How to Make DIY Stretchy Flat Cloth Diapers (No Sew) + Boosters (Regular Machine)

🌟Aloha! Here's how I'm making DIY stretchy flat cloth diapers. These are no-sew flats, made simply by cutting the fabric. I also show how I am sewing boosters on my regular sewing machine with a stitch that is similar to a serger. Feel free to use the time stamps to skip ahead. ⬇️

I've been doing this, and it's the easiest and cheapest diaper out there!

[@ECpeesy]

Easy, for sure! What type of fabric(s) did you use?

[@ECpeesy]

Are you thinking of making stretchy flats?

[@bethanneteal6699]

I would be interested in a review on the flappy nappy you mentioned!

[@abmrose]

Hi Heidi! I’d love to know what you prefer about this particular jersey fabric over the flats you’ve purchased. Thanks!!

[@ECpeesy]

It’s a nice thickness (thicker than the others so also more absorbent) and also a nice smooth texture.

[@haleypersonna8476]

On the one you have been using for a while, did you finish the edges at all?

[@ECpeesy]

No, I didn’t finish the edges on any of my DIY flats. They’ve held up just fine. 💜 Heidi

[@HollandKeizer]

Are flats difficult to clean the poop off of once they stop breastfeeding?

[@ECpeesy]

I think flats are relatively easy to clean once they start eating solids, since the flat is just one layer of fabric. We often used flats pad folded inside the pocket of Bebeboo GROW trainers, so only the pocket portion needed to be sprayed off (similar to a pocket diaper). I also heard a trick recently with origami fold, to flip it over after folding, so it's one continuous piece against Baby, instead of lots of folds where poop could get stuck. 💜 Heidi
