Free Diapers ?!?!

Too many receiving blankets? Make a couple of dozen of them into great prefold cloth diapers.

Here's how: Cut one receiving blanket down to about 20" x 36"-40". This should give you a second strip about 7" - 10" wide. Fold this narrow strip in half or thirds to about 20" long. Place this down the center of the large piece, as shown: [ [] ]

Fold in the sides of the larger piece about 2/3 of the way across. Overlap them on top of the folded strip down the center, leaving the diaper about 15" across: [ < []>] = [[]]

Zigzag stitch across the top and bottom raw edges of the folded diaper, making sure to catch in all layers. Stitch down the center pad about 1/2" in form the edge of the center pad.

All measurements depend on the original size of the blanket. Don't be afraid to experiment!
