Scout is wearing an all-in-one diaper that I made before I even knew I was pregnant. In fact, I may not have actually been pregnant yet. I made like 6 or 7 of these for a friend of mine whose boy was born in August. She gave them back to me yesterday. She only used them on him a few times, so they're still in good shape and they fit Scout really well. The problem with them is that I'm an idiot - I made them with a thick hidden sewn-in soaker pad, so they take forever to dry. I'm not sure exactly how long, but I think they take about 2 hours to dry completely in the dryer. The sewn-in soaker pad has 6-8 layers of flannel, if I remember correctly. Not smart. I did, however, make a few with a separate lay-in soaker pad. I also have 4 unfinished ones sitting on my sewing table that just need their velcro tabs. I'd better get those done sometime soon, because I believe they're a size small. I've already made several soaker pads that will fit inside those dipes.
