Small Diaper Pattern

Small Diaper Pattern
Sewn Pattern
18-25 week size


These finished diapers measure about 5" top to bottom, 1 1/4" at the crotch, and 5 1/2 " across the long tabs


We like to use 1 1/2" (or size 2) safety pins to close the diapers. But if you have a way that might be better that's fine too.

Instructions:
1. Print/cut out diaper pattern
2. With fabric folded right sides together, trace pattern onto wrong side of fabric
3. Cut diaper out
4. Sew 1/4" seam around diaper - right sides of fabric should be together
5. Trim off excess fabric
6. Turn diaper inside out so the right sides are out.
7. Iron/Press diaper
8. Top stitch diaper
9. Fold tabs in and safety pin together

Our pattern is loosely based off of several different patterns:
Skip To My Lou
Doll Diapers
Sizing as compared to Teeny Tears

and also some hand drawn patterns that I'm afraid I cannot link to as they're not anywhere online.
Thank you for your inspiration! Also, special thanks to the volunteers who helped write and test the patterns.

New Patterns and Terms of Use

Have you noticed we have some new patterns up?

Taylor Gown
Large Size Diapers
Small Size Diapers

We're working on getting a few more up too.

Please note:
I am NOT trying to take over any other organizations patterns or ideas. I have run into a little trouble with some other organizations feeling we're not giving them the credit they deserve for their patterns. I realize that every pattern has it's own terms of use but in trying to coordinate donations from many different people and places I can't always keep track of which patterns are used.

We love getting all kinds of donations and gladly welcome any and all patterns, but please be sure that you follow the terms of use on the patterns you use. If you need to add cards, give an account, etc - please do that before you give them to Lily's Angel Closet. We will always pass on any cards or information that come in with your donations.

Here are our terms of use for ALL our* patterns:
1. These patterns and the products they make should not be for sale. They were created and shared freely and we ask that they remain that way.
2. We require no account of the use of these patterns. Use them and share them freely! However, if you'd like to share what you've done with our patterns you can email stories and/or pictures to lilysangelcloset@gmail.com.

*All patterns on lilysangelcloset.blogspot.com and loveyoumorethanabus.blogspot.com count as our patterns - since I wrote the patterns on the bus blog too.

If you have any questions about any of this please email lilysangelcloset.blogspot.com and we'll get it all figured out.

Thank you to all the people who have put so much time and effort into getting these new patterns up. There are more in the works and it's turning out to be a lot more work than I realized it would be. I greatly appreciate those who have been helping me with testing and pattern writing and....well, I've had a lot of help lately, and I'm grateful for it.

The Taylor Gown

 The Taylor Gown
26-30 week size


This is an exciting announcement for us - our first sewing pattern! There has been a lot of work going into this lately. Ginger took a couple of our favorite patterns and combined them to make a gown that is easy to sew and easy to dress on fragile little ones. We named the gown after her angel, Taylor. We are also working on getting this gown in more sizes, but for now this is the first of our Taylor Gowns:




Here is the pattern PDF

I realize now on the instructions I forgot to add tacking on the ribbons on the back. I do that very last after I put the neck ribbon on. You could also add velcro on the back in about the same place. We'll be doing a picture tutorial soon for those of you who would like more instructions.
