Pre-Cut Diaper Making Kits
I received supplies to make two size large bamboo fitted diapers with three layers of Zorb in the middle for absorbency and snaps as well as a snaps pliers and elastic! These kits from Wazoodle come in different sizes and quantities, the snaps and snap pliers are sold separately on the Wazoodle website. All you need to complete these kits is a sewing machine and some basic knowledge of sewing! The pre cut kits are for Little Green Bear (LGB) diapers, which are used by leading diaper services becasue they are at a great value, exceptional performance and super soft comfort.
Layers!
The outer layer is a soft and absorbent bamboo terry, 3 layers of Zorb for absorbency in the middle and a soft and durable DiaperMaker™ Pique inner lining. These kits are available in many different sizes and styles for very reasonable pricing! Definitely where any beginner for diaper sewing should begin.
Wazoodle has their pattern for free on their website as well as helpful videos for sewing these kits on YouTube. I have made a few cloth diapers of my own before receiving this kit, but the other ones I've made were just upcycled fabrics from around the house so I pretty much just winged it on those. Following through with Wazoodles pattern and instructions as well as their YouTube video made the process easier and much quicker!
I made two, large sized bamboo fitted diapers with snap closure. This was my first time applying snaps to a diaper, but it definitely was no wheres near as difficult as I had always thought it would be! As this is not a tutorial and Wazoodle provides a great video, I will not be providing the steps that I made to make this diaper. Please check out their site and video for a how to.
I did do one thing different then the Wazoodle tutorial and instructions said, I put the belly snaps on the outer layer (bamboo terry) so that the caps were not directly on bubby's skin. Both of my boys turn beat red even if you nicely grab their arm or if your tickling them it looks like something horrible happened to them! I would definitely advise if you do want to play your snaps on the outer layer that you should add a strip of fabric along the back to help hold the snaps and keep them more secure.
TA-DA! Above is an outside shot and then below is a shot of the inside of the diaper!
The DiaperMaker™ Pique inner lining is so soft and a nice wicking fabric to keep bubby's bum nice and dry to avoid rashes!
I so badly wanted to throw these diapers on Cade and Ezio as soon as they came off my machine, but of course I had to prep them first! I will admit, I was too anxious to try them on the boys that I only washed and dried 3 times. Zorb becomes more and more absorbent with each wash.
I think it's safe to say that smile is a smile of approval!
One thing I would definitely do differently next time is, I would add three snaps to the wings instead of just the two that I have on these two diapers that I made. The diaper is nice and trim and very absorbent. Cade, my 3 year old and 40 pounds heavy wetter wore one of these fitteds over night with his wool soaker over it and we had dry sheets in the morning! Very excited, especially as it is something I made! I also love that this size Large diaper fits both my 26 pound and 40 pound bubbys!
Wazoodle also has kits for other things as well, I'd love to try their Precut Wet Bags Kit as well!

Very cool kit! I love how you can make it yourself!
ReplyDeleteI never used cloth diapers but I am hearing that this is the new thing and everyone seems to love them. I now that two of my cousins use them on their kids and say they would never use disposables. I know one of them would love the fact that these are kits that she could make herself.
ReplyDeleteawesome kit... I would love to think that I COULD get into using cloth diapers but in reality... I think I am too lazy... :(
ReplyDeleteI thought I was too lazy with my first two children, but it really is not as much work as it seems! So much easier then I could have ever imagine! :)
DeleteHonestly, to me, cloth diapers just means 2-3 more loads of laundry in the week. Once you get a rhythm going, you don't even notice. And the savings!
DeleteI don't know if I could commit to this, but I'd try!
ReplyDeleteI think this is fantastic. I have heard nothing but good reviews about bamboo cloth diapers and it is great that they can be made at home.
ReplyDeleteWow your diaper looks great and glad to hear it works great as well! I have never heard of Wazoodle before... I recently bought a sewing machine and I need kits like these to get me practicing, I think I will get something from Wazoodle! Thanks for the review!
ReplyDeleteThat looks great! I've made two pocket diapers and one AI1, but I haven't made a fitted yet. Well...I tried to turn a prefold into a fitted, but the results are laughable. You, however, did a good job.
ReplyDeleteThis makes me probably more confident than I should be in my ability to make my own adorable cloth diapers!!!
ReplyDeleteyours looks great! i think it would be alot of fun to make diapers myself but I know Id need a lot of practice.
ReplyDeleteThis is really cool! I never even knew they had these types of kids out there. I'd want to make a few just to try it! although i have 0 sewing experience. lol
ReplyDeleteThis is great! i never knew they had kits. you did a fantastic job :)
ReplyDeleteWe have been talking a lot about making our own cloth diapers but it seemed really overwhelming. We might have to try one of these kits and see how we like it before investing!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your review on this kit. Have a lovely day.
ReplyDeleteThis looks great! My husband and I have been talking about starting to sew some more cloth for ourselves. This gives me a little boost of confidence for doing so! Thank you. :)
ReplyDeleteSeriously cool!!!
ReplyDeleteSomehow I didn't even think to make my own. This kit makes it look so easy to make diapers! Thanks for sharing the online resources and your experience with this diaper
ReplyDeleteWow! We are new to cloth diapering and it never even occurred to me to make my own. What a great post, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteVERY cool kit! You are very talented and resourceful!
