Cloth Diaper Liner Tutorial

I first attempted to make a whole cloth diaper and learned I suck at sewing elastic. So I decided I would just try and make the liners. I read online that you could make liners out of old T-shirts so I got to work. I use Kawaii Baby Cloth diapers, I love the bamboo liners they have but they are more expensive and the alternative are far too bulky. The T-liners are very slim and VERY absorbent. So I see this as a WIN! Here's the how to! Feel free to fiddle with it and make it work for you! You could make these for any style of pocket diaper really! You could add snaps if you have that style too I am sure.

Step one, find an old T-shirt! Then trace a liner from your current diapers.

Step two, cut it out. I layered the shirt twice over so I would have four layers automatically.

Line them up nicely.

I used 6 layers in a single liner.

Step four, sew two vertical passes to ensure the layers don't slide around during wear or wash.

Should look similar to this!

Step five, sew around the edge. I didn't use any special stitching. Not sure if that will make a difference in it holding up. I sewed around it twice to make sure it was sturdy though!

Good luck and happy DIY!
