Experimenting with Size

[le Hollandais]

About a week or so ago, I had some questions about DIY diapers. I'm fairly handy with a sewing machine, and my hand sewing isn't too bad, either. Questions surrounded the topics of fabric, finished diaper size, and so forth. Advice that came in suggested that I try out various dimensions cut out of remnant material, bed sheets, towels, and so on. Good suggestions all, and thanks.

So I have this fairly good sized piece of cotton flannel. First off, it was much too big. And I couldn't believe that a 36" X 36" piece of fabric would make a decent diaper. So I cut a piece out that was 36 by 36. Well, turns out it does, and fits me snugly, the way I'd want it.  I tried two fairly simple folds and both worked out well. Thanks all who chimed in. If I want commercial diapers, I know what size to purchase. Likewise if I want to make my own.
