About the pattern:
This is a free pattern for a hip closing diaper available in six sizes – premie all the way up through x-large! This can be made with snap or hook & loop closure, and has optional front elastic. The pattern-maker also made a detailed photo tutorial to walk you through the process!
My test diaper:
I made a newborn sized fitted diaper with snap closures. I decided to include the optional front elastic because I think that will really help to contain newborn messes and to provide a more precise fit. I just love this little diaper, I think it is a great size for a newborn and it is really cute! Here are some pictures:
Overall opinion:
I really like this pattern; I think that the diaper is appropriately sized for a newborn and well-proportioned. It has good bum coverage without looking like it would be too bulky. I also think that the photo tutorial is very helpful, especially for someone new to cloth diaper sewing.
Fit update:
Before umbilical cord falls off:
I like this diaper a lot. At around 8.5lbs, it was a really nice fit and still has plenty of growing room. There is no umbilical scoop/snap, but I folded down the front and that worked great.
