Inexpensive "Pinless" Diapers

Do you wish you could afford pinless diapers, but all you can afford is prefolds? Add some Velcro to your diapers for a great pinless fit!

If your baby is already born, just fold your diapers to fit your baby and try one on for the velro placement. Pin a 4"-6" strip of loop velcro across the front of the diaper, and 1"-2" strip of the hook velcro on the top-inside of the diaper, coming around from baby's back -- one strip on each side of the waist. Make sure this will hold the diaper on your baby snugly and securely, remove diaper from baby and then sew the velcro in place. Use this diaper as a sample to mark the rest of your diapers.

If your baby isn't born yet, fold your diapers down about 1/3 and place your loop velcro across there. When baby outgrows this, you can simply unstitch and move the velcro about 1"-2" above or, for longer use, add another strip of loop velcro that is 2"-4" longer above the first strip.
