For the past 20 months diapering has always been on my mind. When I was preggers I decided that we would use cloth diapers and after some research decided on gdiapers. We then decided that we had to wait until P gained some weight. Once she did we were a little to used to normal disposables and were having some leak issues. Scott was also
not on board(it grossed him out). I have always kept up on our stash and used them on days when I was home all day. Fast forward to September 2011(when I started nannying) and the little boy I watch is cloth diapered. Now theirs is a little different because they use a service, but it reminded me of how easy it is and the money that can be saved. I have purchased all of our outer cover/liners/insert used from Diaper Swappers I will also be making some of my own inserts soon and larger outer covers. So stay tuned for that:)
So, after some thought I have decided to give it a go again. Scott is still not on board, but hopefully he will learn. Since I travel to and from their house everyday with P, I needed something that I could transport the dirty diapers back to our house. A diaper pail was too bulky and I can't carry that in addition to P, my purse, and her lunchbox. Enter, a 'wet bag'(basically a laundry bag). So for $12 I was able to make one, which to me is way better than the $20-$30 price tag everywhere else.
It was super easy to make. You need 1/2 yard of PUL fabric, 1/2 any cotton fabric(pick a fun pattern), zipper, and matching thread. I pretty much followed this tutorial except I made it larger and added a handle so I can hang it up and carry it. I am super pleased with how it turned out and am looking forward to using it!!!
