

I’m trying to find the Flat Cloth Diaper Love group on Facebook but nothing is coming up when I search for the group. Did they change names?

[@JaysNest]

They changed the group to secret 😔

[@5MinuteCloth]

Ha hilarious. “I’m going mask my motherhood with music”. Loverd this intro. I bought used diy stretchy flats and they are my favorite.

[@JaysNest]

For the price & quality they have become on of my favorite flats in my stash!

[@gregorymadisonsmith7760]

Has anyone tried this on baby in hot weather? Does it seem to burn them up because of the material or is it still pretty airy? I live in 80 degree+ weather almost all year.

[@CaptainHaldir]

Bahahaha!!! The chatty-hands!!

[@elliebabyy417]

Did you ever make the video on the Moby wrap? I have one that’s bamboo cotton blend and I want to make some flats for my newborn

[@JaysNest]

I ended up losing it lol. Then I moved recently and found it! Now I don’t know where it’s at again. Probably packed away in a box still. Thank you for bringing this up. I’ll have to look for it! I’m just doing 24x24 inches because the dimensions are so limited on it.

[@lydiahendricks3796]

@@JaysNest also looking for the Moby Wrap Flat video 👍👍

[@JaysNest]

@@lydiahendricks3796 my computer last year shit out on me 😔 the moby video is still on the hard drive of that computer lol. If I’m ever able to recover my videos then I’ll have so much more content to post 😅 With the Moby video being one of them. I just cut them in 24x24 squares, some were 24x25 I think. No sewing ☺️ and that’s it!

[@kenroohr]

Thank you!!

[@MealsMadeAtHome]

Did that group close? Cannot find it to join :( I use exclusively covers and flats

[@JaysNest]

I just checked & it looks like they changed the privacy to "secret". I'm not sure why though?

[@deadlittlebunny]

I just tried looking for it too, and no luck. Why would the want an educational group to be secret? Bizarre.

[@MealsMadeAtHome]

I'd guess the group was flooded with join requests and admins probably can't keep up. That's the only reason I can think of. I am in cloth diapering mamas on Facebook and I love it.

[@timburrows8671]

Omg your baby is sooo cute!!!💜 and this video is awesome, just what I was looking for👍 I have to make some DIY 4 way stretchy flat's .

[@poetsfinest]

Silly question Is "flat cloth diaper love " a secret fb page because i keep looking for it and it doesnt show.

[@JaysNest]

It looks like they did make it secret a few weeks after I made this video. Idk why though.. what a shame. It's been a really helpful group for me to learn from

[@wazowski38]

Jay's Nest hi, would you be able to send me an invite to that group? It doesn’t show when I tried to search for it. I would love to join and learn? Thank you! My fb name is: Thuytiencaole

[@Iselaiselahihi]

@@wazowski38 did you end up joining? I can't find it either

[@TheArkOfPromise]

Do you cut it 30 inches for each side for the square?

[@JaysNest]

Yes! But depending on the dimensions of the fabric it doesn’t have to be perfectly symmetrical

[@adelinafernandez9485]

Hey momma, I want to purchase some stretchy bamboo and bamboo/hemp fleece material but I was curious if it’s good to use as just flats (inserts).

[@MrsWill-wd3mb]

I have some stained jersey sheets that I'm planning on replacing. I wonder if they'd be the right fabric ratio?

[@JaysNest]

I've actually seen that talked about in the flat love group. I honestly don't know how different it would be. If you have Facebook then that group would be really helpful!

[@marisolcastaneda9353]

Read the fabric content label. If it has polyester, don't bother for a diaper buy they may be acceptable for wipes

[@aguilera1728]

Seriously, your child safety scissors cut fabric SOOOOO well. I'm a seamstress and if anyone ever cuts one piece of paper with my sewing scissors they do not ever cut as smoothly as your child safety scissors. 😂😂😂😂😂

[@JaysNest]

My mom is a seamstress as well! This video would make her cringe 😂😂🤣 I'm surprised that these scissors worked so well. I thought it would be a flop lol

[@aguilera1728]

@@JaysNest lol yeah I've tried to cut rags with whatever scissors I find in the kitchen and I cant get one little cut.

[@kerlyq7977]

Hi Jay thank you for the video. I see in this video your baby is using these as if you would put a cover on them. I’m going to be using pockets , are these good with absorbency ? Also , would you keep the sizing the same for pockets ?

[@JaysNest]

I use these with pockets mainly and I enjoy them. 30x30 is a bit big for my pockets imo. I’d probably prefer a 27x27 or 28x28 for just stuffing pockets with. I really enjoy the absorbency of these!

Hey Jacqueline ~ has the name changed for that Facebook group you mentioned?”Flat cloth diaper group” - I’m not finding it

No, they just made it private and un searchable. I think the admins aren’t that active anymore. Either they’re busy with life or their kids are out of diapers.. which is a shame because it’s a helpful group to search posts for
